SHANE! You and your crew - always such professional work. Having DCP represent my products in the way you do and for as long as you have - it is truly humbling. That goes not just for me, but for all the drummers that have been properly introduced to the products I make through you. Every time you sell one of my drums, I know because I invariable get an email from a very, very happy new Dunnett owner. My love and appreciation going out to you, Tony, all at DCP and of course my brothers and sisters in the drumming community. Please - stay healthy!
Ron, as a longtime drummer and an even bigger audiophile, I just wanna say that the passion and care you put into your drums is second to none. I just wish i could afford more of them! Cheers to your hard work brother!
Another great video. this is exactly what I would have wanted, continuous loop, same beat, same mics, A/B/C comparo. Nicely done guys. You are the best in the business. My comments: 1) All Dunnett Snares are amazing. There is really no one making better pallette of high quality exotic metal drums with such a unique and comprehensive tonal spectrum. -besides the amazing craftsmanship in the seam welding/finishing, the uniques bearing edges, and the amazing strainer, the other things I have noted about Dunnetts that are unique are a) shells are often slightly undersized, giving a more tympani like seating of the head to the rim b) 8 lugs not 10, with flanged rims - altogether LOW MASS hardware 2) Ronn also makes a great wood drum. Who knew? 3) I currently own 14 different Dunnett drums. Four of my favorites that you did not demo are: a) 8" tubouliion titanium b) natural raw brass 2N c) Magnesium d) Dunnett/Ludwig Chief Titanium 4) I just ordered a drum with an Inconel shell made by Ronn. That's the most exotic I have seen. Can't wait to play it 3) I agree the stainless is magnificent, in this video I like that the best . I agree the triple brass sounds great but not as "unique" to Dunnett IMHO. 4) my favorite Dunnett is my 6.5X14 magnesium (which you sold me about 3 years ago) 5) The surprise to me (and of course the one I don't have) is the aluminum 2N. Aluminum drums are so "all over the map". While I like the Ludwig Acrolite and of course the LM402 and the Starphonic, I find aluminum thin shells often have a dissonant hollow ping (think Larry Mullen Jr.) Just not for me. My favorite is the trick Kodiak. This one is a condender. 5) titanium rules. The tonal properties of titanium (full spectrum sound, dry, round) are just right for my ear. And that's my last comment. We all need to find our own sound, there is no right answer!! Thanks again for a great video Mofo
@@dunnettclassicdrums Thanks !, I´d say that from all the top snare drums that I own (and they are many amazing snare drums from many brands) . Dunnet has the best price/quality rate by far . What an amazing piece of art and killer sound . If I were a famous drummer my snare drum choice would be Dunnet.
The classic straight wall stainless is my favorite. Crack, body with just a little overtone that gets out of the way. I’ll be hitting DCP up for one of these soon!
As soon as I see your vids I run to find my headphones. Always high quality stuff. My least favourite was the titanium, although I wouldn’t kick any out of bed.
I heard the titanium 6 1/2 x 14 years ago. I never heard of the company before that, and realize they made the greatest sounding snare drum of all time. Every one of the snare drum few showed what is the pinnacle of snare sound. Every time I watch this video I pick a new favorite. LOL. But the triple brass is heavenly. Keep up the good work guys!
1) titanium 2) aluminum 3) carbon steel I like how the drummer is like a machine playing pretty much the same pattern and voicings through all the snares! That makes it so much more fluid and easier to hear the sonic differences! I'm surprised how many shootouts DON"T DO THAT....8*P
All sound great, but I do have to give it to the Triple Brass. And not going to say "Yikes" because I don't want to incite negative responses like last time, but I will say that I know how much work goes into shooting this much material (and all the post production). Your hard work, especially in this craziness we're living now, is greatly appreciated.
You guys are just amazing, thank you for doing so much for the drumming community. I’m in the UK, and would buy from you only that the import taxes are insane.
I got my 2N Bronze Gergo Borlai from you guys a few years ago. Made some changes to it (went to 20 strand from the 42, changed both stock heads, took the hypervent and badge off) and it rips. I consistently get the “dude that snare is dope, what is it?!” whenever I play it. If I had to keep one metal drum, this would be it. Love it!
Well I ain’t going out tonight. So it’s the 8 o’clock feature presentation from our good friends at Drum Center Portsmouth. I like the Bronze. Hmm.....do I NEED another snare?
the straight wall stainless steel is my favorite. to me it is still the benchmark and the best sounding of the bunch. make no mistake. i think they all sound fantastic, but that straight wall stainless steel is something.
Loved this one!!! I am the proud owner of a few of these snares - a 2N stainless, a 2N modeling aluminum, a Borlai bronze, and a Monoply Maple. A titanium is on the way (ordered from DCOP), and that will make 5! Love them all. Got to meet Ronn a while back, and he was so willing to talk about snare design and options. Learned a lot that day. I hope to, someday, make it an even half-dozen. Have my eye on the COB …. So many great choices!!!
I loves me a steel snare drum!! The Supralite is still my favorite, especially with 42 strands, even more than the Black Beauty, even more than the A&F! And other steel snares always impress me too. I think people will come around eventually.
Everyone of them is a head turner but the 2N Chrome Over Brass, Steel and Aluminum were just extra special. And the Dunnett throw off is itself a mechanical work of art!
Well it's about time! I was waiting for this one and knew it would eventually happen. I feel much the same as Shane does, in that the first time I experienced Dunnett it was a fascinating revelation! Dunnett is my undisputed go to brand. You have to play one to get the full experience. The sensitivity and playability is like no others! I have to have them all....but if I could only choose one it would be from the Kore line. A bit more rare and I think quite labour intensive to produce but it's the ultimate for me. Apart from that you can't go wrong with the straight shell stainless, as an all round, one stop drum. Another that is a bit of a sleeper is the magnificent Magnesium! Having played and owned the straight wall and beaded shell drums I actually prefer the straight wall a bit more. I completely understand and appreciate Ronn's original theories on drums. he had it right in the first place but market demand brought forth all the evolutionary models we see. It's a great thing though. I've never, ever been disappointed in a Dunnett, and I'm as fussy as they come! Cheers and Happy Easter to everyone!
The beginning story about playing a SS and realizing that you had to have it.... same happened to me in 2013. Been very happy with my SS for 7 years :)
I have the Gergo sig model, absolutely love it....except the snare wires are popping off. The snare wires are a little on the cheap side. I’m currently looking to replace them. The aluminum one sounds great too.
Make sure that you have the key screws in the correct sides - the short ones go in the butt end and the long ones go in the throw off side. If you mix them up the butt end doesn't fully engage. If that doesn't fix the issue please send me an email - I am always available to help. The Dunnett 42 strand snare wires are the best ones I can make. Bronze tail pieces and high carbon steel wires.
dunnettclassicdrums Ron, good to hear from you. The snares are installed correctly, it’s not the mechanism that holds the snare wires on it’s the actual wires breaking. I haven’t adjusted the tension since I’ve had the drum, (Sept ‘19), it arrived perfect. They don’t seem like they’re on too tight. I appreciate your willingness to stand behind your product publicly. I love this drum man, I really do. The snare wires breaking are kind of a bummer though.
These are truly great snares man. Jason Bonham used the titamium model on the whole California Breed album. Such a fat tone and very open. I was thinking of getting one, but I am very connected to my Ludwig 402 and Black Beauty snares. I might do it one day though.
I've found with the quick release snare system that under too much snare tension they seem to pop loose. Have you had this same problem and if so has there been a way to mitigate this ?
Really interesting set of sounds with those snares. Never really been into Dunnett, but I think their distinct sound is sharp, short, and articulate. Really liked the 2N Triple Brass, definitely caught my attention when I was watching the video. Once again, really enjoyed the video!
They all have their own ‘honk’. Any of the first 4 but I prefer the dark bronze throaty tone. Please consider a mahogany shootout some day....traps or snare
Wow! i love the low tone! When I think of a great low snare, I can't help but the think Van Halen - "Poundcake". Since that song came out I've always loved low tone snares. Funny how this Dunnett variety sounds pretty much the same. If I had to choose, I'd say the Aluminum or High Carbon Steel sounded the best. Funny that you guys said the last Brass snare sounded best. I thought it sounded the least good. I could hear a ring-y overtone that was a bit annoying.
That 2N Triple Brass is the best among the best....but there's not a bad drum in the lot. Every one of these are spectacular. And, I was surprised at the price (as far as Reverb goes). In a day and age when you can spend $1500+ on a boutique snare, these come in at $1K, which I'd never thought I'd say is *relatively* affordable. For those who haven't see it Ruben Spyker has a really good video comparing models as well. Sounds like Dunnett has cracked the code, as they say. Everything he touches sounds incredible. Can't wait to hear the carbon-fiber snares.
What are you micing the kick with? Really cuts through on a phone speaker. I own an almost vintage now, Dunnett stainless that always wins the what snare should we use question.
Drum Center of Portsmouth it will be passed down as many generations as it can go! My dad bought it for me a month before he passed away and signed the inside. Sonically it’s the best snare I’ve ever heard, but it’s also my favorite for many other reasons! I appreciate you guys being a part of that memory.
Zach - I agree with you 100%. Years ago when I made one for Kevin Shepard who used it to record some Zoo Story tracks. I didn't quite understand what he was shooting for until I heard the recording - posting a link below this reply.
I thought the classic stainless wouldn’t be topped, but that triple brass is something else. Ugh, just when I thought I was done with snares after getting a vintage Sonor.
I agree that 2N Trip Brass is tight. So much depends on tuning, room acoustics, mics, etc... but from what I just heard, I just said the same thing when you guys echoed my thought....scary actually, get out of my head! ...Secretly I loved that Classic Stainless Steel too ;-)
It's difficult to tell from a video, and recorded sound is always a little different from live sound, but I think I like the classic stainless steel the best. It seemed to be right in the middle in terms of ringiness - controlled, but not as dry as the titanium. I love the titanium's natural color, so I wanted to like it the most, but I think the SS topped it. What I didn't like was the Gergo Borlai bronze. It had a persistent, somewhat unpleasant ring that sounded like background hum. That and the 2N high carbon steel were my least favorite. The brass snares were a little ringier than I like, but the timbre of the ring was better than that of the 2N stainless steel. 1. Classic stainless steel 2. Classic titanium 3. 2N modeling aluminum 4. 2N COB 5. 2N triple brass 6. 2N stainless steel 7. 2N high carbon steel 8. 2N Gergo Borlai bronze 2 and 3 were very close, as were 5 and 6. I'd probably change my rankings if I heard them live.
You have great ears! While this demo is exceptional, the only perfect way to assess a Dunnett is in person, but this is still a solid starting point. BTW, I am posting a link to a video of Gergo playing his Model 2N Bronze. I think you might change your mind...posting below this comment.
Yup. The cleanest and most distinct of the bunch. Surprised more people didn't go for it. Titanium, Magnesium and Bell Bronze are materials on a league of their own.
These videos are great, but nothing really replaces playing these drums in real life. I just got a Classic Stainless 6.5, and unless you get to really play it, tune it, explore its sound in person, its difficult to really understand all the mojo that these snares have.
I was least impressed by the titanium snare. It sounded choked to me. Maybe it was tuned too high? I liked the snare that had the red lug washers, whatever one that was.
i love your videos but to often you dont talk about the most important thing after the sound... the price! that makes the difference between getting it and just dream about it 😅

Triple Brass had an INCREDIBLE rimshot sound. Full bodied and bright at the same time. Love it

The monoply maple is one of my favorites of his but the titanium is super versatile for a metal snare. Love the content yet again!
Monoply Maple is killer!
Yeahh , the monoply sounds killer , warm sound.
Really like the snap of the modeling aluminum.
I have two Dunnett snares, a 14" x 6.5" 2N and a 14" x 8" Classic. They are simply awesome snares - everyone needs to play one at some point.

The A&F Bell Steel is UNREAL.
I can't believe the steel sounds so good. I always thought of that metal as beginner snare material.
TITANIUM...WOW 👍🏿
This is how you should film all comparisons. Much easier for the listener/customer.
Aluminum👍

What are you micing the kick with? Really cuts through on a phone speaker. I own an almost vintage now, Dunnett stainless that always wins the what snare should we use question.
Aluminum is the one, has that beautiful pop. Stainless steel is a close second although they all sound great in their own way!

Which snare drum did you use in the intro of every video? This snare sounds so good!
14x6.5 Classic Stainless.
I have too buy some gorgeousness
To me the classic stainless without the bead is the best of the bunch
Nice work once again. I like the metal one.
Loving that carbon steel. Has a nice crack.
I still like the Titanium best because of it's low end and fewer high end overtones.
Yup. The cleanest and most distinct of the bunch. Surprised more people didn't go for it. Titanium, Magnesium and Bell Bronze are materials on a league of their own.
COB! 🤩
yip just magic, draws you in perfect otones
the carbon steel has a focused density
Classic stainless steel ...hell yes!
I'll take the bronze snare any day!
Triple brass or the plain stainless steelsnare drum sounded the best to me....
My titanium is killer....
Mine too !!!!!!!!
Mine three!
😎👍🇨🇦🇺🇸🥁My first Dunnett was a custom Titanium & I haven't looked back. Ronn knows what he's doing!
Thanks Matt! That was a long time ago!

No, thank you Ronn! @ my high
point I had 14 of ur drums... now it's down to 8.
The Dunnett one was the best
Steel, either
Me gustan todos!!!!!! 😂
These videos are great, but nothing really replaces playing these drums in real life. I just got a Classic Stainless 6.5, and unless you get to really play it, tune it, explore its sound in person, its difficult to really understand all the mojo that these snares have.
Classic stainless steel was my favorite.
chrome over brass - titanium - bronze - aluminium - steel - carbon steel
I was least impressed by the titanium snare. It sounded choked to me. Maybe it was tuned too high? I liked the snare that had the red lug washers, whatever one that was.
i love your videos but to often you dont talk about the most important thing after the sound... the price! that makes the difference between getting it and just dream about it 😅
🇨🇦
Yay!
I love Dunnett snare drums, I just wish they weren’t as expensive. $1,000 for a snare drum, wow 😂
It’s the price you pay for high end quality!
Bronze blows them all away…
The aluminum owns very robust
