Thanks for the comments! My favorite of the bunch is the Brady. Very versatile. Can be tuned way up or down, and is very sensitive. The Gadd snare is a very good "pop" snare tuned up. The supra is really nice. The bronze sounds fairly dark, more so than brass, but not as dark as copper. The 2 sonor's are amazing, the symphonic is especially sensitive and I love the stick chopper rims. Thanks again!

Sure.. .come on over! I have only had the Gadd snare for about a week, but I've played it quite a bit. It has yet to de-tune on me. I put new heads on it, let it sit over night at a tight tension, then set the tuning to the desired sound and it has been fine ever since. And, I use a lot of rim shots, which can quickly de-tune a snare drum. So far so good!

Do I play them all? Not all at once! But, I do rotate them or change them out based on what songs they work best in. Otherwise, they are a collection. Almost all of them I have acquired as really, really good deals on ebay or drum forums. It you are patient, you can get good deals out there!
