I wanted to compare the two deep snares that I have in studio enviroment. Both are 14"x8" in size, and the thickness of the shells are also about the same. Pearl Vinnie Paul Signature is made from maple, and is wrapper, Tama Superstar is made of Birch and is lacquered.

I used no EQ on snares, and just slight compression. In person, the difference is more clear than in this video. Pearl has more "crack", slightly less ring and Tama has more volume, punch and bottom end in general. Should have used slightly more dampening...

Top head is Remo Pinstripe clear, bottom is Remo Ambassador hazy, and the snare wires on both are 20 strand Puresound Blasters.

Wanted to show you guys the great sound of the Paiste 505 cymbals, as I have a full set of them.
