i was looking for an affordable metal/steel snare to add to my little collection. back in the day i allways had good luck getting a good sound out of my 14x6 1/2 export snare. i did a little online shopping and came up with a Pearl Sensitone Elite 14x6 1/2 steel snare on Amazon.com. to my door it was just under $130. the fit and finish and quality of the chrome are 1st rate. this drum shell is more true/round then my new black beauty. the throw SR-017 is what a p-85 should be, beefier and sturdy. the 2.3 super hoops II are quality, and the drum comes out of the box with real Remo Ambassadors. Pearls SN14201 snares work and sound good, no need to upgrade them. this drum tunes up easy and has a nice crack to it. i have it tuned i little above medium tensoin. i have since added a Remo Powerstroke single ply with dot and a die cast batter hoop. the rim-shot pop is incredible.
just thought i would post incase anyone is interested. to me, this was a tremendous bang for the buck.
