My 2 best sounding snares. A 3 year old Black Beauty, the brass on brass millennium model. The one with the solid brass die cast hoops top and bottom and the brass tube lugs....and...
A new Guru snare drum that I secretly got a few months ago. I haven't mentioned it formally until now. (I'm wearing a tuxedo) It's a yummy 14 x 7 steambent ash In-Tense drum with a regular die cast hoop on the top and a 2.3 mm bottom hoop. I use the same Puresound wires on both drums. I tuned them both as close as I could get them. They are essentially headed the same, but... the Ludwig has a well worn coated Emp over ambassador snare side vs a much newer by comparison coated G2 over Hazy 300 on the Guru.
On the recording the Ludwig is drum A and the Guru is drum B. I was going to make it a guessing game out of it but decided to do a straight up comparison so you can hear for yourself the difference between a Guru snare and a universally beloved snare drum. That didn't come out as intended lol. It's something that you won't get on Andy's vids.
There's a noticeable sonic difference. It's a quick and dirty recording, 1 take, done with a handheld Olympus LS11
Even though you can hear the difference on laptop speakers, use headphones if you can.
