Oriollo- Almost bronze with presence and body. a real thumper.

My very humble snare collection.
The bottom drum came with my Slingerland Stage Band kit purchased new circa 1975. 5.5x14 3 ply (I think). It needs a cleaning desperately.
The next one up came with my Yamaha Stage Custom kit. 5.5x14. I bought them used a couple of years ago and is circa 2000.
The next up chrome snare is a 5.5x14 Pearl Sensitone that I snagged for $50, also a couple years ago.
The top one is a 3x13 brass Pearl Piccolo snare that I bought about a year ago.
I’m considering driving a couple hours to pick up a 6.5x14 Pearl Sensitone to round out my collection.
I’m just an amateur and this mix of snares would cover any situation I could imagine.

Been awhile since I’ve posted in this thread. These two snares have been going to all my jobs for the last six months or so. A nice contrast in sounds. 6.5x14 titanium and 5.5x14 rubber tree wood (aka Siam Oak) stave-shell.
The titanium drum sounds like a more polite 402 and prefers medium to low tension. The stave drum is very sensitive and somewhat dry sounding, like a really crisp conga slap sound. Dig the thickness of the stave shell.

I am surprised by the numerous responses to my "Baked Bean SN."
Thanks guys. So....it's made from an aluminum alloy cooking pot....from a well-known second hand store. They don't make baked bean pots in a drumhead friendly size...Thus the lug shims. It actually sounds just right for the size except.....it has volume to 11.
Thanks for watching. I did a cook-pot-tom too.

here is my 62 Supraphonic; inherited from my dad; everything on it except for the heads and the batter rim is original. I still have the original rim, but wanted to save it from the wear and tear of me using it, and I still have the original Ludwig Weathermaster heads from when he bought it
