Love seeing all these 14x8 owners n’fans in the comments 🤘🏽😃
You just made my day! I have three 8" X 14" snare drums. All my drum buddies think I'm crazy. I finally feel vindicated!
Three is a little excessive…which is perfect 👌🏽😏
I was thinking the same; I have two 14x8's
@@RobBeatdownBrown 🤣
Hey Rob, you are absolutely correct, this is Ray, I am a totally blind person that plays drums, and I just ordered my 14 x 8, Yamaha, of course, and I am chomping at the bit to play this thing when it gets here. Thanks for all that you do. Good sir. 4:41
Similarly, I love my 13 x 7!
Man, seeing your smile when you hit that super high tension made my day.
Nice
I had a maple OCDP (Taiwan) made 13x7 with die cast hoops. Easily one of my most favorite to play. It was never my preferred “look” in drums. I’m a vintage drum guy. But man… that drum with a clear controlled sound dot head…. 🔥 crisp
Love the 13x7” TAMA SLP G MAPLE..
I’ve never really been a fan of low tunings on a snare drum….. until I heard this one! 😍
Rob Brown is absolutely legendary!!! 💯🥁
Thanks, man 👊🏽😎
I just bought a Ludwig 8"×14" copperphonic!
Niiiiice 👌🏽🔥
Sweet!!!
I’m a beginner drummer and I’m learning so much from your channel!!! Keep those awesome videos coming my man 👊🏾
dude ive been drumming for 15 yrs and Rob's channel is a GOLD MINE! all the best!
I'm a beginner too and have loved Rob's videos. Just so much help getting started when you are trying to work it all out.
I've owned my 8 x 14 DW snare since 2017.It's the greatest snare size I know of. You are correct,Rob.This is the SD depth every drummer needs.
I have a 8x14 DW performance maple snare, and it is bitch'n.
@@benpeterson7530 bruh you bought your snare off wish
I absolutely love that "waaaaaay down" low sound ! 👍
Tried this drum once, absolutely amazing sound. And I love 14x8 but my fellow train passengers don’t, I used to bump into people all the time with my 14x8 on my back.
I can vouch for this, picked up a new 14x8 snare over the summer, I love it 😂
It is so awesome to watch you have fun with that snare! THAT is an WONDERFUL sounding snare drum!
I'm not a drummer but you blew my mind when I saw you tuning with two hands. Thank you sir. I might forget where I learned that trick but I'll use it the rest of my life. Nothing like waiting for a drummer to tune their drums. Other than when they can't lay off the kit while you're tuning your guitar. Lol
I’ve always been on the fence about 14x8 snare, but you’ve convinced me. Thanks
That low down sound is awesome! Thanks for the show Rob 😊🥁
Thanks for covering so many variables, especially without and with the ring muffle!
Sounds as good as it looks! Love the first tuning(medium).
Beautiful kit too!
Happy Drumming!!!
You are so good at what you do, please keep doing it. Much Success.
MY FAVORITE............Yamaha Brass SD498 Snare Drum 14X8.............THE SOUND OF THIS THING IS KILLER....
Rob, you are absolutely right. Iv'e been playing a 14 x 8 for at least 33 yrs now. I bought a 14 x 8 Mapex 8 or 10 ply solid rock maple snare way back on a promotion from a local music store and am damn glad i did. Playing out live iv'e had so many compliments from sound engineers on it makes me know i did the right thing. I love it. Take Care Rob
I’ve wanted a 14x8 snare for years! I love my Sonor kit and I must say your Yamaha kit looks and sounds awesome!
I used to have a ddrum 13x7! Loved how boxy it was and when mic’d up for live gigs with a touch of reverb in it, it sounded great! Always got great comments on it! Had it for years but moved it on and went for the standard 14x5.5 and love that too!
Brother I enjoy watching your enjoyment. Man, that super low tension was some of the best sounding, full bellied fatness ever! Thanks and Blessings!
I fell in love with the 14x8 size of drums when I was in high school. This band came through town and the drummer was rocking this Ayotte kit (back when Ray was still making them) and he had with it a 14x8 snare in maple. It was the first time I'd ever seen/heard one, and it was the best sounding snare I'd ever heard in my life. I knew at that point, I needed one. Fast forward a bunch of years... Vinnie Paul releases a signature snare drum with Pearl, snakeskin wrap, spiked tube lugs, 14x8. It was the first one to hit shelves in Canada, I bought it that day. It's been one of my main drums ever since, even got it signed by Vinnie himself. Love it at all tunings... they are just amazing drums. Congrats on your 14x8! Just gorgeous drum sound and look.
Thanks Rob. That's a lot of drum you got there! 😊
I have a dw 8x14 steel snare- one of my favorites- so powerful and dynamic
Ive had a chance to play Vinnie Paul's model once and 14x8s will always have a special place in my heart.
When I first started playing drums, I was playing with the 14x 5 snare drum. I have been enjoying using a piccolo snare. Thanks for the advice.
I got a custom SJC 14x8 a number of years ago when I was playing in a rock band. Have now switched over to playing solely weddings and the drum is perfect for that setting also.
Nobre Rob Brown ! Sensacional esse vídeo ! Saúde, Alegria e Luz para você !
I own a 14 x 8 Gretsch Swamp Dawg and it is a really versatile snare with a big range. Love it!
I recently bought a DW performance series steel 8x14 snare and everyone compliments the sound of it at my church. I’m very happy with it! 👍🏼
Rob - hanks for helping me confirm my decision for gig snare tonight. my 14x8 is lovingly called "The Beast".
Beautiful introduction. Drummers therapy.
Well I went out and bought a virtually new one at a great price on ebay and am knocked out with it! The Black Beauty is going on the shelf for a while. What a great (left field) snare! Cheers Rob.
its great watching your excitement 😅
Great video as always Rob
The smile on your face is priceless. Of course one of your drumming heroes played 14x8 Tama snares, Phil Gould.
I just finally to pull the trigger on a 6.5x14 Ludwig Black Beauty. I am in love with it. 8x14 on my list
my go to snare. gigging with it tonight!
When I was checking out snare drums at the Thomann store in Burgebrach, I also fell in love with this particular snare.
The Ludwig Universal 6.5 Mahogany snare also sounded very good.
Always loved an 8x14. My old Tama 1986-7 Swingstar kit I ordered w/ an 8x14 ..... just a great size drum that's FAR more versatile than people think. You just proved it! 🥁👍😎
Yes. Got a 14x8 Antique White Maple A&F and that thing is an absolute BEAST!
WOW 😳 Well, congrats on that one 🔥
I have two deep snare. One is a 14x8 Gretsch and one is a 14 x 7 1/4" Stave Paduk snare that I made. Both have their place. Love a deep snare!!
NICE SNARE !!! Nice kit !
I played with an old late 60's / early 70's Ludwig (wooden) 10 x 14 concert snare for MANY years. I loved that snare ! I only paid $40.00 at a pawn shop. It was basically in mint condition.
It had great sensitivity, tone, depth, and it could cut through the LOUDEST amplification. I put a 48 strand snare on the bottom and that thing BARKED ! Subscribed !
Agreed! I picked up a Pork Pie 14 x 8 a bit ago. Love it.
Absolutely love my C&C 14x8 with 6 lugs and re-rings. Recently put on an Evans Calftone head as well as 16 strand wires (previously 30 like in your video), and it really sings.
I still have my Tama Artwood AW548, Bird's Eye Maple, 14x8, which I bought back in 1986. It's a beast, I love it !
I use a 14x8 Pearl Free Floater aluminum. It is my favourite snare drum and it's always my go to! Beautiful drum!
I just bought a 14x7 tama starphonic walnut shell man what a snare it does a lot of tunings very well.
Yep!!! I have a Ludwig 14X8” Coliseum, and in my 17 snare drum collection, it’s the KING!!! A studio here in NorCal that I’ve recorded at, has sampled it and it’s on other drummer’s recordings. 😆😳😆🥁🤘🏼
Love it, Rob !!
Tuned up and no ring - Mitch Mitchell esch ! Nice put a smile on my face too..
Great snare Rob, I love birch. Tuned high or low ,you re a bad ass . Thanks Rob!
Love the sound, and after looking it up, I love the price, too. I had a parade snare once, and the low-end tuning reminds me of that one. Nice sound
Hell yeah. I have a 14”x8” custom Bubinga snare drum I had made to specs, it’s by far my favorite snare and none of my other 3 snares is even close to claiming the title of “main cannon”. 14”x8” for life! 🤘🏻
The snare sounds incredible, I’m buying one!
Love me an 8 X 14 - but for some reason never bought one. This sounds great, phenomenal and the dude playing sounds real good too.!!! Thank you for sharing.
Man, this was eye-opening, Rob! I love that “basement” sound✊🏾
Wow. Sounds great !! Nice grooves too :)
I’ve got a 14x8 Tama SLP Black Steel and it’s a monster. I just love it.
The look of joy on your face as you jumped into each tuning just made me wanna jump on the kit so bad and groove man.
Hey, i wanna buy this one but what is it like, can you explain it?
You are right Rob, totally versatile! Wish I had the dough, one day maybe. Still love your A&F raw brass snare too.
My last snare drum was a black beauty, I swore only by the 14 x 5 or 14 x 5 1/2, but thanks to you I just discovered the power and true versatility of this snare drum! The fat sound for rock, blues or rhythm’n’blues, up to the sound of a piccolo for funk, latin, etc... It’s really the snare drum I need. Thank you for your videos, very helpful
I recently bought a new to me (very lightly used 2021) RC kit in piano black. The snare is a 8"X14". I couldn't imagine I'd ever need a snare that size. WOW!!!! I totally agree with you, this drum is far more versatile than I ever imagined. The first time I played it at a rehearsal I was blown away. I own several (too many?) snares but I can see how this one is going to get a lot of use. It's a monster, I love it. Thanks for the video.
I have the Tama SC walnut birch 14x8. Yes, #1 snare of versatility. I use many different heads as well...🤟
I love your smile when you first hear that sweet sound. Thanks for another great video. I recently dug out my old Premier B303 8X14 snare drum I made from a tom back in the 80s. Mahogany and beech. I am getting to know it again. I took it to a Jazz gig last night tuned low with loose wires. I found that sounds really great from the audience but not so good from playing it.
p.s. Rings are where it is.
Completely agree and love these versatile deeper snares. Have 13 by 8 pdp concept and love it. And changing the snares to a 30 pure sound makes all the difference too with an Evans’s HD dry. Amazing sound .
7x14 cherry bubinga on my kit. I love your facial expression on that high tension. Sounded amazing 👏
Keep the great videos coming
Probably a new snare drum? DEFINITELY a new snare drum. Great stuff. That snare and those cymbals sound fantastic.
This line right here is evil incarnate...
I love my 13 x 7 for the same reasons! They have a bit more low-end than a 14 x 8 at high tunings because there’s a bit less tension at higher tunings
Yup. 13 x 7 is actually the perfect size. Not only for tuning, but for placement between the legs. Just a little less stress on the hips.
Wow! Gotta a say, Im impressed! I was always in this fales believe for a good depth snare drum I should go for metal... That video prove that wrong... 👌🏻
Got my 14x8 Ludwig supralite on its way today 🎉 can’t wait to mess with it!
I built a 14 X 8 cherrywood stave snare a few years back....I found it to be a bit much in the low-end so I cut it back to a 7"...now, it's perfect...the badge on it says "Big Thump"!
Right on Rob👍💯. Your reaction to every tuning range is the sound of satisfaction. That tuning range is surprisingly wide. I'll have to look into a snare drum upgrade.
I finally got me one of them 6.5x14" A&F raw brass snares on a very rare Craigslist find! It is my #1 for ever drum now.
That’s ridiculously rare. Somebody got divorced lol
I have a noble and cooley 13x7 ss maple snare I absolutely love. I was worried it might be too deep but its perfect.
I absolutely cherish my Made in Japan Birch Custom Absolute 14x7 snare drum by Yamaha. Amazing versatility and sound, and to this day the best snare drum I ever heard or owned.
Mickey Curry used this snare with Bryan Adams. 14X7
My greysch swamp dawg is a MONSTER!!!!!!! been messing with tunings and it keeps getting me Everytime lol
Got my eyes on one. This settles it. Thanks Rob!!
DO it 🔥
Enjoyed the video, I have 2 8x14 snares. One maple, one steel. I love the tuning range on both. Keep up the good work on thw channel 👍
I own that exact drum also with the real wood finish! I love it! It matches my real wood finish recording customs I bought at the same time. 12/14/16/18
That 18 bass drum sounds like a 20 or 22. Amazing
That's a great snare, I bought mine a couple of months ago and it's really versatile, as you demoed on this video. I just changed the top hoop to Gibraltar hoop, because these Yamaha hoops eat sticks really fast.
Very good info! Looks like I’m going to get one.👍🏾
Congrats on your acquisition, Rob. You were getting into Joey Kramer big snare tones toward the end of the demo. Sounds great!
I have a Tama SLP big black steel snare which i love. I put a die cast hoop on the batter side, Copeland style 😊, and i think it's fantastic.
I agree, i have a Pearl MLX 14 x 8, its awesome 👍👍🤘🤘
Awesome snare
Always wanted the premier rock 9
favorite size!!
What a great video. I just bought another snare and used Rob's intro to show my wife that I am not alone.
Yooooo…leave me outta it! 👋🏽😄
I like how that snare drum sounds. I also hear Steve Gadd, Mark Brzezicki, and some Will Calhoun influences here. Cheers, Rob! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🇨🇦🥁
Haha. Correct on all counts! 🥇
I love my 8" deep Sonor Signature cast bronce snare. Fits also well with my Tama Club jam kit - allthough the snare weighs more than the other kit parts together, incl. cymbals 😁
I picked up a Ludwig Black Magic 14 x 8 chrome over brass .. it was 300$ and the thing is beautiful .. almost sounds like a Black Beauty
I love it
I picked up a tama 13 x7 slp maple awhile back... it was not a size I ever really considered.... but wow I love this thing...lots of bite from the 13” diameter and meat from the 7 “ depth....
I have 2 14x8 Ludwigs that I got to fit the CCM sound, and fell in love with them when I realized how versatile they are. Never going smaller with my main snare again 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Me neither!
Rob's sticks start off as 747B Super Rocks and end up as 5As. Thank you for showing real time tuning. Very valuable!
Oh HellYeah!!🤘🏻🤘🏻 When you dropped it way down, it was just filthy perfection! ❤
I have a PDP 14x8 that’s a 20 ply maple/walnut and I’ve yet to hear a bad comment about it.
It’s just my do it all snare!😎
😂WoW, that was impressive Rob. Thanks
thank you for this, I have two 14x8's, A Masshoff maple Big Chief and a Pearl Vinnie Paul signature. they both have a presence before you even play them
Great snare !! ❤
Just bought this! Super happy about it. Sound guy loved it! Try it with an Evans Dry...killer crack! 😊
