I had a little time at the library recording studio yesterday, and I took three snare drums to tinker with. I rarely get a chance to play at normal volume so it was a rare treat!
The Rogers has been the snare I usually use for gigs. It seems to handle most tunings pretty well, and I ended up with a tuning similar to what I'd gig with. Pretty middle of the road. The Slingerland is one I bought from @BobC, and this was the first time I'd really put it through it's paces. It is less versatile IMO, but it's perfect for the application I intended. That's where it's sitting in the video. Last was the Pearl, which is the real workhorse (along with my Rogers). It sounded good and responded well at every tuning. I ended up with it tuned high mostly because it handled that tuning better than the other two. They were all usable up high, but I liked the Pearl best.
Phone audio only.
No metronome, no planned parts. Just grooving and getting a feel for the drums.
