After 10+ years of buying virtually no new gear I've been on a big purchasing kick. Buying a little bit of everything and trying out some new sounds. Here's my currently full snare rack with the following snares:

N&C SS walnut
Dunnett titanium
Udrum cherry
Ludwig hammered black beauty
Udrum cherry bomb
Tumbling Boulders segmented bubinga
Oriollo phantom
Tama SLP spotted gum

Not included in this pic are:

DW collectors purplecore
2 SJC maple snares
Inde bronze and brass snares (bronze on order)
Ava mahogany stave (on order)
Summit purpleheart steambent (on order)

Likely going to be purchasing a bell brass at some point, eyeing up the Oriollo Bellmaker.

Sadly I lack a group photo of my near 40 snare collection. Best I can offer up is a pic of some of my Tama drums, the Star snares. Technically the Simon Phillips anniversary snare isn’t a Star drum, but it photo-bombed the shot because it shares much of the same DNA from the Star line. 32CDF18D-D6F9-4DF8-BC36-7B3459171627.jpeg

What’s Your Favorite right now?
I currently have my Starphonic aluminum on my kit, and when I return from New Hampshire I will replace it with my Star Hammered Brass (that’s what road trips do after hours of radio while on the road).
