natural samples, free pearl steel shell

[KBMoser]

These samples are of a pearl steel shell snare drum i got about 10 years ago. just realized its a badass snare. Tuning is low and the head was muffled with an interior felt muffling pad. These samples would work for metal but better for rock. The snare as recorded in a 40 ' by 40 ' room with a stairwell in the middle of the room.

I captured the samples with two microphones, a dynamic and a condenser. I used a GLS Audio Es-57 and an AKG Perception 100 and those went into a Presonus Firepod. No processing was done but i can say parallel compression and some eq cutting will make this snare work really well.

Thanks! That's pretty close to the snare sound I'm going for. Just a little processing and I think it'll be there.

Using it now, this is a very, very good snare. Thanks!

thanks guys. it also sounds really nice pitched up to where a normal snare might be while still sounding natural.
