Tama S.L.P. Snare Shootout with Rudi

I made this video for #Tama to post on their socials - reposting it here too, in case anyone missed it! Quick lil' shootout featuring a variety of snares from the S.L.P. line that Tama makes.

There're are a BUNCH of other snares in the S.L.P. line - these 6 just happen to be the 6 that I own. I do also have an SLP Dynamic Bronze, but since Tama recently discontinued it I chose not to include it. Only wanted to feature SLP snares that are currently available. That doesn't mean I won't use the Dynamic Bronze in future videos (it's a great snare!), it just didn't make senes to include it here.

The 6 snares in this video are (in order)...

14x6.5 SLP Sonic Stainless Steel
14x6.5 SLP Bold Spotted Gum
14x6.5 SLP G-Walnut
14x6.5 SLP Black Brass (with upgraded top hoop)
14x6.5 SLP Dynamic Kapur
13x7 SLP G-Maple

I used a coated #Evans G2 on top & a SnareSide300 on bottom for ALL snares, with no more than a half-piece of #Meinl Drum Honey. Didn't tune them to anything specific, really - just to whatever I felt sounded natural / best for each specific snare. I think my personal favorite ended up being the Dynamic Kapur (!). Which one's your favorite (genuinely curious!)?

The drum part / backing audio is a loop that I made from a part off the new Intronaut album, 'Fluid Existential Inversions' (the song "Tripolar", specifically). Jammed the beat on each snare & then edited them together!

'Fluid Existential Inversions' is now available for purchase & streaming on all platforms (via Metalblade Records). If you haven't already, please check it out!

Mixed this one myself - just tried to keep it natural & relatively unprocessed. Minimal EQ on the snare, room mic's a bit louder than usual.
