Brass, Copper and Bronze Snare Drums 

In this video I show you some of my favorite brass, copper and bronze snare drums. First I talk a little about each drum and then I demonstrate each snare on the drum set.
Besides the drums that I showed you and demonstrated in the previous Black Beauty video these are the metal drums I use the most. They all have a unique sound and work well for specific types of music.
Included drums with their demo times are:
