i dont remeber that john robinson snare? What were the specifications?
Also, with the wood hoops, I agree with you, On recordings ive heard with steve playing rimshots and it sounds just like if he were to play rimshots with just a regular metal rim, but hey if it produces a sound he wants then why not, But for someone like me with a tight budget it would be to much money to add a cool look to my snare, Which is just a old generic metal snare(No brand) i need to find one thats good quality but easy on the wallet, I might go for the mapex mpx 13X6 maple snare so i can get somewhere close to the steve jordan snare dimensions and what not, but i need to ask around to see how that snare is.
