Hi
I currently play in a melodic metal band, using a Sonor Force 2007. I love this kit, everything sounds great, apart from the snare. I have the Remo Powerstroke 3 skin on it with the pinstripes and so on, and replaced the snares, but I just cant get it to sound right. Its a pretty average snare drum to be honest...
Anyway, im on a mission to buy a new snare. Im a ''first timer'' at this, so i was hoping to get some advice on what sounds and feels good. Obviously i play in a metal band, so i need it to sound tight a precise. We dont use too many blast beats, but i do use them in a number of songs, and there are plenty of fast rolls etc. If you are interested in hearing my drum sound, check out our myspace : www.myspace.com/ayerametal
When i recorded with my band i used a Ludwig black beauty steel snare similar to this, with a black remo skin (not sure exactly what it was). It was really tight, and it felt and sounded amazing! So, this is at the top of the list.
I was also thinking about a Mapex Black Panther (this is my maple option)
What do you guys think? Any suggestions?
Thanks
