Price is not solely related to sound quality. Durability, how precisely you can tune it, how accurately it will remain tuned over time, amount of built it options...etc. the 50 buck snare sounds better in this clip imho but overtime, the 500 bucks snare will be more robust and reliable. Especially when you ll change the head over and over, how will the lugs age over time?

I've been playing for 40 years and there's more to it than explained here. Tuning, what heads are used, mic'ing up... all can significantly change the sound and projection. I still use an old Pearl free floater - an original with a maple shell. I recently tried a brass shell replacement and "live" sounded different but once mic'd could have been any other snare.
