Fiberglass and Bamboo snares

[MadJazz]

Yamaha offers some exotic snares in fiberglass and bamboo. How do they sound?

The models are limited to a few sizes. In which size do these snares sound best?

It's a pitty that hey stopped making the Bamboo and FRP Snares about 5 years a go.

Sometime you can get them from ebay (the Frp more than the Bamboo)

I know Russ Miller has a custom 12x6 bamboo snare:
