Since the DW and Supralites were mentioned, I have to point out that the Tama black steel 14x8 is a decent deal and a good sounding snare, too.

I've always been on the hunt for bargains, and have definitely read about how little people like those PDP wood snares. I've asked about Pro M/birch Mapex as well and was told they are only OK. I had that same Tama snare and could. not. sell it. It got to the point that I was finding it super...

I wouldn't pay top dollar for it (I'm cheap and might want something different) but is it a rare color? Midrange/pro Gretsch IMO doesn't say to me 'bad investment'. Can I get different drums of similar quality for less if I'm flexible on things like color and age? Yes, I assume so.

Did we discuss your price range? Why not try a seamless Tama steel? The inexpensive ones tend to be labeled Swingstar and Imperialstar (there are othersas well) and can be found for $100ish. If you love it, you can explore if the fancier ones do the thing you like (King Beat and Powerline = more...

For all of the stables of brass/aluminum 12-13-14-all depths...I would much rather have a 15" than a 13" (I have 14s and a 12") and also would rather add a 15" (and a 16") before another metal snare, or a 14" piccolo, or any number of options. It's horses for courses, obviously, but when...

I always think a 58 is a better snare choice (or even some non Shure mics...) because of the ball grill. The Sm48 is also a good budget option, I've seen those as low as $29.99. Just my 4 cents.

I think 12-16 is perfectly valid and kinda that it should be more popular. I feel like I read Clyde Stubblefield used either 12 or 16 on a Ludwig for Funky Drummer and/or other JB hits.

Strainer upgrade/install/review putting Ludwig P88 on MPX 14x8 snare.

Yup this, and some of the cheaper lines of Meinl (not necessarily current) have caught my ear for not sounding terrible. Its also a great way to see if it gets used.

Similar, but is the large hammering an only an AAX trait?

I tried to get a better picture of the hammering:

My other two cymbals I plan to sell are a 16 AAX and AA X-Plosion, both nearly 400g lighter.

I got this in trade, I am currently selling a few cymbals and would love to know what this is. I was told it is an AAX Stage Crash, if memory serves, but looking online, a 16 would weigh maybe 1100g, and my kitchen scale puts this closer to 1400. Any insight as to hammering or if that is a...

State Farm specifically insures individual possessions (the product name escapes me but its personal items or something) based on the value on receipt or appraisal. I work in insurance but this is not my realm of expertise...but I am always available should you have any questions, if I can point...

Also a nice area, I have friends from Wayne.

Tenafly? Cresskill? Upper Saddle River? Alpine? I grew up in Tenafly so people there being gross is funny to me. I think cold bacon sounds just fine, but I am not the one who had to eat it. Def been the owner of a bus stop cigarette, another rider thanked me for lighting it as the bus came...

I rarely tell someone to buy twice, but as the owner of a $20 bass drum, I think this is quite good advice.

Ditto, it has the Ringo look. I would not be able to resist a matching snare for this, even if it means wrapping a non Ludwig or rewrapping a snare you will not devalue, etc.

M2, M2.5, or M3 screws could fit, T pins also would probably work.

Make sure to wax it, you can use a candle, old Chapstick etc.
