Does depth really affect the sound of a Black Beauty snare drum?

When I made the Top 5 Metal Snare Drums video    • Top 5 Metal Snare Drums  , a few were surprised that the ‪@LudwigDrumsHQ‬ Black Beauty wasn't number 1. Being that some commented that it was because the one in the video was an 8x14, I decided it would make for a great #snaresaturday video. So in this video, it's time to see if depth affects the sound of a Black Beauty snare drum, by comparing a 6.5X14 to an 8X14!
