Your favourite snare

this! back in my sampling days i used the break on this a lot.
EDIT: just found an old beat of mine with this break it in (sounds slightly different since i layered it):

I really like the snare sound in this:

This track remains one of my all-time favorites. Hudson, you're a beast.

It's a narrowly bandpassed snare, followed by reverb. I like to slowly LFO the filter cutoff.

Beyond the fact that it's a great, tight snare, around the 8 minute mark there's a little break, then the song climaxes, but the drummer is just playing the crash and the kick during the first bit so it's super tense (doesn't feel complete yet, despite it being the loudest part of the song). When he finally hits the snare though it's like a machine gun shooting me in teh heart. It's such an important part of this song/album.

Sounds to me like Maudlin in the Well, or Toby Driver's other group Kayo Dot, if you aren't familiar with them.

I still think this snare sounds really cool. Honestly like the kick a lot too. Just fits the song well I think

[Aufnahmewindwuschel]

basically every arovane song

This one obviously involves some oldskool break sampling. My 480p link does it no justice, i used to play it out on vinyl long ago and trust me, it hits hard.
The snare is not loud as such, but it has this amazing clarity and presense:

lol 180 people have dled the snare in the OP. i feel famous.

[bRRRz]

the snare in war machine by reso is kickass!

[Marzz]

[Echoi]

current value has some of the sickest snares, receptor, neutral point, counterstrike all those guys too. Icicle's drums are always really tight, Arrows has a wicked snare

This snare that comes in at 1:51 gets me every time

I'm sure I have the 1.51 snare in some Reason DnB refill, 95% certain its the same one, very similar.

[fiveone]

sp:mc's percussion is always spot on in each track of his. i like the crispness of his snare(s) in trust nobody and hunted

[Samuel_L_Damnson]

Dunno wether i'd call em snares, but the sounds in the snares place get me every single time.


If not the snare at like the begining after the drum roll

[Huts]

^ love the snare in that eksmo tune, hearing a lot of similar snares in these mellow dubstep/garage type tunes, gets me every time

I agree, no clue what they are, but they are just magical .
