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!

    Hey, uh, it has been proven that 80% of the sound coming out of a drum is due to the drum head.

    • @NickCostaMusic
      @NickCostaMusic 8 годин тому

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @NickCostaMusic
      @NickCostaMusic День тому

      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! 🙏 🥁

    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!

    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.
