how would you rate them.. as in 1,2, 3, 4....?

Wow... That's a nice palette of sounds to choose from. Tama's ads for the B/B praise its superiority over Maple in recording, does it live up to the hype?

I don't know yet, I haven't recorded them, but I think that they will sound great on records, different from maple

hey, for a "small" collection, i think its pretty good. No supraphonic? COME ON! :p

[razorx]

is that gmaple? if it is, is it worth the 500 that it sells for.

Man I will probably kill for supraphonic LM 402, but in my country is very hard to find one! Shame!

No it is not G Maple, just regular starclassic maple

[NIMBY]

that performer snare is rad, theres just something about sparkles that turn me into a big ball of happy.
thats quite the little collection, bet that power metal has a huge crack to it.

Wow, that is a nice collection you got there. Do you have any specific musical situation in mind for each one? Or is it just about the awesomeness of having a lot to choose from?

[Ytsejammer]

so did you kill for the supraphonic?

[Mdrummer]

so did you kill for the supraphonic?
Yes and I'm in jail now, playing jailhouse rock with my jailmates, of course on my Supraphonic!!

Those are all beautiful, top-of-the-line snares from top-notch manufacturers.

But I think I've been spoiled with all the pictures of stave, solid, steam-bent, magnesium, titanium, cast iron, carbon fiber and other freaky methods and materials. A standard-size collection of ply drums from major manufacturers just doesn't excite me much anymore, even a suberb collection like this. My tastes in drum porn are becoming ever more unusual.

Well someone likes Tama a little much haha.

Thats a cool collection man.

Those are beautiful drums and I would love to have a glass snare. In fact, my goal is to collect snares of as many non-plywood construction types as I can. I already have a solid shell and I'm working on one of Unix's staves. It would be great to have a collection of all-exotic construction snares, with not a ply drum in the bunch.
