I've been looking into Gretsch Renown Maple kits to upgrade my Pacific CX. The local GC has dropped the price on a couple of shell kits with the extra 8" tom but no snare. I already have some snares that I'm very happy with. A hammered brass PDP, an older maple Ludwig that I use for trad blues, and a 6x12 maple DW for that Steve Jordan funk bit. I really don't need another snare unless it's going to be really useful. Not sure how much I'll use the extra tom (tend to just use a 4pc) either but it would probably get more use than the 12 (which gets left in storage as I just put my 10 up on top).
Folks, Is the Renown snare a good piece on it's own? I can't find one locally to try out. If I bought a set with snare, it would be mail order.
