You don't have to spend a fortune to have a great sounding snare drum, this is a perfect example of that
Yup this my main snare I took the string off and put straps on it I don’t use moon gels on it either I love the wide open tone you don’t need expensive drums to sound good also . I have a Tama super star classic maple drum set that I love I prefer them over more expensive drums and with this snare added to it sounds awesome !!!
@@erictorres4889 I have the same set up
I like his happy attitude as well as his snare sounds
Thanks! Glad you like it! //Simon
Great video and performance! Thanks! Greetings, Sepp
Cool video man! I buy a Supralite today, arriving next week, this video was really helpful, thanks a lot!!
Great. Enjoy your new snare drum and let me know when you first played it! Glad I could help. Anything you want to see and hear in a future video?
the snare is awesome and those overtones rock!!
Hi Arturo! Glad you like it!!! Are you more high , medium or low snare tuning player? //Simon
I just got that same snare but with ambassador coated on top and hazy at the bottom and let me tell it sounds amazing. If you’re in doubt don’t be anymore.
great video as usual
Great info… great sound
Oh my, that high tuning!!
Loved this video - my favourite head is the same as yours or the ambassador coated. Greetings
Thanks for the video
As long as the drum shell is round and there is no problem with the bearing edges or strainer/snare wires, you‘ll get your desired sound even with relative cheap drums. An important information.
Very helpful!
Gonna be my next snare
Nice! Enjoy her :) //Simon
Awesome video. Love your vibe.
You're absolutely right about snare wire tension and tone. I like them loose, to get that full body, but how do you keep the snares from rattling on?
the kick's mix is fire
Thanks a lot John! //Simon
Ambassador coated.Great video to learn new tips or just remember forgotten details.
Thanks Zevrik! //Simon
Evans Genera Hd dry is amazing
That low tuning at 540 is best for me. Just tuned same drum but using Evans genera dry head and omg! Not the genera HD dry though
Thanks man, my snare was sounding like crap and now I want to record with it!!!
That’s awesome! Glad to hear that! //Simon
Merci Simon : superbe vidéo comme d’habitude 👍🏻
Pourrais-tu faire un comparatif avec la Yamaha stage custom, la supralite et la Pearl héritage aloy steel ???
Merci 🙏🥁😉
Evans ST Dry is my favourite!
Genera dry
I just bought the Genera Dry for it and o highly recommend HIGHLY recommend
@@yanisocratousthe best. Not the HD though
You should discuss your micing techniques. Also I hear a slight compressor kicking in on harder hits.
i like this snare, doubting between this and the 5 inch version. why do you choose the 6.5? for more deep/low settings? or is it better for funk too?
Yeah I’m buying this snare 6.5x14 :)
Super ! Simon, je fais exactement comme toi
whats the difference of this remo head compared to the standard ambassador coated ones?
woow nice video thanks
Hi Carlos. Thanks!! //Simon
Should I get a Supralite.....sensitone or slp steel?cheers
On my EDrums I simply select the sample I want no key necessary.
On acoustic shells I always liked the Remo ebony emperor heads👍🏽
great!!
Thanks! //Simon
Which Hi Hat you use? Sounds so good!
love ❤❤❤
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻//Simon
great nina hagen in the back
Its all about the bottom head for that open sound
hy nice video , the mic in your snare is a e905 sennheiser? sounds better than a sm57 good viedeo greatings fron Iquique Chile
Hi Bojan. Thanks a lot man! Yes it is a Sennheiser e905. //Simon
I had the 5,5" version...nice peculiar tone but too much ringy (more than other steel snares I had).
If you tune it with tune bot what would it be?
His high tuning looks like it’s around 390 reso head and around 300 batter head. Shoot for a f sharp or g. For a fatter sound try reso @ 375 and batter @ 275
Great vid! Works with a Black Beauty too I guess? :). Also what resonant head do you use?
Thanks!
Hi Benjamin. It works with almost any snare. It’s Ludwig’s reso head that comes with the snare. //Simon
AND I HAVE THE SAME DRUM HEAD ON THE SAME SNARE YASSSS
That’s awesome!!! //Simon
Excellent choice of drum, but poor low tuning. You have to loosen the reso head also to achieve better low tuning.
Maybe yes. Or I should have tuned the batter head a little higher. //Simon
@@ThomannsDrumBash still sounded pretty amazing!
I prefer to hit the snare half way from the centre for clearer tone with an Ambasssador coated head
Hey Martin. Thanks for sharing! Do you still have enough body when you play it like that? //Simon
@@ThomannsDrumBash i don't know what you mean by body but it rings out more whereas hitting in the middle it sounds slightly muffled.
What kind of hi hats are those?
Hi Kith. These are 15“ Zildjian Kerope Hi-Hats // Simon
@@ThomannsDrumBash Thank you.
2:30 I only heard uh wah ah ah ah! ;)
This might sound incredibly stupid and shallow, but what's a good alternative to that batter head that wouldn't have a giant, obtrusive logo always staring up at me? lol
They all have a logo. I use Evans, not quite as large a logo. I like them a little more than Remo, very easy to tune, and they hold it, but I tune to specific pitches.
@@markr1550 And I’ve noticed most of the newer ones have even more minimal logos, so, that’s nice 🤷🏼♂️😄
left the stick,,,, under snare huh
sounds like a tin can to me
