"The snare drum is the center of the beat and it can make or break a song. The drums we chose are made by manufacturers like Sonor and Pearl that are renowned for metal snares that really stand out in a mix."
The five hand-selected snare drums were recorded with wires on and off and are included in both natural and processed versions. Drew Vernon and Mike Bugh:
"We wanted to capture an array of excellent snares made from various metals like brass, bronze, steel, and aluminum that are full of character and offer huge sound. The end result is a collection of snares that punch and crack with clarity, cut through a mix, and are instantly usable."
