Hey guys, fun fact... the intro, outro, and transitions are me grooving over a loop with the Phosphor Bronze model. Sounds pretty killin if you ask me!
This shootout is awesome and very well done! Definitely feeling the Phosphor Bronze after this...
Can somebody tell me what head is he using on this comparison and all the other videos ?
@pop Gamer
Steel is probably the loudest for rock music.
Gretsch Brooklyn Chrome Over Steel is very good for that.
I agree
Sounds amazing Austin.
Dear everyone that's going to make a drum shoot-out youtube video... This video right here is your template on how to do it right.
No no. 1) use only the camera mic 2) at least 5 mins of talking before even showing the snare 3) slight tapping on the edge of the head with the snares off for a solid 2-3 minutes to begin with 4) just one bad tuning.
No doubt
bronze 0:45 - 1:07 - 1:30
brass 1:59 - 2:21 - 2:44
maple 3:13 - 3:36 - 3:59
mahogany 4:28 - 4:50 - 5:14
I put my headphones on for this. Man this was like snare ASMR. I felt chills when it went to the medium tunings.

Phosphor bronze sounded great at each tension. Great video, Austin! Loved the quick cut comparisons. Thank you for making a great demo of these drums. Top notch as always.
still rocking the 1st edt. of that snare.. sounds even better than this newer version :-)
Phosphor bronze at low tuning was incredible. Your mixes are killer, too
Production is off the charts... they all sounded good!
Agreed I love them all in all the tunings given.
Pearl is underrated because very popular , their 14"/5" is one of the best sounding snare of all , (the reference serie and aluminium snare is amazing too !)
Probably the best snare drum review video I've ever seen. Thanks for taking the time to do it right. In different applications they'd all sound amazing but #1 was the 15" med and high for sure then the bronze. One comment would be to not have transition music between the different drums even though I love the intro/outro music. When I'm listening to the different drums I'm trying to keep the sound of the last one in mind, and often times listen with my eyes closed so I can compare and then the music starts with a different snare sound so it kind of erases the memory of the last drum. I could be the only that cares or listens like this so it's obviously not a big deal. Awesome video either way! Thanks
That bronze sounds amazing, and the 15" Mahogany
That's why I own both!
Well, I dropped enough hints that my wife got the Phosphor bronze for me this Christmas. This snare is GOLD. Im not exaggerating when I say I found the snare sound that's been in my head for a long time. Thanks for turning me to it!
Nice!👌🏼
Yeah they all sound good but that was my fav
All of them sound great at medium tuning
The snares are great. Your ideas + techniques about making these videos are phenomenal. Thank you.
The consensus around the bronze confirms my impulse buy yesterday, moments after I heard it. It fills a sonic niche none of my other snares occupied.
Thanks for all your insight /transcriptions and everything else you give the drum community .........your the best !!!!
quite possibly the best produced snare comparison vid around. thank you for doing this!
Excelent job Austin, the quick cuts delivered a true comparison! By the way i love the Brass!
I was getting to drum on my Pearl maple picolo when I got this video notification. Wow! Excellent sound and video. Thank you.
By far the best shootout I have ever seen. Great sound, tuning and of course performance. I actually needed this badly. The phosphorus Bronze is the one that I would go for. They all sound awesome. Also I was never a 14x5 guy, but this changed my views. Thanks for all your creative efforts.
Well done man. The summary comparisons are an added value to this review. The African mahogany drum has a vibe of its own.
Awsome audio, perfect editing, very good skills.
Just a great video.
Awesome comparison video! All of them sound sooooooo good. Incredibly musical drums
Pearl makes some awesome drums. This video is no exception! ! I had a steel shell sensitone I found in peices at a drum shop. I bought it , and the necessary parts to rebuild it. Three days later it was up and playing. I used it for credit towards a kit I've been wanting to get a week later. I miss it a little. Lol
Thank you. Great video, especially with the quick cuts. Makes comparing between the different models so much easier in this virtual world. I really like the Mahogany 15x5.
The best snare drums from Low, Medium, High tuning tips 🎶❤️❤️❤️ I’m a Brass and Maple player, Thanks for the great video shootout !
Great comparison! Thank you for playing the same groove every time and same velocities. It really help in hearing the differences. The quick cuts really did too. 👍👍
Ok the bronze one sounds just amazing. I've been drooling over that for a while and this video didn't help! Good format, keep up the good work.
This really is a phenomenal and helpful comparison video man, thank you for taking the time to do it properly!
My favorite finish is the premium brass, but overall, I gotta give it to the phosphor bronze! That thing sounded fantastic!! I did love the low tuning of the mahogany. Had a big Zeppelin vibe to it!!
Thank you for a fantastic demo ! I actually just bought the phosphor bronze model; tomorrow is my birthday and I get to open the box. After watching this I’m 100% convinced that I made the right choice !
That bronze snare sound sick! And awesome groove!
I have the Phosphor Bronze model, and have gigged with it for some time now. It’s easily my favorite snare drum that I’ve ever owned. Extremely articulate and sounds amazing with a live band.
Always top notch all around Austin! Loved the bronze and mahogany.
Great video and super playing, you make them all sound good. Love all your videos, very informative, well made and well presented, impeccable playing. Well done.
Thanks fo the video,nicely done. All great drums at a VERY AFFORDABLE PRICE RANGE. Been a fan of pearl snares and own a reference kit. There fantastic drums,and the QUALITY is top notch.
One of each will be fine thanks! they all sounded great. Excellent production of the subject thank you! Great Vid!
I just dreamed about this bronze sound, now it’s 5am and I’m watching it again! Hahaha I swear! I need this snare!
all gorgeous sounding drums. i liked the phosphorous bronze best in all tunings. nice job!
Great video! Bronze the best for me
Wow! I love sensitone snares! Great video!!!
They all sound great. I love how warm wooden snares are, but man you just can't beat the CRACK of a well-made metal snare. I have a Tama SLP super Aluminum and I absolutely love it. These snares are all amazing. Pearl did a great job with them.
Brass and Maple catch my ear. Nice Demo. Thanks for not just pounding time with back beat rim shots like other demos.
Awesome work on ur videos thank you!
At high tunings, all sound pretty good, nice 'n funky. The brass has more cut than the bronze, maybe a tad too much for some genres of music. The mahogany is the "softest" of them which should make it a good option e.g. for singer-songwriter stuff. Going down the tuning range, the bronze is somehow ahead of the competition. It sounds a tad more controlled and warmer. Interesting snare. The maple has no real strengths, nor weaknesses. Solid allrounder-workhorse IMHO.
Great compare-video btw. I wish more people would do their snaredrum compares the way you did. Outstanding job.
I really enjoyed how they all sounded to me. Great video!
Love your channel!!! Great video!! Nice playing as always! Bronze sounds class.
They are all AMAZING. But I honestly loved the Maple one the most
Mahogany medium tuned is awesome. Thanks for the video.
Agreed, love the bronze sound all around. Excellent comparison technique! Please do with Ludwig snares.
Great video! Medium is the key here. All shells sound the best there.
All of them sound incredibly sexy in the HIGH tuning for sure but,
That Phosphor Bronze and Premium Maple have the sweetest slap from all 4.
Great vid Austin, thanks for the comparison!
Your mix is very very clear and good...
what a fantastic shootout. Thanks!
Nasty snares, sound, and video! I loved it! Cheers!
The Beaded Phospo Bronze was my favorite. A really good phat metal sound and a nice overtone range at all 3 tensions.
Nicely done Austin!
I thought the mahogany tuned high sounded the best. It had as much snap as the 14's but with a warmth the smaller drums didnt get. That would be fire in a mix (to me, anyway). Makes me want to go spend some money.
fantastic snares
Wooooo weeee! That Phosphor Bronze is givin' me the goose pimps! A clear winner in my opinion!
I want them all! But if I had to pick 1, that pospher bronze is money fo sho! 😍
I have the Beaded Phospor in 6,5 depth, really love it
how comparisons should be done!! a+! i like the phosper bronze. good ring tone. nice crack.
tq so much for this record for this snare...i think i love sounf of firts dan mohagani
1st and 2nd ,in my opinion, is the bests
The bronze and mahogany sounded more deep on the highs' to me. Then on high they all sound pretty snappy-high, but a slight difference., which is surprising, metal isn't much louder to ears. Brass does have a ring, they all sound like studio quality ! It really makes me rethink what I need out of snare if buying one, they all are so unique in sound, but maple always wins.
Así deben ser los videos comparativos! Hechos por alguien que tenga buena técnica y buen sonido! De gran ayuda! Saludos desde México!
The brass has such cutting power and bit of ring ,a little moon gel will do justice!
I’m gonna have to go with medium tune *Mahogany!*
I also appreciate the editing, you actually get to hear the musicality and tonality of each drum in the context.
But yeah, that Mahogany sounds nice, crispy and warm.
Love the BRONZE.
I use it a lot and bought it after seeing this video..
It’s not as loud as the Tama SLP Dynamic Bronze snare, which I have as well ..
Pearl sensitone incredibe sound!!! Thanks
Great Sound Reference. Thank you
Nice video. They are all lovely, The 15" is interesting, lacking a wee bit of articulation in the lower range perhaps. The Brass is superb, Followed by Bronze, The 15" Mahogany & Lastly The Maple. Thanks
Top comparaison !!!!
Great video. Thanks!
The last one is the best!
I have the Mahogany , I love it!
Totally forgot about this video until I bought the mahogany, can’t wait to play it!
All the drums sound great, but I gotta say the Phosphor Bronze is my fav.
Great 👍🏻 Video 🔥
Mahogany med tuning, for sure!
This is a great video
Best comparison vid Eva. Thanks. I love the brass finish and sound. I've always loved the sound of maple. How deep is that African wood.
Cheers again.
Nice Video Austin, The Bronze Sounded Unreal, Just Crisp Beautiful. Next I'd Give It To The Maple, Very Classic Tones. The Brass Comes In Third For Me, Followed By The Mahogany.
Very Informative!!!
The phosphor bronze is, by far, the best one !
Love the look of beaded brass, but the bronze sounds great to me.
These are sick drums!!! And what fantastic review video. First thing I did after watching was check out prices 🤣. Bronze and Mahogany both have that sweet "thock" I want to hear in a snare. 👌
Phosphor bronze low tuning = MONEY
Instantly gave me the desire to want to buy one, sounded amazing.
Agreed. That was by far the best any of these snares sounded in the video. Far and away.
I agree. Its fat and complex at the same time ... love it!
Hi Austin!
Bronze phosphor all the way!
Sounds killing in any given tuning!
#2 would be the Mahogany...must be great for recording for sure!
Maple is blah...nothing to right home about.
The brass one sounded too thin to my ears.
Cheers from Brazil!
15x5 Mahogany was definitely most appealing to me. I've always preferred wood snares over metal though.
They sound pretty good but I'm not that big of a fan of any of them specifically on there own. I feel like they would sound great in a mix though. By the way your drum mix is the best out of all of the other channels out there IMO keep up the amazing content!!!!!!!
This video stuck with me so badly after the first time seeing it, it made me purchase a bronze sensitone a few weeks ago. I had to have it when I saw it was for sale
Best all- around is the Bronze. A real interesting surprise was the 15" Mahogany....so much Mojo!....never heard anything like it.
Really well done. ALUMINUM model?
that bronze sounds soooo good..
the premium maple really sound good
Dude i love how fluent and easy your traditional grip is. Make another study the greats lol. Steve Gadd or something
This is really awesome video!!! DId you mess with tunning with bottom head every time you changed the pitch on the top? if so , how did you changed it? Thanks an advance.
Great video Austin. Is there any specific trick with the tuning because i can't hear too much ring and i really like the sound you get from them. Thanks
Easily the Maple. I have a Sonor chrome shell already..and in the market for a wood shell snare. I still love the free floating snares too. And I tried an aluminium free floater in a shop in Berlin. Soooo responsive, yet warm But for wood....this maple sensi tone is the winner for me. Good attack, warm tones, good fundamental, rich in colour.
