Alicia probably has my favourite, it's dusty sounding. Works with the tune perfectly.

Hang tight the crate diggers.

its obviously the snare on SKENG.
it sounds like an aeroplane crashing in a cathedral

or the snare that comes in on that dnb tune that says BADASS alot, think it might be aphrodite - badass?

its more of a KANG sound than a BAP sound

anyone else blown away by the kick in Girl From the Codeine City? mainly in the intro when there's no bassline

Pure Gold. The snare in Skeng is a teeth rattler. Having finished the last wobble tune I am planning to write for a while I can now safely say yes there are too many wobbles and not enough snares in dubstep. And i like the Loefah tunes on Grime 2 too. I'm loving the Kode 9 ones at the moment, thats fer sure.

Darqwan - Rob One 7 is a good one.And I quite like that fuzzed-out snare in Slaughter Mob's Dub Weapon.

no guy tests El-B's woodblocks. no. one...

Someone should test them, they might be unsafe, snap in two and splinter in his fingers.

I like it when a snare is like TSCH.

BOOM TSCH BOOM TSCH

That's music to my ears

they're compressed to fuck.

when you look at most snares in a wave editor they look like shards, with the decay from the highpoint falling very quickly down.

el-b's snares are compressed so they look like squares, with the decay from the high point falling as slowly as possible. this means you can push them up to the limit of clipping in a track and the high says up there longer, giving the perception of "loudness."

either that or they're killer virtual knive shards from a ghost zombie...

Too true, El-B is the one, nothing seems to match him for me.

Yes. Very satisfying when you cue from that first kick then turn the bass down after, see also Blue Notez.

What a snare!

I've heard snares before, believe you me (well- do you?), believe me. I've heard snares coming out of my ears and into them as well. Some snares I've heard have been enough to delineate a rhythmic interval. Some have been louder but quieter. Some have been like taps upon the windows of consciousness by the fingers of a twiglet-man. Knobbly.

But this one!

PHEW BLIMEY

the intensive snare..with high hats treble & bass
