8" deep snare drum demo

I a-b-c'ed my 8" deep snares, thought it would be interesting.

Nice. I really dig the aluminum. The maple has a great rim click.

GC, that was a great showcase of your 8" snares! I really liked the way you presented them, using various styles. I honestly assumed, (makes and ass outa me) that the Maple would be more woody. Maybe it's just the laptop speakers being crappy. I loved the Carbon Fiber . I've only heard a few and IMO, it sounded the best of the three. All of them sounded great though. Thanks for that man, I really enjoyed it.

It's interesting Beak how we all have different tastes isn't it? These kind of posts make for good examples of that. Good to see ya Bro. Not to steal the thread, but we need to get another Skype call in. Hell GC, you should join us. They really are quite humorous. Actually, everyone's invited. Jump in with us sometime GC. OK, I'm finished and will shut up. Back to the snares..............

Pt1

the CF snare had a PVC like formant - I didn't like this

the aluminum had a similar artifact only lower - not as objectionable but distracting anyway

At the heads they all sounded good.

the aluminum sounded the most organic (condition of the head? lol) but threatened to blat.

Pt2

maple, got lost in the din

CF also lost - BTW is the strainer broken?

Aluminum - hands down present and accounted for. Had the tone for the stuff you did.

CF strainer not broken. It's one of the new DW throws with the adjustable butt.

I really liked the aluminum too, very good comparison

Aluminum

The rest sound good too, but the aluminum sounds great...
