Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum, but an avid reader here. I am hoping some of you can shed some light on my dilemma...
I've definitely considered buying a Supraphonic LM402 snare and have been debating between the smooth or hammered shell as well as imperial or tube lugs. It's a bit hard to find a store that has all of the model variations available to test out. I have heard the classic imperial lug smooth shell and like it quite a bit.
But I have questions...
-Is the sound of the hammered shell much different to a smooth shell?
(I have been told that the sound is a bit dryer w/ less ring... true?)
-Has anyone had the opportunity to hear the differences between the two? Your thoughts?
-And finally, would tube lugs noticeably open up the sound more on the hammered and even the smooth shell?
Thanks in advanced for any info you guys can throw my way!
