I bought a Pork Pie 7"x13" Brass Patina snare last night...it's a pretty amazing drum - I'm quite impressed. It's got balls, for sure. TONS of low-end but a nice crack. The depth does rob you of a little bit of articulation but it still sounds fantastic. It sustains like crazy! As I started to tune it, when the heads were tuned low - I realized this thing would make an amazingly loud, deep, fat tom...it really sings.

It's not *perfect* yet, however. It came w/ 20-strand brass wires, I'd like a higher stand count, I think...and maybe to dry it out a bit. Of course it rings quite a bit but I don't want to dampen it too much...I *like* some ring and won't use moongel, rings, or any other dampening accessories.
I might try to find some 24-strand wires and was thinking about putting a genera dry and hazy on it - any thoughts or recommendations?
