Is Copper or Brass the best snare?
In the last #snaresaturday video, I showed you a Ludwig Copperphonic LC660 snare and a few of you mentioned you were now considering it over brass. Because of this, I decided to compare the copperphonic to another alternative metal snare, the chrome over brass, that way you could hear the differences between them.

Ludwig 5X14 Copperphonic Snare LC660
Переглядів 2,9 тис.19 годин тому
In the sound spectrum of metal snares, copper has the darkest overtones. After building timpani for years, Ludwig took that experience and implemented it into the 5X14 Copperphonic LC660 snare. In this #snaresaturday video, you'll hear why the copperphonic snare is amazing!

I am not familiar with it but what a cool bit of drumming!
This is an amazing album
Alive With the Glory of Love - Say Anything
As soon as that missed snare hit came I knew it was readymade
Both sound great although, this time, I'm leaning towards the Copper. Why don't you do a Copper vs Bronze comparison ? Thks in advance.
Totally agree, both do sound great. That’s a great recommendation! I think I’ll have to find a bronze drum now 🤔
Copperphonic for me
Sounds super solid in all tunings. What did you like most about it?
Eww green day
I like the Copperphonic. But they both sound great.
I liked the copperphonic, too, though that COB sounded real nice in the medium high tuning. We can all agree though, they both sound great!
Your channel is really fun. Super helpful and entertaining!
Happy to hear that - thank you for tuning in and following along! 🙏 🥁 What makes it helpful? would love to hear your insight.
COB for me
That’s a great choice! What made the COB stand out more than the copperphonic?
@@NickCostaMusic throaty crack and a little brighter
Hey, uh, it has been proven that 80% of the sound coming out of a drum is due to the drum head.
It has? Mind sharing where this was discovered - I’d love to read up on it! That leaves 20% of the sound made up from shell material, depth + diameter of shell, hoop type, weight of hardware, bearing edge of drum, even gaskets behind the lugs. Not saying the drum head doesn’t affect the sound, though 80% sounds like a bit of a stretch.
Thank you for using Blue Dawn/ water mix for cleaning. Ive been preaching this for years. Too many using tinfoil and coke or WD40..steel wool ..all these things DO scratch chrome.
Honestly, I can't decide between them. They're different, but I can't say which is better. I'd have to hear them in person to make a decision. Maybe it's my crappy laptop speakers, or maybe higher overtones are less audible when recorded, but the COB sounded drier than the copper at the higher tunings.
I’m sold on the copper! I think the chrome on the brass dries it out a bit.
It’s a great drum a lot look over compared to supraphonic or brass/black beauty. It just delivers! Listening back during the live stream I though the same thing with the COB - especially during the high tuning
Okay you sold me on the Copperphonic. Love how dry it is!
It’s a must have for your collection!
Question is should I do Copperphonic or copper acro
Copperphonic and acro BRONZE is the way to go!
I ordered a Copperphonic raw!
I like your videos and they realy show me(a fourteen year old) how much more music i need to hear, Thanks!
Readymade
Fantastic! I always heard there was mystery behind copper. I picked up my first about a year ago. 6.5 copperphonic raw & it’s incredible. I even removed gaskets. I would love to know your tuning breakdown. High, med-high, low… It’s hard to gauge these differences. I use a drum dial to start & tension evenly up & down from there. How do you define your standards for the different tensions? Excellent work! TY! 10 out of 10! Love the Saturday Snare Series.
Yeah - I became a fan of copper when I got the pewter copperphonic a few years back. It sounded like it was EQ’ed in the room. As for tuning, I always follow the same guidelines - tabletop tight for the bottom head, then adjust the top. Top head I’ll finger tighten all tension rods, then do a 1/2 or 3/4 turn on each lug. I’ll tap around each tension point and see if the drum resonates. If not, I’ll turn another 1/4 turn. Once the drum opens up, then I know that’s a good starting point with low tuning. From there, I’ll do a 1/4 turn on each lug to get from one tuning to the next. As for tuning labels, I relate it to the other tunings. Hope this helps, and thank you for leaving a comment! 🙏 🥁
@@NickCostaMusic Yes, this is great. Thank you again Nick. 🙏🏻🤓
Of course! Thank you for the comment 🥁 🥁
To my ears in the medium high to high tunings the Copperphonic kind of destroyed the COB rubber gaskets and all. In the high to cranked tunings, things sort of evened out between them though I have to give the nod to the Copperphonic with it's purer open tone. Both are beautiful drums and Nick I dig your fluid tasteful playing as well as your site content!
That’s a great observation! Couldn’t agree more, both are great drums 🥁
Sounds like breaking the law
Great video! Ludwig makes incredible drums, so one can never go wrong with any of their snares or drum kits, but in this particular case, I prefer the Brass. Thanks for taking the time to make this
Couldn’t agree more, they’re often imitated but never duplicated! Appreciate you taking the time to check out the video and leave a comment!

That's what I heard too. I can literally hear the pick scrape over the beat in my head. But I think it's a little too busy to be that song.
The lying lies and dirty secrets of miss erica court?
Shake it off
Love this comparison ❤😊
Glad you did! What did you think of the snares?
Loved both but the copperphonic is better in my opinion. I have a 6.5 raw one. It’s great.
Oh nice! 6.5 or 7 are my go-to snare depth. I bet that raw copperphonic rips! Does the depth provide a little extra ring compared to the 5 in this video?
Thought I was on to something with Ocean Avenue.
Yes what i was thinking too
Let’s add to the confusion and add the bronzephonic to equation. Purchased my first 6.5 hammered bronze in 89 and recently add a 8x14 hammered bronze. All of these are great. You really can’t go wrong with a Ludwig metal snare. Most companies are trying to recreate the classics from Ludwig.
I like your thinking - that’s one I don’t have in the collection!
Hello. Do you like the 6.5 or 8 version of the hammered bronze best?
@@camerondean6804 i like them both. The 8 is more versatile than you think.
@@wadedixon9890 Thank you.
Nope. But its a fun game.
Thank you for this! Also...I think you accidentally said 'Lugwig"...
You’re very welcome, thank you for checking out the video! As for Ludwig, that’s my Philly accent…😉
That's the coheed album name I think but it doesn't sound like welcome home... So maybe it is like Running Free? Oh I looked it up now it's a deep cut.
Part of it almost sounds like the Transformers intro song by Lion back in 1986
Now that you mention it, it really does!
