The tally so far....

1. Pearl Masterworks (8-1)

2. Sonor SQ2 (6-4)

3. Ludwig Black Beauty (7-3) (suprising!)

4. K Customs (7-3)

5. K Customs (7-3)

6. Tie (5-5)

7. Pearl ICON Rack (5-4)

8. DW Edge Snare (6-4)

BTW, some people either were undecided or chose something other than the options provide =d (that's why some don't equal 10).

(BTW great idea adding more questions! I'll add them to the tally after more people vote through 12)

I just wanted to see where certain products fall in the eyes of the drummers of this forum when compared to other products that I already have heard feedback from. For instance, the SQ2 is practically worshiped here (at least it seems that way), and I wanted to know how the DW fared against it.
