I was wondering if anyone who has played both can comment on the similarities / difference in these drums. They both are beautiful instruments, but I can only afford one. Thinking either 13 x 6.5 or 14 x 6.5. I am hoping for something versatile - metal without a real metallic sound, good body, crack, and ring. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

6.5x14"; The Beni has more ring/sustain and bigger tone. The Dunnett is fatter and "wetter" sounding. Both drums are outstanding instruments with great tuning range, body and very studio/mic friendly. You can´t go wrong with either of them. The 6.5x13" Titanium is one of my favourits and my nr.1 "go to" metal snare drum. Articulate, punchy, beautiful tone, but logically, the 14" have more body. The 6.5x13" Ti records beautifully and is extremely fat on tape. All those drums have great crack and are very versatile.
