I have a gig coming up for old school punk (X-ray Specs, The Bags, etc.) and British glam rock (Bowie's Ziggy stuff). Any objects to using a Pearl Omar Hakim 5x13 mahogany snare? I've been using this snare just out of convenience during practice, and it sound nice and tight and focused (I have it tuned medium-high to high with Aquarian Focus-X coated head).
I'm concerned it may be a tad too poppy, though. Of course, I could tune it differently, or should I just use an old reliable 6.5x14 brass or aluminum snare instead?
