The biggest difference between the drums is the rims. Triple flanged on the Tama vs. die cast on the Pearl. That's why the Tama has all those overtones, and a possible reason why it's also lower in pitch
The thing I love about whenever a new series gets started on this channel is that, every time, the first few episodes come out and the presenters are quite scripted and constrained and a little nervous, hey we wouldn't be human if we didn't get nervous! But as time goes on they become more and more relaxed and their own style comes into play and it turns into something that's so entertaining to watch, just see the difference from the first to latest Sounds Like or Guitar Paradiso episodes, and that evolution is so interesting and heartwarming to see, great job on this channel here guys :)
Can he hear? They are not even close in pitch
you beat me to it.. they were never the same pitch. at low tuning the Tama was a lower pitch . then at the high tuning the tama was at a higher pitch. doesnt help for a comparison.
that being said the Pearl sounds like it has a thicker shell and thicker/more solid hardware..
Problems with this video
1. Factory Heads
2. Not tuned to same pitch.
3. No comparison with and without orings or different muting
4. Only sticks were used.
5. Different plies
6. Tuning was uneven on both drums. (certain overtones can be heard in both drums that prove unequal tuning on lugs)
I feel like the pearl is better
Funny thing is, that the Tama SLP G maple 13x7” , sounds better than both of these and is much less expensive.
FLANGED vs DIE-CAST hoops.
That would make a very noticeable difference (plus the pearl is tuned a lil higher than the tama). Flanged hoops allow the outer edges of the head to vibrate more freely, resulting in more sustain and an open tone.
-Die-cast hoops restrict vibration, creating a dampening effect on overtone buildup.
So I am wondering how they would sound like if they had the same hoops.
Personally though i prefer Die-cats.
Is it just me or tama is always tuned a bit lower for whatever reason?
I get that too, it might have something to do with size or the head
Could be differences in the shell thickness tbh
It could be lost connection between your ears and your brain.
Slightly thicker shell and die-cast hoops rise the pitch. Had Pearl and I wasn't happy with low tuning
Deathrape2001
W00t? Go back to school random stupid schoolboy you missed all the physics classes.
Thin shells give lower pitch, more mids and lows with less projection, thicker shells give quite opposite. Back to basics.
Might as well be comparing pillows. Those o rings are killing the drum's tone.
why would you do a drum comparison with dampened drums? does that not defeat the purpose some what? I'm not trying to be a dick just genuinely curious.
Even I that have a pair of terrible ears notice how bad the Tama is compared to the Pearl. And I am not even a drummer.
Same man
I think the Pearl sounded better at the low tuning but the Tama sounded better at every other tuning. I would like to see a David v Goliath where you put a DW black nickel over brass against a Ludwig Black Beauty. Maybe DW steel against Ludwig steel, too.
I love the straightforwardness of this! Keep it up this way!
Change the heads for the same ones. That just going to make comparison fare, everyone change their heads to whatever they prefer and the tone is at least going to be depending only on the drum itself. Also, can we get more of an instant feedback from the drummer? And please, please get rebea and Ben to work on this stuff too! At least bea, he has quite some experience in making interesting demos and reviews
You need to play them both with full kits and playing rim shots like you would in a rock song. That's mostly what people are going to use them for, so we would need to hear them in that context to really tell which is better.
I have a question. Are they on the same tension in the same tuning level? I wonder because they are in different pitches.
They are at the same pitch. They just sound different due to construction.
You are an idiot. I would even say more - you're earless idiot.
I think Pearl's is tuned a little bit higher. I noticed that Tama's has quite a lot of overtone.
Wutipong Wongsakuldej
It's one full tone higher. Pearl is like B, Tama is like A.
Its the hoops
Great job. More of these videos please. 👍🏻
i'm really glad andertons is not just doing instruments now, but also drums! keep up the good work!
Oi! Drums are an instrument!
You guys should use the drum dial when tuning the heads so you can assure that they are tuned to the same tension
Would be nice to compare Tama SLP Vintage Poplar snare and new Ludwig Club Date snare.
The Pearl snare tuned high is how I like my snares to sound. Great stuff, keep up the good work! :)
Absolutely no point to compare drums this way. Every snare has his own "sweet spot" + you can use different skins, hoops, mufflers
The rings makes this comparison a little bit useless, they sounds both dead, there's no real difference between the two snares, except for more overtones on the Tama. Only a comparison without the ring will let us hear the beautiful tone of the Pearl!
I can see O rings on both drums throughout, not just in the final sequence.
That aside, I preferred the Pearl, even though it was very flat sounding - the Tama rattled and its tone was not sweet enough - I usually play 14x8 snare drums.
Some nasty overtones on the tama
I agree. To me, compared to the Pearl, it sounded cheap and toyish.
Tama is awesome don't hate
tama is awesome but a poorly tuned drum is a poorly tuned drum
Typical Tama (and yes, I used to be a "Tama fanboy"), unfortunately...
Well, the Tama snare is around £150 , and the Pearl snare is £900. So I think it's quite understandble that there´s a big difference...
in low the Pearl sound better
in medium both are greats
in hi the Tama.
over all for me i pic the Tama for progresive, jazz , fusion, gospel.
For balads and rock the Pearl
True
please take these rings off the drums. I wanna hear the true overtones!
and pearl won the high, but i don't use low range anyways so i didn't care much abou the low range.
More drum demos by this guy! Just let him play for half an hour, I'd watch it!
Nice job again Tobes + Editor(s), I liked the range of techniques showed as it helps give an idea of what each drum is like at various volumes and in various styles. Thumbs up on the 3x pitches, always a good thing to hear.
Still I would personally would like to hear without O-rings... maybe moongel or similar as a compromise? :D
The video even seemed to tease a section that would be without O-rings as it labelled one specifically as being 'with O-rings'... Twas a red herring!
Is there some technical restriction for recording we don't know about on the dampening front? Or is it your personal experience with live settings that's making you guys go towards the more heavy dampening?
Looking forward to more videos regardless. Lovely stuff.
You're comparing a Tama $200 snare vs a $400 Pearl snare and in my opinion the Tama sounds warmer and More tone.
Dennis Rivenburg ITS A $800 PEARL VS $150 TAMA WTF
You guys are totally missing the point of David vs Goliath.
tama won the mid range segment
To be honest, I am a Tama fan but when it comes to snares, Pearl tends to nail it. Mostly for their crackling warmth but at times Tama does manage to pull off some very impressive snare sounds.
But as said below, if you compare a 200 dollar snare to a 400 dollar there will most likely be some differences. Overall Tama did good for this snare, but if you want an evenly match, try their higher series, like their starclassics or custom mades.
Pearl sounded so much better than the Tama
Agreed. Forget those Noisy Players.
Do these comparisons with moongel instead of o-rings, the rings kill the snare's sound completely...
+Radek Vít Isn't the moon made of cheese???
It is of course, that's what moongel is manufactured from.
Man can not live by bread alone.
I cut a small square out of an old mousepad around 1.5" and tape it to the batter head seems to really work well. You can experiment with different sizes.
I like the Tama snare's tone
I felt like the Tama had more attitude to it.
i am a guitar player and i had no clue you can tune a drum to fit a note. does it have to be in the same key as the song? i didn't know it vibrates at a high enough frequency to make a note
you can pretty much tune to any note it doesnt have to be in a key. tuning it to a note just means a nicer more even tone
***** they can be, and often are in studio settings
Drums can be tuned to a pitch. Drums are pitched instruments, but they are non-specific pitches. Basically there's so much inharmonic content that it's hard to distinguish a note, thus "high, medium, low".
+Stephen Barlow Absolutely, second that. Tuning the drums for each song is easily a 30mins-1hr process for each song tracked at a pro facility but just getting the snare and kick can be great for a home/project studio level. Of course it all means nothing if the song isn't good. But if youve got a kick ass song take some extra time n give it every chance to be heard.
yeah i know in jazz they do that with toms a lot
The Tama was losing really bad until the high end tuning. Still got beat by the Pearl, but not as humiliatingly.
Having had almost no experience with drums before, the Pearl snare sounds so much more appealing.
Great Demo man,Thank you first,Id take the pearl,,,,Lovely,,,
The links work, but the Tama was not in stock so I couldn’t get your price compared to the £900 Pearl. It’s easy to appreciate the Pearl’s more complete tuneable tone as opposed to the rangier Tama together with its overtones. The O ring brings those overtones in-check and produces that phat sound which may appeal to certain players and producers alike. If it’s your professional performance you rely on as a career there is only one choice, the Pearl. With it’s considerable price tag the blow is slightly softened by a boutique carrying case for your treasured instrument.
I like the Pearl drum better. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who noticed it but I think the Tama snare's wires made a cameo appearance when they were allegedly turned off.
Can you guys do a comparison between beginner drumsets, and maybe give us some recommendations for us who want to start playing? Great video btw!
Bearing in mind I know nothing about drums, the Pearl just sounds like what I'd expect a snare to sound like. It sounds like a studio snare. The Tama sounds different. Which makes me think it sounds less proffessional
Just watched a guy hit 2 drums for 5 minutes.. nice
Imagine what Rush fans must feel like at their gigs then.
+L Blair hahahahah
Why you use O ring??? Its not real sound from their wood
what about a Yamaha stage custom vs Ludwig supraphonic?
I'm not a drummer, but the Tama sounds like a "circus drum", as if it's about to introduce Coco the Clown!
They both make 'snare' sounds and can be used to keep time. I don't see the difference, says the life long guitarist.
L Blair lol it's Kool , but thier is a big difference
no good test with o-rings
Great comparison, both drums are great, the Tama has a little more ring to it, it does have a stock drum head on it which the one the Pearl is a higher quality remo head, probably a Remo emperor, which is a double ply head with less overtone, on the Tama is just a single ply stock low quality head, hence why it does not sound as good.
why wouldn't they tune them to the same pitch
It looked like you guys had the O Rings on both drums the whole video. It would make sense. They were both dead sounding the whole time. Also, the pearl drum had a standard masters badge. Why are you calling it 1 piece? It's probably 6 ply maple.
why not use 57?
What would be interesting is if you get 2 guys, both blind folded ;) and have them play/listen to two different snares. Then have them make their mind up on which sounds better.
Similar to those Rob Chapman blindfold challenges XD
It's so easy to shop with your eyes when it comes to beautiful looking pieces.
If you are going to do a side-by-side comparison then I would like to hear how many turns of the drum key you put on each side of the drum for each tuning (High, Mid and Low). Without that it's hard to gauge whether the differences in tone we are hearing are from the drum or the tuning inconsistencies. I understand that getting the drum in tune with itself makes replicating the amount of turns difficult, if not impossible, but it would be a good metric to start with. It would probably be a good thing to do with product showcases too.
Another consideration is whether or not to use the stock heads. People who would buy the more expensive drum are likely to replace the head(s) with their particular preference straight away; while people who would buy the cheaper one will eventually have to replace the (cheap) stock head anyway. I think I would rather hear the drums with aftermarket heads, so as to remove that variable.
I hope I didn't come across as negative; I think it's great that you are doing drum related videos, and really hope it continues!
The Pearl sounded better to me. The Tama didn't seem to be tuned to the same pitch as the Pearl. The Tama sounded a little more ringy, maybe tad bit hollow.
Im no drummer but shouldnt the heads be the exact same so it becomes a completeley fair comparison? also, were the drums tuned the same? pitch sounds different. Also, give your closing thoughts on each head at the end of the video, like what do you tjink, tones, and is it worth the price or you can stick to the more affordable one, and stuff like that? Rob and the Captn always give their thoughts and people still has a word on what they noticed on the videos about tone, quality and so on. So, great video, but i think you can improve a lot.
For snare videos in the future, can we also get a small diaphragm condenser with the dynamic? I'm having trouble hearing the snap over the thud.
i loved the O rings on both. They tie here!
The Tama I find is quite a bit more ringy compared to the Pear. The pearl has an overall tighter sound while the Tama feels darker and looser tone to it. I mean it was really an interesting comparison. I initially thought that they'd both sound much the same due to them being the same wood, but it does look like there's more factors than just the wood, snare head and head tunings. From the sound of it, it might even come down to the finish on the wood and what type of lacquer, varnish or finishing they used on the shell itself. This actually surprised me greatly though. Great comparison!
Is the Pearl £500 better than the Tama ?
Thats the right way what a snare sound test is! congrats! Hit by hit. note by note!
The red one has a distinct ring, always.
Not a fair comparison, one has a Remo head and the other one has an Evans head. You can clearly hear the superior sound of the Remo head.
Die cast hoops make all the difference. The heads are stock ,and those rings suck. Is the bottom head going up too or just the top. I crank the bottom medium high.
I liked the pearl better in the lower range.The Tama seemed tinny kinda. I guess the choice is really subjective. I'd pick the pearl overall.
The O Rings completely kill the sound, and also the demo. They are meant to muffle overtones, and if a defining characteristic of a certain drum is the overtones, then what's the point in comparing? You could have used a cheap Amazon Griffin snare and a DW Collectors Maple Snare and there wouldn't have been much tonal difference with the O Rings.
How do you tell a shit tuned snare to a well tuned one? And how can you tell and cheap snare ?
I have one of those Tama snares and the problem is the factory heads and the snares strigns if you do what i did the results
would be diferent.
The tama took it for the body that it gave to the ghost notes as well as true resonance in real world application.
I don't find it a fair comparison. That TAMA is not well tuned, you can't make a comparison it that way, you make your product look like is not worth any penny. If you want to sell that's not what you want to show.
I can’t tell a difference and I doubt an audience could either.
I fell in Love with pearl after watching Drum line movie. It still sounds the same on this video means they maintain quality. Tama is too harsh for me. As a Sound Engineer, I will still prefer to record with Pearl if your both mics are the same quality. Did you try swap mics for the Snares to see the results?
Those TAMA overtones and that pop!🤤
needs more dialogue. would love to know what this guy thinks as hes playing/evaluating. presentation is too dry.
The pearl sounded better tuned low-medium. Tama shined on high tuning. I wish he didn't use the o-rings though.
For a comparison video, take the sampening rings off, tune the drums evenly and at the same pitch.
He should have put a ring on both or neither. It completely defeates the purpose when they aren't on the same pitch. Tuning is essential in comparisons.
This not a good comparison...the heads on each are different...and the plastic hoops deaden the sound...not much difference to me
Good comparison, I'd really like to get some information on the snares (or any product in the upcoming videos) as well.
great comparison, to my ear, the sound is very similar with the exception of some overtone "ring" coming from the Tama. not sure if there is a simple way to tame that... but if so, it would be worth it.
Do you know how to tune?
Both great snares have to go with the pearl little warmer for me
The TAMA snare is tunned in A and the pearl is tunned in E. Thats why tamA and pEarl I guess.
Non-drummer here. Is this what it feels like when normal people watch guitar gear videos?
I feel like (and this is just my preference) the Tama has more character and life to the sound. One thing to note though: i'm not sure this is a valid comparison as there are diecast hoops on the Pearl and steel on the Tama
PEARL
I see that andertons has Worldmax snares in stock. I'd love to see how their snares compare to more expensive stuff, like a Supraphonic etc
And by the way - the drum videos are great :D Good job dude
I remember seeing those when I went to andertons, I had never heard of them before but they looked like really nice snares
Stephen Barlow I've heard great things about them
You guys should do a review of the tama soundworks snares that were released at namm in January
it is a crime to put o-rings on such good snares
I wish you hadn't used O rings, they are always WAY too much dampening. Moon gel!
Liked the Pearl on the low and med tune myself. Then on the high tune the Tama seemed to have a crisper sound. The Pearl on the high tune had a quick flat punchy sustain.
Overall I liked the Pearl best.
I have a yamah tour custom maple 14 by 6 but I prefer a steel shell for rock.
i'm a tama guy but they both sound good to me
Next time do a full kit and switch out the snare
How much does Pearl pay you anyways for these?
Ive hand both but the tama imperial sounds better for me probly cause it has a hole on the side od them drums
Not sure if I would compare a metalworks, with a Masters? Maybe a starclassic
