OK. After reading this thread I had a little free time so I got in a couple of hours on the drums. I'd been playing a Super Senistive Black Beauty 14 X 6.5 for the past few months.
I played that for about an hour and put the SJC on the stand after checking the tuning. It was very close to where I wanted it.
Thre SJC has a darker tone that the BB, but has a rich tone with rim shots that sing out.
The drum came with Evans heads, die cast hoops, and a Trick throw off. Very well set up!
I think this is going to be one of those drums that everyone wished they bought in a few years. I don't know how long they will be offered, and Sam Ash seems to be the only store that carries them. They retail for $450.00 in my area. I got mine for a hundred less on a promo.
I own a modest collextion of nice snares and this one will hold it's own with any of them.
HTH
