There may be some processing going on but man I gotta laugh! I have the Gretsch bb and a few other 3mm and 3.5.3 snares and as much as I woukd love to have the Tama 50th it just seems ridiculous to blow 4grand on a unicorn snare. Processing or not they freaking sound the same to me and to top it off if your going for your dream unicorn snare sound in the studio you can just have the engineer use a sample im mean thats what most of them are doing anyways , its really all about bragging rights now I have it and you dont haha😂 I can think of alot better ways to invest 4 thousand freaking dollars. Stop chasing the unicorn and just play!
yea, I agree, love how the gretsch sounds. Im a Tama boy, and I bought the "unicorn", not for braghing rights but because I was so curious and I got it fairly cheap as showroom model. I love it so much that I sold pretty much all my other snares by now ... but I really have to say: the Gretsch sounds just great, even a little fatter and drier than the Tama. Paying double or even triple the money is clearly not worth it. By the way: processing is not very high, there is EQ, slight compression on single channels and that it. its just the stereo sum of my Allan & Heath CQ20B.
@simongrossjohann yea I'm a tama dude myself my first kit was a Tama over 30 years ago and I've owned quite a few Tama's sense including some really great limited addition snares. I own quite a few different kits now in my arsenal all the usual suspects ludwig gretsch dw but I still have two starclassic's in the arsenal I go between, a full bubinga kit and one of the newer walnut birch kits and I must say Tama has always inspired me there's just something about em😏 at some point I'll probably pick up one of those unicorns up sense there in production there floating around here in Los Angeles and surrounding areas. You must admit though that darn snare is the apple of ever drummers eye right now😆
Tama!
