I almost don't understand why matching snares are even included in a lot of sets. I'd be willing to guess that probably 90% of drummers use mismatched snares. If I were a drum company exec looking to streamline costs, I'd suggest not including a matching snare. Make that something you have to order. I just got a Sonor Players kit for 450 US that came with a matching snare. Of course I'm not going to use it. Why even include it? I also just got a Yamaha Gigmaker set (not recommended) that came with a matching snare. Anybody want them?
err Larry you have the Rolls Royce of drums that comes with their own Swami (ie Guru ) and then you bought Yammies begginer set (Gigmaker) and wonder why you dont like it !!
I started with Gigmakers, reheaded them and they sounded fine, but if I did it round the other way ....well I think folks would be a thinkin I was pulling their Larry-at....
Heres a picture I found of you trying to "rope" a diffrent snare to first ( or perhaps most recent) drum purchase
