Hello, so I recently changed my snare heads/wires and I got this idea get everyone to put what heads they use, what snare wires they use, how they tune the heads, and possibly to describe the sound.
I'll go first.
On my main snare (14x5), maple, I use an Evans HD Dry over an Evans Hazy 300. The wires are Puresound Blaster snares. I tune both heads extremely tight. It is a very poppy, dry sound. Great for hip-hop and funk.
On my side snare (14x5.5), steel, I use a Remo Black Sude Emperor over a Remo Hazy Ambassador. The wires are Duplex 20 strand snares. I tune both heads farly loose, but I get a surprisingly crisp sound. It's great for jazz, and when you play really fast it sounds like bacon sizzling. Yum!
