Do you have a preference for snare considered too short?
This snom thing is one of my least favorite trends I've seen in forever.
I'm not sure I've ever heard one that sounds good as a tom or as a snare and I've yet to hear anyone incorporate it tastefully in a musical application that makes any sense. I mean....I'm very open to being way wrong on this - but I haven't seen it yet nor can I really imagine needing a snare that exists in the same range as my floor toms.
The new Yamaha Stage Custom Hip has a snom standard - so its...a thing now.
8x14s are VERY versatile drums with incredible tuning range!I dunno, I have two 14 X 8 snares. One wood and one brass and they can be tuned into what most would consider normal tuning range and have the same feel as a shallower drum.
