Best snare for metal??

[Arcay]

What dou you think? The drummer of my band want buy a new one. I need your advices. Thanks!

 

[Seizure.]

Anything (not kidding..) metal, i like pearl sensitones and The chad smith signature, if you got some more money blackbeauties is your snare to buy.

the pearl steve ferrone is a great versatile snare and not too expensive. ive used them before and they sound great. i have a pearl brass snare that i really like. its a freefloating 5x14. good luck.

I'm a big fan of brass tama snares, and wood gretsch snares. Brass snares I love for the "ping" and cutting power. Wood grestch's are amazing for giant thud and power.....

Really though, pretty much any reasonably priced snare will work. If the shell is molded correctly and isn't warped anything CAN work. It's more about the tuning and head selection that'll make all the difference.

I think the Pearl Ultracasts are awesome. Otherwise a 12x7 snare of some sort will give you a lot of sounds. I can get most sounds out of it.

Otherwise, properly learning how to tune and get different saids of drumheads works too

 

[Torniojaws]

Probably anything and depending on taste. Personally from what I've heard (I'm not a drummer), I've liked the Tama Starclassic for fat and pretty much all Sonor piccolo snares for fast playing.

That Pearl Jordison snare (13") sounds great on everything ive heard, plus its cheap.

 

[Chryst Krispies]

The little squealer, or the dw brass popcorn snare.

I need more opinions. I have about 700 euros for buy a very good metal snare. Fat, punch and loud, think in machine head for example.

Thanks!!

Local band (now broken up) had an endorsement from this company and it was awesome sounding shit.

I can't get enough of Mapex black panther snare, http://www.blackpanthersnares.com Chris Adler from Lamb of God I believe plays these and has my favourite snare tone ever.

 

[cobrahead1030]

+1 for the gretsch wood snares

i was also really surprised by the pearl joey jordison sig for the price

if you can find a great sounding one for less, there's no need to spend 700 eu. on a snare

Noble and Cooley alloy classic.

Having spent many a night of my childhood roaming the streets of Woburn Sands, I'm surprised anyone knows of this drum shop. Only went in once or twice, but my drummer goes here and seems to work alright for him.

Really weird place to have a drum shop imo.
