No one does drum reviews and head 2 head like DCP!

@drumcenternh 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much!

@yehudarakia137 10 месяцев назад

The winner of this test is definitely the..... Bass Drum!!!

@dancalabrese3523 10 месяцев назад

In the head-to-head, the Tama, Canopus and British Archer were the best to me. The Archer is a visually beautiful drum. It seems like everything British Drums Company makes is. The head-to head parts of these videos are the best. Another great video from DCP.

@drumcenternh 10 месяцев назад

Thanks as always Dan!

@clayfoster8234 10 месяцев назад

I’ve still yet to hear a BDC drum that I didn’t love.

@jerrysgotapewpew 10 месяцев назад

The only thing I got from this video is that you guys tune the hell out of snare drums and make any of them sound amazing.

@drumcenternh 10 месяцев назад

Very kind of you!

@mitzo4526 10 месяцев назад

That purpleheart was BEAUTIFUL! It was punchy but also bright sounding, absolute dream sound

@EJ-ge4st 10 месяцев назад

One thing I noticed on the soft cedar was the fundamental note is less noticeable with more overtone volume and less volume in general. The dense Purple Heart has more volume, and fundamental note. Cedar is one of the softest woods I’ve worked with, you can poke it with your finger nail and your nail will dig all the way into it so easily like balsa wood. Do it to Hickory and it won’t even leave a scratch no matter how hard you try. The soft wood acts as a vibrational dampener, absorbing the energy from the heads moving. I’m not hating on it though, all the snares have their time and place.

@tygale7173 10 месяцев назад

“If I were a rich man” Etc. the Yew, Milkwood, Canopus Wenge, all delicious sounding!

@szi5443 10 месяцев назад

I'm taking Canopus for sound/value (the cheapest at $899), their brass lug, snare bed and snare wire = great snare

@Ted_Swayinghill 10 месяцев назад

“HE NEED SOME MILK” Perfect timing of the meme 😂

@DrummerGrrrl 10 месяцев назад

Wow! That Canopus snare kicks ass! Beautiful looking, beautiful sound.

@razgriz380 10 месяцев назад

Easily BDC winning out here with the Canopus a close second. The Tama had a great full sound too. The DW, however, really dissapointing.

@tradgrip 10 месяцев назад

Another great video of some amazing instruments! Just a quick note to say that along with the quality production values you folks always bring to the table while making these awesome videos, I really love that you include some humor(!) in them too!! Let's go smell some snare drums! :)

@KippinCollars 8 месяцев назад

What Tama is doing here is introducing the Japanese cedar as a "premium" wood when it's just a normal, plentiful soft wood. It allows them to use it on their lower end drums, but show to buyers that they think of it as a higher end wood by making a $1300 snare out of it. I doubt anyone buys that Tama snare especially at that price. It sounds pretty good on the recording, but it's really hard to tell if it really holds up against a hardwood kit. I have my doubts about it, though, it does look really nice.

@Sabianism 10 месяцев назад

I had a purpleheart DW and I traded it for a 10+6 maple. I could not get it tuned correctly no matter what I did. Don't know if it was out of round or what but the 10+6 blew it out of the water. Dunnett sounded amazing to my ear! Thanks guys

@nobbyhobby2071 10 месяцев назад

Canopus never disappoints!

@edwardx.winston5744 10 месяцев назад

Love the ring of the Japanese cedar. Clear, stable, and not at all what I was expecting.

@scatpack440 10 месяцев назад

IMHO, that DW would have to be my fave, followed closely by the BDC, then the Pearl then Tama. Phenomenal sounding snares

@sebastianfm7337 10 месяцев назад

I really like the Bassdrum sound when directly miked. My favourite snare of those would be the Tama.

@johnkavaudio4695 10 месяцев назад

Really enjoyed the softer woods, especially that Dunnett Milkwood love love lov

@gpouliasis 10 месяцев назад

Ridiculously good sounding snare drums. I'm having a very hard time picking a favorite. Top notch comparison video ofc, but that's a given by now.

@user-lw5wc4fq3u 10 месяцев назад

Love that Archer. Great tone to my ear. Wet/Fat with a Ludwig type overtone.

@soko1450 10 месяцев назад

I’m a simple man. I see a DCP demo video, I hit the like button like it owes me money.

@dragobotica 10 месяцев назад

All of them are just great 😃👍

@Gretsch0997 10 месяцев назад

Canopus for the win, in this video

@dilankarun9172 10 месяцев назад

All great snares. Now about the Hi-Hats, What did you mean "If used properly" they sound great ? What if they aren't used "Properly" ? Think I'll just stick with Zil New Beats, haven't used them "properly" in 30 yrs and still sound great ! Lol 🤣

@user-ds4cw2cr8e 9 месяцев назад

Thank you thank you thank you love everything you guys do

@LarkVsOwl-de3op 7 месяцев назад

While they all sound great, the Purple Heart kick and floor tom are the star of the show. To split the difference of those hating or accepting the piano black finish hiding the Purple Hearts' looks, how about a fat stripe in the piano black that shows off that purple goodness!

@terryhu57 10 месяцев назад

I have a single ply buckeye. Sounds very much like an old radio king. That’s what Ian Witt who made it attempts to create.

@meekoloco 10 месяцев назад

The Archer sure got in my ears!

@Theratron 10 месяцев назад

The looks of the Pearl but the sound of the Archer and the Purple Heart 😊

@LouProsperi 10 месяцев назад

They all sound great, but for me it's very close between the Dunnett Milkwood, the British Drum Company Archer, and the Pearl Stavecraft. I tend to prefer shallow snare drums tuned on the higher side. Thanks for another great video! Now I know some other drums to check out on my next visit!

@carlupthegrove262 10 месяцев назад

Holy Robin Hood, Batman.... that Archer snare looks and sounds amazing...I especially liked it with the room mics. They all, of course, shound great but my choice would be the drum from Sherwood Forest.

@ppernett1 10 месяцев назад

That Tama sounds as a good as my steel Ludwig super something or another. It was a unicorn, that thing sounded terrific. I like them all, 10 of each please...

@Lumerdrums 10 месяцев назад

it might be high tuning which I love, but man this Dunnett Milkwood has a beautiful tone, response and look as well. Totally in love with this one. Unfortunately my bank account isn't so much in love with buying new gear :D

@stephentyler4352 10 месяцев назад

British Drum Co snare is the Belle of the ball. ✨💫

@angelorasmijn7306 10 месяцев назад

They all sound great. To my ears the Tama and DW kickdrum sounded awesome together. They really complemented each other.

@user-xt7rs8md7p 8 месяцев назад

Awesome!

@alsdrumhang 10 месяцев назад

The snares are amazing, tasty, everything I hoped for... but can we talk about those beautiful 17" hi hats a second? YUM.

@drumcenternh 10 месяцев назад

Right? Those were super fun too!

@perosa99 10 месяцев назад

Canopus, TAMA and Pearl would be my picks. The more interesting ones. Although they were all nice. The Dunnette is an interesting one as well. The price tags can help clarify the level of interest in these drums

@andreasbreitwieser1449 10 месяцев назад

The Canopus and the Tama Star for me please!

@bigkickleo 10 месяцев назад

DAVE MATTACKS in the shop?!! MISTER snare drum drops by as you're demo'ing snares?! Hah! 😅

Yup! haha!

@carolinewagenknecht1933 10 месяцев назад

Archer vs Cedar-can't decide. Everything was played and recorded beautifully as always!

@joc8 10 месяцев назад

I thought they all sounded great, but the Archer from BDC, and the DW purple heart were my choices, as my ears heard them today. Visually, I think DW should not have covered the shell with black laquer, or at least, had accents of that beautiful purple heart wood showing. Anyway, great video guys, love the head to heads, the humour, Adams presentation and Tonys playing. Look forward to your next instalment.

@funnyman7515 10 месяцев назад

Can you make a video showcasing the drum sets in the drum museum on the upper floor?

@Ashlord 10 месяцев назад

That Archer snare sounded awesome, but that Purpleheart really blew me away! The whole kit sounded great, and the snare itself was incredible. Yet another DCP banger 🤘🏼

@drumcenternh 10 месяцев назад

Glad you liked it!

@zedtozer0788 10 месяцев назад

@amirmpr 10 месяцев назад

I like so much DW really just

@jkdrummer9585 10 месяцев назад

Pearl sounded choked like all thicker shells do. I like how the video ends with “financing available” since these snares are the same price as a decent drum set. In the head 2 head portion, they all pretty much sound the same. IMO, these boutique snares are more about looks and bling.

@MyDyerMaker 10 месяцев назад

I like the Ludwig.

@amirmpr 10 месяцев назад

I need DW really just

@gabrielemartino2466 10 месяцев назад

the biggest AND best in the world!

@drumcenternh 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! ❤️

@CraigShawCraigShaw 10 месяцев назад

The Stavecraft was better than i expected

@DeanVincent1960 10 месяцев назад

The milkwood snare was nice, but I have found that chocolate milkwood gives the drum a darker tone. 🤔

@NicholasSantangeloDrummer 10 месяцев назад

Literally came from the BDC shootout with the Archer Yew shell. Saw the thumbnail & needed to check this out. Also is that snare, screen right @14:00 a stanbridge snare?

@drumcenternh 10 месяцев назад

Awesome and yes sir!

@richboshart1201 10 месяцев назад

Canopus and Tama.

@TheCapedCrusader94 10 месяцев назад

Love that Purpleheart DW snare, looks great and sounds even better as far as I'm concerned! Has a really nice articulation of a metal snare drum, but retains that warmness associated with wood shells. Per usual, all the snares featured are well worth anyone's time and money, so it's all a matter of taste at the end of the day.

@brent3760 10 месяцев назад

Archer for the win!

@brent3760 10 месяцев назад

Dunnett comes in 2nd

@semmel195 8 месяцев назад

Great review als always...i'm kinda lookin for a wood snare drum that doesn't have a lot of crack and is not like in your face and violently loud. In small clubs the snare (and cymbals) are always the problem and bleeding into the singers mic. Any recomandations for a snare drum like that...or at least a wood type? Would be nice...

@cfusilier2 10 месяцев назад

I remember thinking a while back, what would a cedar drum sound like? And now I know. Just hope it’s durable :/ But between that from Tama, and the Archer from Brit Co, you guys really nailed a whole lot of exotic sounds.

@krusher74 9 месяцев назад

You would not really know what a cedar drum sounded like unless they did a head to head of exactly the same drums with differant shells, I would think most of the sound differance you hear is the differant heads, lugs/hoops and snare wires more than the wood. I bet the bearing edges makes more sound difference than the actual wood. But music cmpanies love selling expensive products on "exotic" wood.

@jeremy20100712 10 месяцев назад

The Dunnett did it for me, but the Tama drum was a runner up. All good though!

@philtravers5552 10 месяцев назад

Love that British drum. Milk wood....who would have thought?

@philphilison1623 10 месяцев назад

Big fan of 14 by 6.5 snares because they bring the extra mustard🥳

@aaronserfatydrumsandpercus7589 10 месяцев назад

Dave Mattacks!!!! Great video, as usual! I think the Dunnett and the TAMA are a great discovery. I'm not a fan of soft woods, but... THANK YOU! P.S. your playing keeps getting better!!

@drumcenternh 10 месяцев назад

The man, the legend! Great choices and thanks so much!

@tuslokbaki9579 3 месяца назад

Canopus for the win!

@cymbalslasher 10 месяцев назад

I am still favoring the Noble and Cooley Walnut from Staff Picks a couple videos ago. I've listened to a lot of these comparison vids. I really don't think it makes much difference how much you pay or what wood you get etc. Pretty much any snare can get you by if used right. That's all the other instruments too. Tone=Inspiration, If it works for you then that's all that matters. Nevertheless, keep making the vids, I'll keep watching, appreciate ya.

@waltheisenberg7626 10 месяцев назад

Canopus for me.

@dreamdrummer01 10 месяцев назад

Beautiful snares!! Not sure about the rim mic technique. Kind of wierd sounding. Pobably with a sm57 or another dynamic. Don't know, but all sounded different from other videos. Please make a PDP concept snares comparasion 🙏

@drumcenternh 10 месяцев назад

There were some changes to the room (the part you can't see in the video) and I am getting use to it. Still using the same Earthworks QTC30s.

@wilkinsnl 10 месяцев назад

I liked them all but the Pearl.

@jaymeramirez7435 10 месяцев назад

I’m 40. And I still think a snare sounds like a snare. I have 22 snares in my collection. And there’s no huge difference to me in how they sound. 😂 stainless, aluminum, maple, mahogany, birch, vintage, new,,,,, so many different sizes. They all sound similar. Not the same. But tuning is the main difference. And either some metal or wood. I’m probably gonna get crucified here for this. But. That’s my opinion

@drumcenternh 10 месяцев назад

Many factors, but and subtle differences. But they all FEEL different too, super important.

@dwightlewis3876 10 месяцев назад

I have one of the pearl stave(Japanese Oak 14x6 5) absolute cannon; basically a hybrid 13x6.5 due to the thick shell, but and absolute velocit-cannon, if I can make up a word....😂

@amirmpr 10 месяцев назад

Really DW is the best drums on the world infact

@davidsuprenant2782 10 месяцев назад

All very nice drums,if i could only have one it would be the BDC.ive owned my fair share of drums from various companies over the years and i think what BDC is doing is something special.these people are putting out quality at a whole different level as far as im concerned.

@stikkman61 10 месяцев назад

@travisgraham9818 10 месяцев назад

@mchaelfoley 10 месяцев назад

I like the Star solid cedar followed by the Dunnett (milkwood, who'da thunk?). I just don't love stave drums and the Pearl unfortunately did not change my mind. And I find the purple heart to be too metallic (you pointed that out). If I want metal, I'd play metal. If I want woody I want it to be woody.... BDC is right in the middle of the pack. Great video. What really sounds GREAT besides Tony's playing is that effing bass drum.. DAYUM
