Shallow VS Deep Snare????

Hey guy and girls this week im showing the difference between shallow and deep snare drums. There is no better or worse they're just different. I go through the different sounds high and low tuning and also the difference in rim shots and standard hits with the drumsticks. The two snares are a Vinnie Paul Pearl signature snare drum 14x8 and a Drumcaft series 8 14x4 both are maple snare drums.

Sounds like the preamp was clipping

[@BrendrumJones]

Yeah I made a mess of the audio, not great

[@ryekani1]

Perfect demonstration; great comparison. Thanks for the informative content.

[@BrendrumJones]

Cheers, Thanks for saying so

In my experience, deep snares have more depth and are punchier. Shallow snares sound a bit more papery and harsh. Both have their applications. When I played in a punk band our drummer used to play a 13x6.5” snare and it was fantastic.

I use deep shell ... the way I look at it with the sounds is like vocals, the shallow is more of a head voice where as the deep is a guttural to chest voice! Much better control on deep shell then shallow especially in metal which is my preferred music and having that control especially for tom beats or fills

[@BrendrumJones]

yeah i totally agree, good analogy. There so much more control from deeper drums. Thanks for the comment and letting me know your thoughts, chat soon Brendan

When I heard chon's album, "Chon" I couldn't think how you'd be able to get the sound from a shallow snare. I knew it had to be deeper.
Its cranked up high but it's still got a deep sound. I love it.
Thanks for the vid

[@BrendrumJones]

No worries im glad you liked it

[@brent3760]

A better comparison would be same heads, same model drum, just different sizes.

[@BrendrumJones]

cool

Another fellow drumcraft owner! I also own a drumcraft series 7 kit and itso ne of the best sounding kits I've played. Its a shame drumcraft as a company don't exist anymore

[@BrendrumJones]

Hey Jack, cool, i got the series 8 its limited edition finish back in 2010, scottish burst. i love their drums wasnt a big fan of their hardware, but it always came with the drum kit so no complaints. I didnt know they their out business, do you know what happened? when did it happen?

[@jackstraughan]

@@BrendrumJones I'm not sure when they went out exactly but probably over a year ago maybe? But the guy who I buy my drums off was close to drumcraft and he said they close the business and invested and became apart of DW drums.
I wasn't keen on the hardware myself, I now use DW 5000 & 9000 hardware. I can see that drumcraft tried to copy DW hardware but made a cheaper version. Drumcraft hardware worked but its got nothing on the likes of DW and Gibraltar

[@BrendrumJones]

@@jackstraughan ahh cool, hey thanks for letting me know Jack, well we have a piece of history now.

[@chriskroutil1518]

[@BrendrumJones]

You’re welcome

[@FrehleyFan3988]

I'm trying to make mine sound as loud as eric carrs drums he used in creature's of the night. Done nothing but breaking drumsticks and covers, because I smash them so hard

[@BrendrumJones]

cool

[@Zareke]

damn, what a jawline

[@BrendrumJones]

LOL

[@peterhillman8282]

Different pitch and distortion. Can't really tell.

[@BrendrumJones]

Agreed, i made a balls of the recording, i half thinking of taking it down

[@electrosonicnebula]

Flawless video, very well done and useful. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@BrendrumJones]

Thanks for saying so, chat again

[@visionlandmusic]

The deeper snare is tuned higher!

[@log1kanobi]

helpful video ! but i’d suggest working on the right hand pulsing in the closed rolls ✌🏼

[@usethevideoluke983]

Why there is distortion

[@BrendrumJones]

Cause i fucked up the recording

[@GuitarP0RN]

No sound

[@kaybhee6]

honky 800 hz too much on fatter drum
