Hello,
I recently made a thread discussing an Odery Eyedentity Bubinga snare that I was planning on buying. That is until I stumbled upon a Yamaha Musashi snare.
Now, I know you can't compare them.
But still, I'd like your help making this decision.
The Bubinga snare is:
-14''x6,5''
-8 ply Bubinga shell
-2.3mm hoops
-Throw off with 4 positions!
The Musashi:
-13''x6,5''
-7 Ply Oak Shell
-Triple Flanged hoops
-Throw off not so good!
-It's 2nd hand, but it has better value since it's a Yamaha (incase I wanna sell it).
I play Jazz/World and Funk music.
Some questions that are on my mind about the Musashi:
- I know it has pop, and thats what attracts me about it the most. But does it have body?
Can you get a good sound in lower tunings?
- How does it do played with lower dynamic? Is it responsive?
- Are the hoops 2.3mm?
Some factors that are making me consider the Musashi is the fact that its a Yamaha and its value wond decrease as much as it will on the Odery. This is incase I want to trade it for another later on, since I'm always switching gear.
One thing that makes me excited about the Musashi as well, it that I can take it as sort of a project. Putting some puresound snares, wood hoops, new throw off.. Oh man..
All the things that are missing in the snare that I'm sure would make it a top of the line one.
The Odery looks and sounds great, althought the lug splay makes me have second thoughts. Also, if I buy it, it will be new.
Sorry for the boring text, but I'm in need of some advice! I won't be able to stop thinking about it until I finally pull the trigger.
