Love the 42 strand that comes with the slp Black brass. Such a fat beautiful sound yet super responsive and dynamic as well as having volume and a fat punch when you want it to. Can tune it up and have it crack like a firecracker or tune it lower and give it that beefy fat sound.
Spirituality1980 Basically the ones with the gold end plates are less bright and more dark and they feel and sound like Puresound Custom or Blasters. I can’t hear a difference between the ones that have Starclassic or Tama on the end plates. I have the 42 strand on two of my Tama snares and they are nice and fat sounding.
Changing snares is typically a matter of detail. The material is marginal most of the time. The shape of the wire and number of strands makes the bigger differences (which is why the last one and the 42s stand out).
Wouldn't it be better to hear only the bottom mic comparison, not both at the same time, at some point of the video in order to listen to those different tones in more detail?
What are the best heads to put on a Metal Works Nickel Plated black steel 6 1/2x 14. I need new reso and batter, i play punk music so I guess your beat "rock" heads.
1thess523 Try a Remo Ambassador Hazy and a Remo Control Sound Coated. If you need more dampening just use a small piece of Moongel. Those stretchy HANDS in the toy section of stores is the same material as Moongel. $1 and you’ll have enough “Moongel” for 10 snares easily.
@@robsco1249I just got a Starclassic Maple snare and the Tama Starclassic Bronze snares were installed. I would say they’re darker than the MS20RL14C and not quite as sensitive. I might try the MS20RL14C on the Maple snare and install the Bronze wires on a Bubinga snare.
@@Assimilator702 I now have puresound 20 custom pro bronze on a Yamaha stage custom steel 14*6,5 and the custom pro from the standard makes a difference. They are really great. I will try the steel custom pro 20 in the future. Puresound are the best, lot of sensitivity. The tama snarewire on my starphonic aluminium isn't as good.
@@robsco1249 In my experience I prefer the Tama wires on all my snares. I have a set of Puresounds on my Gretch Bell Brass, my Yamaha Recording Custom Aluminum and an older Tama Artwood Heavy Birch snare. Other than that Tama on everything else. Do you use that quick release strap system that Puresound now pushes with their new wires?
@@Assimilator702 it should be loud, full,resonant should have a rimshot that allmost sounds like a gunshot ( alot of crack) but it also should be very very sensitive and should have a very sensitive snare wire response

I honestly couldn't hear almost any difference. Just minute. But that's just me.
Spirituality1980 the last one sounds different than the rest. Notably less buzzy and harsh. My favorite one.

Love Tama. 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
Always Tama.
Bell brass, easily. Thanks for the comparison video
May I ask what tunning you used on top and bottom head.?
Gran bel lavoro Dave..

Almost no one gets the bottom head sound without the top. Context is important.
What are the best heads to put on a Metal Works Nickel Plated black steel 6 1/2x 14. I need new reso and batter, i play punk music so I guess your beat "rock" heads.
Remo powerstroke 77 coated or Evans genera hd dry, but its all up to personal preference.
Pinstripe clear... Not trendy but actually very good on snare if you want a fat old school sound. I play metal and I love it.

Remo cybermax as batter.. remo diplomate reso
Considering they all sound very close I will buy looking at the chart...MS20RL14C seems the best one...or even MS12R14S
Overall I would say the MS20RL14C are the best. MS20SN14C right next to it but they’re more expensive in certain shops.
@@Assimilator702 I recently buyed a 24 and a 20 puresound and they are great especially the 20. In the future I want to try the bronze version.

1. i couldnt hear any difference secondly the snare has a weird singing tone third the snare sounds very cheap
They were all the same drum...
There was nothing “cheap” sounding about the snare. It sounds like a well tuned snare with minimal post production processing.
@@Assimilator702 thats your opinion
@DavidKrautscheid Ok so what do you think a "good" sounding snare sounds like?
