Thanks

Very good! What drumheads are you using?

The Uad Apollo definitely lacked nuance in the mid range and top end. Focusrite ISA had less bottom than the 710, but the clarity in the top end and mid transients is beautiful. More Balanced. ISA was my favourite. Id go fo maybe the 710 for kicks, but the rest ISA One. I love thicker, deeper kick drums as a Hip Hop head.

This oak custom snare is the best wood snare I’ve ever ever heard😊

Great playing.

Great shootout, thanks! All of them have pros and cons, and there is no one universal answer for every snare drum, tuning, play style, etc. but really informative hearing things like this!

Do the isa428 go through the apollo a/d converter?

Dude your hired🤖🗽👍

Great sound on high tuning

Very nice

nice groove

I'll be doing a similar test, but then with the ISA 828 MKI. Can't wait😎

very nice sound, congrats!

Very good drummer there!

I have a 710 so the UA is for me. I am looking at a couple of Ua 4 channel interfaces but the money is huge for a solo studio .

Good drummer

Cool video!

Wow. I just bought one of these thanks to your wonderful demo. Wow too all tunings and to your skilled hands brother!. THe only question I have is are those the stock 20 strand snares that come with it?

What's the difference with the new heritage aluminium snare?

Great video!

Great video and playing!! Subbed

First of all, nice playing! I found certain things that I liked a lot about each of the preamps, (and nothing that I didn’t like); for example, I love the saturation of the UA Tube, particularly on the kick drum, but, I also loved the Focusrite ISA for the way it’s able to capture finer sonic details and nuances, and in that way, I’d consider it to be great for the “esoterica” of an instrument/voice performance. Truth be told, you couldn’t go wrong with any of these preamps; you’d get fantastic, pro-caliber recording quality with ANY of them. I wouldn’t consider one to be any “better” than the others, they’re all just a bit different…but the sonic quality of all of them is great. For me, it would probably come down to their features… As an owner of Focusrite ISA’s, I love how versatile they are, and in the features they have…things like inserts for processing while tracking (which can be set for either pre or post), selectable impedances (great for ribbon mics), and, with its whopping 80db of available gain, it offers outstanding headroom for ribbons and low output dynamic mics. But again, I’d be MORE than happy to use ANY of these high quality preamps for recording. IMO. 🙏

Awesome demo...snare and drumming sound great!

Thanks

Excelente sonido! Fue pasado por compression y gate oh asi directo de los pre's?

Hot drums 🔥🔥🔥🔥

wow. the ISA by a country mile!

Pearl makes good products...i especially like their fit and finish...its flawless. no spot is overlooked...i have a yamaha maple custom kit which i adore...and a second snare is a pearl 5x14 free floating...im not crazy about its sound compared to my yamaha...but the plating on the pearl is fine and flawless...even though the maple customs were yamahas flagship when i bought em in late 90s...and they look and sound everybit of the $$$$ i paid for em new! im thinking of getting an aluminum ludwig lm 400 or 402...acrolite even...but i love the sound of the pearl in this demo...good job...i might consider it over the $750+ for the ludwig supra or acros... thanks for the video!! The new sensitone aluminums such as this one will become available for me in september 2021 and for 1/2 the price of ludwigs so i will strongly consider it for sure!!!

great playing. great sounds. both sound really nice. just different flavors.

Hey! I have the Apollo 8P and I wanted to know would I hear much of a difference if I were to use other high end preamps? Would it be different from the Apollo?

Thanks, love the sound of this snare ! 👍

Awesome comparison....Thank you.

410

First of all great playing, great sound and thank you for this video. Very helpful to me and surely many more. 🙌🏻 For the overall package, the Apollo is hard to beat but the ISA sounded the best to me. The others is not far behind, though. 😉

Excellent playing, Dude!

I'll give you a buck-fifty for that kit, Isaac! :-P LOL Sounds amazing, amigo. Good Stuff.

Nice demo, Isaac! What batter head are you using...the standard Ambassador coated? The only other thing that I always like to hear in a demo is the cross-stick/side-stick sound, but i realize it adds a lot more time to each demo. I picked one of these up a few years ago brand new for a steal and love it as well. Swapped out the mediocre throw-off/strainer for a better Pearl SR-150 and couldn't be happier. That '76 Ludwig floor tom and kick drum sound beefy as well. Nice work.

Can’t wait to get mine. What a great demonstration. Thank you sir!

Really appreciate the raw recording of the drum at different tunings. I’m working with mine almost daily to find the sounds you are getting. Would like to talk head selection and tuning techniques. How can we connect if your willing to?

Right off the bat it sounded like you were playing Rosanna by Toto. That fill. ISA sounds great

They all sound great. The biggest difference I hear is crisper transients on the ISA.

Great video! Thanks! I too have a 4-710d Apollo along with wa412 and wa273 preamps. My stereo OHs are km184s and I traditionally ran them through the 4-710d with about 60/40 tube/trans. Really punchy and powerful while smoothing out the high end and punching the toms and snare in the mids. Also hit everything with the slow attack about 3db on the 1176 circuit. Almost too punchy and aggressive for some stuff but really great overall. Now that I have the wa412 it’s a cleaner faster transient option that would be similar to the Apollo pres or the isa428. They’re all great! Cheers

Isa the best in drums, natural powerfull , i am a drum player and the other preamps are not soo good on percussion and chimballs

For me ISA's take the cake. I thought they sounded the tightest and fullest overall, it was especially noticeable in the kick

About the Apollo 8.. did you tracked with a plug in or clean? I guess clean.. but asking anyway

Bro you are a sick drummer.

Hey there!! Just subbed to your channel. Why don’t you use smzeus . c o m to promote your videos?

Keep the. Content comin 😀
