But if you play other genres of music, you might. The 5" isn't as loud, and it's probably a better choice for funk and jazz, and smaller venues where noise is a factor. You can still do just fine with the 6.5" in those situations, but I think the 5" is ever so slightly better for the quieter, more intricate styles of music.
I have both, and honestly, it's a toss-up. I love them both equally, lol.
All my snares are sensitones. The sound difference between 5", 5-1/2" and 6-1/2" is very small. Honestly, I can't tell you which one is best. If I HAD to make a recommendation for you, I'd say go with the 6-1/2" because you play mostly Rock.
5.5in Supra to go ala Steve Gadd AND a BB 6.5 for all heavy Rock....just joking, I'm still convince that the pure look and intention of the Supraphonic is to be used more in 5.5....When player want a 6.5, they go with BB....Personal feeling based on nothing statistic data or whatever
