Hi guys,

Need your advice for a making a fast choice between these snares :

1- Radioking Slingerland 2003 edition (Serial 51760/ Modèle RKS5514) Single Ply Maple (Steambent) with Puresound wire 14x5.5

2- Highwood handmade in UK, Single Ply Cairo Walnut + Maple Reinforcement rings, Phosphore wire 14x5.5

I love both and the price is pretty the same...
Would you go for ??? Please help...




 
While I cannot comment on the build or sound of either... That Highwood snare looks absolutely gorgeous. Which one sounds better to your ear?
 
Hi guys,

Thanks for your help. I'll wait a week before taking any decision.
Since I can't test those snares, it's pretty hard to make a choice.

See ya
 
I would take a walnut solid shell over a maple any day of the week. I much prefer the sonic properties of walnut over maple.
