    Why All Drummers Need a 14x8 Snare...

    I LOVE the very broad spectrum of sound in the snares I have chased for 5 years now, from 10x6.2 to 14x8's, and everything in between (though never a fan of 15"/16" widths or 9/10" depths)... currently gotta great 14x8 Ludwig raw hammered bronze, and the most musical snare I have ever heard in...

    What Is a "Woody" Tone?

    certainly Tama Star solid mahogany is woody, Tama Star bubinga is MR Wood, and most purpleheart snares, jatoba, or wandoo, padauk stave snares, in my experience... when a snare sound hits your ears and heart as if you're hitting a wood block or hammering on a fence plank, then to me that's...

    TAMA Rosewood 50th snares - how many?

    just heard from TAMA USA - said they don't give out production numbers...not very helpful and not sure that's actually true since I've owned a 40th anniversary bubinga/birch snare that was 15 of 30 made. and I read somewhere that someone read (ha - rumors?) that there were 20 made of the 50th...

    TAMA Rosewood 50th snares - how many?

    except for DW (within a few days), when I write to a major drum company, no replies are the norm - ESPECIALLY Ludwig.

    TAMA Rosewood 50th snares - how many?

    Anybody know for sure how many worldwide (or at least US) TAMA 50th rosewood snares, 5x14 and 6.5x14, are made? I know from 3 shops they are limited as to how many THEY can order, but no one is able to tell me how many are made total in each depth?

    HHX and AAX together?

    oh yeah, good point man these things are so subjective, I realize… just was looking for a little guidance and it makes sense about the B20 match

    HHX and AAX together?

    this gives me permission then to buy that Paiste 16” rude crash that I loved so much in the 80s… just afraid my sabians might be a little jealous

    HHX and AAX together?

    Struggling through getting a right sounding 16" to play well with my Sabian AAX 22" Omni ride, 18" AAX xplosion crash, 17" AAX fast xplosion crash - those 3 of course sound great together (they're glassy with a long straight decay) but I wanted something a bit different than another 16" AAX...

    What about a solid mahogany snare

    its more pricey but my TAMA Star solid African mahogany 14x6 is a keeper - distinct sound.

    why buy a fiberglass snare...and which one?

    went for the 5.75" depth and it sounds great - got more meat/body than I expected. Nicely done JM fiberglass snare

    14x5” or 7” N&C solid walnut snare?

    thanks everyone for very helpful replies, 7" depth gives more versatility me thinks so 7" it is. N&C so well made.

    14x5” or 7” N&C solid walnut snare?

    which depth do you think better suits and best brings out the sound of a solid walnut shell? 5” or 7”? I play primarily indie, pop rock, fusion
