Great to hear Canopus Mahogany 5.5, alot of deep lows for a snare that size. I was thinking more for delicate jazz stuff but Shane here pounds the crap out of it to wake it up and it sounds great!
I find that the more I listen to all of your videos... anything in a 5 1/2 depth to my ear seems to have the best crack and sound the best on room mics
Although I liked them all, I still love Canopus snare drums. Tony helped me select the Canopus 6.5x14 Mahogany snare and it’s definitely worth every penny. Great drum. Very similar to the 5.5x14 with just a little more bottom end.
The drum I liked the best was the bass drum. That "thump" was heart stopping. As far as the snare drums go, by a nose I liked the DW Carbon Fiber best. I could see that drum being perfect no matter the music style(s) being played for the night. Nice playing Shane.
@@thesneakygamer4343 seriously. It is such a great all around snare material. But I find myself searching for interesting/ unique snare sounds lately. The schagerl copper was so good. This brass is great, too, though.
I would get a DW carbon fiber snare, but in the "pi" size. Tune it up high, it sounds astonishing. Normally I don't care for really deep snares, but the last one you played with the convex shell (never seen that before) sounded great with higher tuning.
Hey Sean, about 10 + years ago you had a snare drum tuning video where you kept the bottom head tight, and just adjusted the top head. Do you still tune that way?
I Always enjoy the sound of the Canopus Mahogany, no matter the size/depth, and the Schagerl really did sound great. Another solid video. I like Dunnett, but their sound is different than other manufacturers, subtly, and I'm not sure if it's really what I like for snare drum sounds. Cool drums though, no doubt.
I think it's a refreshing breath from the old Bonham fanatic mindset,you know? Pert was over the top to,so was Stewart Copeland,the appice brother's,Aldridge just to name a few
It's weird, man! They all kind of sound like snare drums!!!??? What's up with that?! With different heads, and different tuning, different sticks, and various muffling techniques, you can pretty much get the sound you want from almost any snare. Sure, the type of hoops matter, too...AND THE Player! The biggest differences I've found in most snare drums is the sound of the cross stick/side stick...and sensitivity to brushes. But those will change with the variables I mentioned above as well. The most important things to me are the quality of the throw-off/strainer, and the ease of tuning/tuning range. But between these, my favorite was the Dunnett Copper in higher tuning. I wish you guys would always include a side stick comparison in these videos. And a few patterns with brushes wouldn't hurt, either. And a back-to-back comparison of a single rim shot for each drum with time for the overtones to decay would be sweet as well.
I got unsubscribed to you guys. I don't know how, but I did. I certainly didn't undo anything, so I'm thinking TH-cam might have had something to do with it. Hopefully no one else has this problem. I love your store and content.
I think they all sounded great but im not gonna click that link cause they gotta be too much money for my budget right now. Suggestion- how about a cowbell comparison video. Now that's something in my budget .
It does sound really nice, indeed. I have some really nice wooden snares, so I can't justify the purchase. If I did not have the ones I already have, I would be more tempted!
Schagerl and both Dunnett are the ones I liked the most, Canopus nice but quite standard sound, don't understand DW: what is the added value of that carbon snare? Definitely overpriced and I'm sure won't be a top seller. Notable mention the K sweet ride, simply fantastic! Great job guys
Great video! But I'm always wondering why Canopus uses this shitty stale vanilla throw? Great instruments, but that's nothing I want to have to deal with when spending close to 1k or more.
A general observation... Why do the room mics usually sound like crap. Surely that is not how the drums sound to an auditioner in the room or the player (and yes, I called you Shirley).
that Schagerl is absolutely magical. my next snare is absolutely going to be 14x8 brass when i have the dough to cough up lol
Just shy of 1900$$ 😨
@@dustinfont7598 no doubt a very nice snare but that’s over a thousand dollars more than a Dw collectors 14 x 8 brass.
Buying a high end is like a declaration of ones ability to play music often enough that the ear can discern quality difference
The Anteres is absolutely gorgeous.
Great to hear Canopus Mahogany 5.5, alot of deep lows for a snare that size. I was thinking more for delicate jazz stuff but Shane here pounds the crap out of it to wake it up and it sounds great!
Flamed Myrtle sounds absolutely amazing to my ears.

The Canopus mahogany snare!!!
The DX carbon snare....loved it. Nice demo work. I always look forward to your videos!
that last one is something else

So glad you are still loving it Joe!
Cool 😘😎
The Dunnett Classic Dreamtime Copper Gimlet All day, but the DW sounded great at the higher tuning
I love 💕❤️😚☺️😊😘 DW ultimated edge carbon fiber 14x5.5 snare drum
they were all awesome
Both Dunnetts were my favorites
Same. They sounded extremely good to me.
The Schagerl had a helluva pop and big sound, deeep drum
The Dunnett myrtle has that phatback which I associate with my Ludwig snares. Love it!
A great example of why these folks are TOP notch! 💯 🥁 A DCP customer always
Thanks so much Al!!
@@drumcenternh Thank YOU!
The first Dunnett! I liked the lower tuning.
I like them ALL! Mainly in the high tune!! Great demonstration, Shane!!!
The drum I liked the best was the bass drum. That "thump" was heart stopping. As far as the snare drums go, by a nose I liked the DW Carbon Fiber best. I could see that drum being perfect no matter the music style(s) being played for the night. Nice playing Shane.
I used to love that schagerl copper you guys used to have. Should try to get another one of those in stock. I've got too many brass snares! Lol
Brass just works for everything. I have been trying to get a copper snare for a while but always end up buying a brass snare lol
@@thesneakygamer4343 seriously. It is such a great all around snare material. But I find myself searching for interesting/ unique snare sounds lately. The schagerl copper was so good. This brass is great, too, though.
You guys need to check out Drum Pickers out of Nashville. Excellent snares and sets.

The Schagerl and the DW sound awesome! Not a fan of wood, but those other 2 were decent as well…
N0ice! Can you make a video playing your 10 favorite ping ride cymbals?
Thanks for the wonderful content
I've had my eye on that canopus mahogany for awhile...
Really liked them all, but that Schagerl brass one was killer. That price, though...
Hey Sean, about 10 + years ago you had a snare drum tuning video where you kept the bottom head tight, and just adjusted the top head. Do you still tune that way?
Sean still does it this way
What do y'all think of Porkpie? I picked up a 13" Oak and love it.
Bill is a legend.

I like Dunnett, but their sound is different than other manufacturers, subtly, and I'm not sure if it's really what I like for snare drum sounds. Cool drums though, no doubt.
Does Schagerl make a shallower brass snare? I’d love to hear that in a 5.5 or 6.5. Great vid!
What are you mic'ing the snare with? I spy an Audix i5 but what else?
All the mics are listed in the description
I think it's a refreshing breath from the old Bonham fanatic mindset,you know? Pert was over the top to,so was Stewart Copeland,the appice brother's,Aldridge just to name a few
What happened to Sleishman? In my opinion, they were some of the best drums out there.
Schagerl sounds and looks phenomenal, dw for 2nd, Canopus for the 3rd.

Very strange! I sure hope that is not happening on a large scale...
Yeah the last one was crisp and tight I liked it! They all are great though realy
If you don’t like these we have 535 others. 🤣 Something tells me that number is the low estimate.
🤣🤘🏼
Canopus and Schagerl for me, still I don't think I would pay the price of a Schagerl unless I drummed for a living
I think they all sounded great but im not gonna click that link cause they gotta be too much money for my budget right now.
Suggestion- how about a cowbell comparison video. Now that's something in my budget .
I'm serious
The first drum is the one...

1st & Last!...
Great video!
But I'm always wondering why Canopus uses this shitty stale vanilla throw? Great instruments, but that's nothing I want to have to deal with when spending close to 1k or more.
I guess I'm old school. But Ludwig snares to me are the best there is
This list isn't complete without the DW concrete snare
