Hey guys
I've got like £300 to spend on a new snare for Christmas. I've been doing a fair bit of research and I've so far acquired a small list of drums to try out when I next go to a drum store. The list so far:
Pearl Sensitone Brass/Aluminium 14" x 6.5"
Mapex Black Panther 'Phat Bob' 14" x 7"
Mapex Black Panther Velvetone 14" x 5.5"
Mapex Black Panther Machete 14" x 6.5"
Ludwig Acrolite 14 x 5" (I'm looking on eBay for an older one as well)
Pork Pie Big Black Bob 14 x 6.5"
The sound I'm essentially looking for is a fat, wet sound, although I would prefer the snare to have a wide and versatile tuning range so I can use it in more then one context.
Are there any more snares that you guys think I should check out when I go shopping? (If it helps, the stores I will be visiting will be GAK in Brighton and Andertons in Guildford)
Cheers
