Nice collection Daniboun ! and that is a surprising winner you chose..
Of all of the snares I've owned, my favorite sounding one is my 1928 Slingerland solid mahogany. Well, at least for the moment. My preference changes all the time, depending on my mood and on the gig...

Its to hard to pic a fav but since I must it has to be the 10 x 14 maple I made, just the depth and all the time I put into making it out of an old Pearl free floating snare shell.
Nice collection ! Really great.
Which is the best one ?

Snares are all different. Some work better in some applications than in others but each has it's place. I wouldn't choose one definitively without knowing where you are going to use it.
Or choose your favourite testicle? Why, I'm quite attached to both thanks...
Very interesting... My next one is a Purpleheart Segment Snare 13X7 (horizonta grain)
Ooh, very nice. How does it sound in that size? Im thinking of building another one for myself.
Revive! Bring more snare porn!
