Got a 10" customized Yamaha (birch/mahogany/falkata) for over 10 years and (although not used too much) its my number one for all these years. Every band/project loves it. I love it. It just gives that nice pop.

I use a 10" Pearl Firecracker snare. Works great as a side snare. Very cool overall snare, nice high pitched sound and rimshots are fun too.

Thanx for the replies guys.
Theres a Musashi Yamaha I tried and really enjoyed. I have a four-piece bop set-up and I figured it could add a nice voice between timbale and tom with the snares disengaged and a different snare sound for funky stuff. It also has the same (YESS) mounting as the kit I play, so it it would integrate easily.
I like the ease of travel it might afford as well. If I go light (snare & hats) to play somewhere, I could easily toss it in a backpack. Its not as authoritative as the MCA 14X5, so it would be cool for more acoustic outings (despite the small surface area for brushes!).
I'm going to go play it again, experiment with the tuning a bit, and give it a further listen.
