I almost feel like you'd need a whole kit. The look of one of those snares behind a modern kit would bother me.
A&F got kicked out of NAMM for being too loud?I remember them getting kicked out of NAMM for being too load. They made a big deal and promoted it like crazy, as if it was a great thing. I’ve seen companies do this when they have nothing. Take away the fake vintage look and you’re left with nothing. JMHO of course. To each his own.
I remember Cerwin Vega making a big deal out of making sure they got kicked out of every venue back in the day. They 100% had done of the loudest speakers, but that was it. I guess some listen to their stuff at 11 all day long, but for some of us, clarity and body trumps volume. Same with drums....

? I wonder if they got kicked out on purpose for the publicity. It's not like they'd get kicked out after the first complaint. They'd have to ignore the warnings repeatedly.
That’s what the Cerwin Vega rep told me. “If I don’t get kicked out, I’m not doing my job.” I can only imagine it was the same with them. Kinda the any publicity is good publicity thing.?

Sounds like back-handed marketing to me, haha.
Not my cup of tea. Very swampy sounding and decidedly NOT versatile. To my ears, they sound cheap, which is not what I want from a very expensive drum.
I like their look, but I'll just leave this here...
If somebody gave me one of those snares ('cause I'd never pay that much for a snare drum - nope), I'd drive myself crazy with polishing wheels and lacquer coating. I've just never understood the look. If I pay that much, I want SHINE!!!!!! (In fact, even it was free, it'd have to shine!)
GeeDeeEmm
