14x8 on medium and high tuning was perfect. 👌

Excellent video! It's the definition of keeping variables to a minimum.

[@raycavazos8927]

Right? They did it perfect. The one that pisses me off most is when you are listening to a cymbal demo and you really want to hear just the cymbal but the deno person wants to focus on their playing instead. Kills me.

[@1313260]

I liked the 6.5x13 all tunings

[@JAMBI..]

Sounds like SOAD. imo

[@georgefromgreece4119]

Agreed

[@JulianFernandez]

Which Size Is Right For Me? ALL of them! haha. killer tones!

[@TheFuriator]

Outstanding video!

[@VON_RHEDBEARD]

The 13” and 14x8 are my usual go to

[@PosterityProduction]

Same

[@maestro_3079]

Thanks ❤

[@diegopendinorodriguez4829]

6.5x14" it is the perfect size.😊

[@raycavazos8927]

Perfect demo.

[@dancalabrese3523]

6.5x14 all day long.

[@gordgibson6654]

6.5 x14 and 8 x 14 for my ears they're very useable sounds

[@ldranic9796]

THANKS

[@chaneppchannel_365]

I prefer high tone.

[@rhythmista7707]

Such an unorthodox size for snare drums, but that 15 is really speaking to me..

[@bherward]

It's really an early turn of the century size drum. Pretty cool...even Ludwig make a Supralite in 15x5 now...

[@markscott529]

I'm a tuning noob. Can someone explain the high setting? Like, what frequency to tune the batter and resonate heads. I'm liking the 14x8

[@DaisyHead666]

Probably just cranked as high as it can go

[@drs-Rigo-Reus]

Try 400 Hz

[@brent3760]

5 by 14!!

[@edoardozampetti4601]

for recording more best 6.5"-8" depth..with the right intonation..5 "depth is good for live jazz funky..in any case, tuning a 6.5-8 shell high does not make sense because its sound qualities are not exploited.. those of power and body

[@ivanbajovic3476]

Good test but the guy hits too soft.

[@totigerus]

This is true for 95% of snare demo vids.

[@JamesK-i9e]

Horrible test. You can't tell a snare sound with other sounds going on.

[@TruePlatform]

Do your ears work?
I was able to hear the body, detailed attack, and different rings of each different size snare.
