Here is a video comparing two of my favorite deep (6.5") snare drums for playing jazz. They are a 1960's Premier 14" x 6.5" Royal Ace COB (chrome over brass) snare and a 1983 Gretsch Centennial 14" x 6.5" snare (wood Jasper shell).
Both of these drums are great in their own way so I wanted to demonstrate the differences as well as the similarities between them. Both of the drums are outfitted with calfskin heads and have the original curly snares installed.
If you want to skip the talking here are the performance locations:
