THE BEST 7 SNAREDRUMS IN THE WORLD

Here are some samples of the seven best snaredrums in the world...

This is of course just my opinion and maybe you think differently.
So please leave a comment and tell us which snaredrum you like best.

These snaredrums are all tuned differently, with different kinds of heads. Some are muffled or damped. I tweaked the snares the way I like it best.

The recording is EQ-ed and compressed, but with the identical setting for each snaredrum.
