Can't beat the Pearl Sensitone Elite line for price, quality and sound!
Great comparison! That Joyful Noise sounded great. I wish u included the Pork Pie BOB.
Ill take one of each please!
I loved them all ❤
Sensitone...hands down. All day long and twice on Sundays.
Also, the Pork Pie Big Black (Bob) should have been included here. Great sounding NoB snare at a ridiculous price.
If I don’t want to spend the cash on a black beauty- Pearl sensitone or pork pie?
@@219Dave If you really want The Black Beauty sound on a budget, then check out Ludwig's own Black Magic. It's their Asian-made clone of The Black Beauty. The Sensitone and Pork Pie are both great sounding snares, but they have their own thing going. Check out this shootout between various Ludwig snares. If you can hear $400 worth of difference between The Black Magic and Black Beauty, then you have FAR better ears than mine.

@@MeTuLHeD Thanks for your prompt response!
Would you recommended the brass snare for hard hitting snare? Since my old snare lugs just broken about 3 lugs and can't find the replacement. And i think i need a new snare drum.
I found out metal snare is more punchy which i like but sometimes i dont really like the ringing sound. Since all my life i just used wood snare drum.
Should i get brass or any other metal snare?
I own a Pearl Sensi- Tone brass, and a 20s Ludwig nickel over brass 6 lug, and I have to say I love both, but lean toward the Ludwig for most liked. I think all the snares you sampled sound great, but the black beauty's price doesn't justify paying for, when I was able to land the NOB Ludwig for $200., and the Pearl, new in the box for a tad over $200. Just my opinion, but great comparison video.
thank you for once in a comparison I've seen, using a tune bot to tune them identically to give a true comparison. Thank you!
Love that Pearl, makes me want to change the head on mine and give another shot!
Wow the Pearl stands out!!!!
I was surprised how little I liked the Black Beauty. My top two were the Pearl Sensitone and the Joyful Noise. Second place to the Ludwig Black Beauty. The COB drums were a very distant last place to me, not enough punch, kind of weak sounding.
It's pretty clear they didn't tune the ludwig properly, though I did like the pearl better too.
@@soundknight agreed I own a Black Beauty now, and it's wonderful! Yes, hard to tune compared to some other more simple drums
They all sound great. I have 5”hammered BB. I’ve wanted 6.5” BB. But I love Pearl fittings. Sensitone 6.5” is my next.
Pearl Sensitone ;-)
...all those Snare,s sounds great...it,s up to the money you will invest about...i think the pearl Snare is a good value. i love this overtones on the Ludwig ;-)
That difference in thickness is showing its muscle a bit in the Sensitone. The Sensitone Elite Brass is 1.5mm thick compared to the Black Beauty's 1.2mm
The Pearl wins hands down! The Pearl sounds fatter and sounds like how a recorded snare sound should sound for rock or pop.
In a full mix do the overtones improve snare tone perception? That’s the real question here. Put a backing track on these and let’s see :-)
God damn that Joyful Noise sounds good
revisiting this a year later I do think the black beauty is the standard here . the pearl has a big fat sound though that's different
Thought 4 was best, 1 close second. The sensitone was way too dry for me, you want a resonant shell to work with. Might have to get one someday
Black Beauty is a bit more lively than the Pearl. More overtones. But to be honest in most (pop) music Studio situations you don't really need those anyway. I love my Supra and my Acrolite and spend a great deal thinking about getting a BB but got the pearl instead. 250 bucks. Great snare.
Great Video btw! But I would have loved to hear the drums with snares off also.
I have the PEARL SENSITONE in phosphor bronze, but might have to look at this brass one as well..
It’s the pick here..
First the drumming and mixing are excellent, pro quality
1) 1 Piece NOB is it for sale?
2) 2 piece NOB is it for sale?
3) The rest...
Would have liked a Ludwig Black Magic Vs Pearl Sensitone clip. They all seem to be trying for that area once occupied by the Pearl Steve Ferrone snare
Above 180hz - Pearl. JN good too with a little dampening.
How would the newish Yamaha recording custom in brass compare?
Shit.Pearl sensitone in real life sounds better than in this video.
..and it sounds AWESOME on this video! My fave by far.
I closed my eyes and listened... Pearl won.
I wanna dislike cause of how good all the snares sound, but i can't! Lol
Hi just checkin this out now...... at the beginning of vid, what is the second snare starting 0:53 thanks
That pearl sems to be muffled some how, way more controlled than the other. It have a diferent snare head on it?
Maybe those big lugs make some kind of little diference.
Where can one buy a 1920s NOB 2-Piece 6.5 Pearl Sensitone?
Love the joyful noise and the black beauty Perfect amount of ring . The pearl Sensitone too flat and dry for me and no sustain
Tune the drums and let's try again!
Why are you tuning the reso to 380, which is between F# and G?
Joyful
4:32 4:38
Sensitone for sure……
The Joyful Noise TKO is quite underwhelming for it's price...
I honestly thought the BB was the worst sounding of all of them. Very overrated snare drum and definitely not worth $600 with Ludwig's crappy QC. Go with the Pearl Sensitone or even a Pork Pie/WorldMax snare. Same sound for half the price.
600USD is easy. In Europe Ludwig wants 1000USD for the BB. The Sensitone 650USD here...
I think it was poorly tuned
BB
Sensitone sounded kind of cheap and deadened. The black beauty and the joyful noise sounded really close. The vintage snares had the most character IMO. And that 2 piece… mannnnn. I might buy one after watching this
Your mom was cheap and deadened. Pearl for the win.
Shoddy tuning job on that Ludwig and terrible recordings all around.
180hz is quite low, i have my snares @ tune bot 300 hz or drum dial 90 tension which is about the same.
Wow, that Pearl sounds dead compared to the rest.
Nice try.
