THE SNARES

Snare 1 is a tight and cracky brass snare with a ton of decay. It’s a great sound for a lot of rock pop and metal.

Snare 1A is the same brass snare, yet dampened for a quicker sound with less decay and no ring.

Snare 2 is a very large brass snare, tuned medium for a big sound with a good amount of crack and low end thud.

Snare 2A is the same large brass snare with dampening to shorten the decay, for a large yet quick sound.

Snare 3 is a gorgeous sounding maple snare, tuned tightly for a beautiful natural crack with rich resonance.

Snare 4 is another maple snare, tuned medium for more thickness and a fatter attack. Great for pop rock.

Snare 5 is one of my personal favorites. It’s a steel drum with a ton of chunky crack and a nice thick resonance. Very punchy, great for all styles of music, but slamming on rock and metal.

Snare 5A is the dampened version of Snare 5, for a quicker decay.

Snare 6 is a steel drum tuned medium for a fat splatty attack.

Snare 7 is another personal favorite of mine. It’s a maple snare tuned nice and tight for a rich and thick crack, with a woody overtone.

Snare 8 is a huge maple snare, tuned low for a huge thud and thick snarey sound, for slow ballads and slow rock and pop songs.

Snare 9 is a small brass snare tuned ultra tight for a high pitched crack with a hefty low end to cut through dense mixes. Great for metal and rock.

Snare 9A is the dampened version of Snare 9. This snare is very quick and very punchy.

Snare 10 is a quick decaying, ultra fat, steel snare, tuned medium tight for an all around great rock, pop, and metal sound.
