Is that, being constantly surrounded by top of the line gear, it's hard to not give in to temptation every now and again.
I've been thinking about getting a deep snare for a while now, and have saved up enough for a DW 14x7 10+6 X-Shell Maple snare, and would have ordered one this week... until yesterday. We had a 14x6.5 Pearl Reference wood snare show up at the shop. It was pretty much love at first sight. I tuned it up and was blown away by how big and powerful, yet sensitive and articulate this drum was. It spent about an hour on the floor before I decided it was coming home with me.
14" x 6.5" Pearl Reference 14 ply Maple + 6 ply Birch snare drum in Granite Sparkle.
Enjoy.
As a side note this is about the only sparkle finish I've seen that I truly like.
