The most effective buzz reducing mechanism I ever saw was an internal snare application. Very complexed, & has to be built into the drum.
I completely agree that simple, especially from a component point of view, is best. I'm certainly not looking to create some goliath of a contraption with multiple bells & whistles, in fact, quite the reverse.Personally, I think a lot of people put way to much thought into strainers.
Once the snares are in place, they all work the same, regardless if they're cheap or expensive.
And given Ludwig snares have been popular recording drums from 40+ years, I can't say I'm the only one who find the simple design just works.
