cool, thanks man!
I really liked 1,4,5and 8 ........7 was god-awful!
I'm usually using the powerstroke3...might try the G2 clear and the pinstripe clear next...(although I never thought I'd use a clear snarehead)

Wow! Huge difference between them. I thought 1 5 6 8 were all pretty cool.

 

[smy1]

I liked 3 and 5 the most!

Thanks for posting this!

I liked #3 the most out of them all, which is great because that's what I've been buying for my studio kit.

 

[Gnash]

Nice! I dig 1,3,8.

 

[Exocaster]

I liked 1, 3, 5 and 6 the most. I didn't care for 2 at all; it sounded lifeless to me. (I guess I just like a ringier snare?)

I completely agree with you, which is weird... my drummer uses those on his snare and it sounds way better than that sample they definitely doesn't kill the ring like that either.

My choices were the same as Exocaster: 1, 3, 5, 6

Number was 2 was my least favorite.

The others were pretty good - but I just prefered 1, 3, 5, 6.

Thanks for the thread - good stuff!
