Who likes deep snares?

[G-man]

Been playing this one for about a month now. 14 x 8 deep, 8-lug, mahogany snare with triple flange hoops. Came stock with 42 stand wires. Tuned low, this thing gives a deep, fat, crunchy Don Henley type sound. The tuning range is broad so I can crank it up and get a higher-pitched crack but with a rounder, fuller bodied sound to it.

The current snare sound trend is for a drier, higher pitched crack but is there anyone else out there like me that digs the deep fat sound of an 8" snare?

I don't have one but from what i hear on youtube i think i would like one they sound really nice. I would save the small cracking dry snares as my side snare.

14x8" mahogany? Damn, that thing must rumble. I've been moving towards deeper snares. I got a 14x8" maple MPX snare that matched my set in color, then swapped on the Merdidian lugs to make it match. I haven't had a chance to really play it though.

Nice snare. I picked up a 14" x 8" Ludwig Supralite a couple of months ago. Steel snare. It wakes the dead and gets the neighborhood dogs barking. I have a 42 strand not being used at the moment. Think I'll throw it on the Supra and see what havoc I can create. Thanks for the idea!

It can rumble, although I have it tuned up a bit from its lowest. Everything about this drum is designed to go low and fat- the depth, the wood, the number and type of lugs, Remo Emperor head.

Most nights I use a 13x8. Love it.

Those are some beautiful snares! I have a 14"x10" Ludwig w/42strander I had put with a Downbeat kit..

I like deep snares just don't own one.

Not a very good pic but this was my old 8 x 14 chrome wrap Tama Granstar. I played it a lot. The lugs had a tendency to break in the middle. The one piece Granny lugs had an hourglass shape.



I have a black wrap 7 x 14 Tama Artstar with the freedom lugs in the lineup now. Don't know what happened to the GS, but wish I still had it.

I own three deep snares:

Taye Maple with Wood Hoops 14x7

Mapex Maple Black Panther Phat Bob 14x7

DW Performance Series Chrome Over Steel 14x8

I have Evans Genera Drys on all three for a warm/fat sound.

I love deep snares!

I have a 14x8 Black Magic and I love it! Most of my snares are 6" or deeper. Deep snares is where it's at!

[Zeta]

My 2 go to snares are my 14x6.5 Ludwig Pre-serial Brass, and my 14x6 Yamaha Anton Fig (w/wood hoops)

I also have a 13x7 Pork Pie.

I'd REALLY like to get something around a 14x8, hopefully a wood shell.

[G-man]

You don't see many used 14x8s on the market. Seems that when someone gets one, they tend to hang on to it.

[lukedverlennich]

I have a 13x7 Chestnut ash and i really love it !!!! But i want a 14x8 really bad!!!

That's an awesome looking snare!

As an aside, what are those fan-looking things by the legs of the snare stand?

I prefer deeper snares and among mine I have:
14 x 8" Pearl Birch DLX Custom Parallel Action Strainer 1982 (made for Phil Collins)
14 x 8" Pearl Birch DLX 1984 (with Premier marching hoop)
14 x 8" Gretsch Rosewood Power Snare (1985)

I also had a 13 x 7" Mapex Blaster Maple Walnut Snare which was very nice, but I sold it with the Blaster kit.

[Nechre]

I hardly get to play them because they're so dang loud, but I own a 14x10 Maple DW collectors, 14x8 Birch DW collectors, and a 14x8 DW performance chrome/steel. I love the sound, but I'm about keeping that stage volume lower if I can.

[weezy]

I like them, but don't currently own one.
