I'm still sold on my 6.5 brass Black Beauty.
Decades of use and it never, ever lets me down.

Let the peanut gallery know which one you end up withI'm debating this right now. I was gonna get a Tama SLP Bold Spotted Gum because... it's the best snare I've ever tried and I managed to reserve the only one left in the area. But then I saw some good deals on B Stock Black Beauties and I don't really care that they are B Stock. Only a 100$ more than the Tama... except I've never had the chance to play one in real life (though I did own a Supraphonic and that was quite awesome)

Carpe Diem mon ami!I keep going back and forth!
But I'm thinking I'll go with the Tama, because SLPs are often limited runs and these are getting sold out everywhere with no resupply in sight (Tama is saying 2 years wait...). While there are lots of Black Beauties out there and I'm sure I can find another one when the time comes.

I can make almost any snare drum sound decent, but if I had to pick only one to use, it would probably be a Ludwig Super Sensitive Black Beauty with die cast hoops top and bottom.If you can have just one snare drum, which one would it be?
Hey that’s a great 10 lug well built drum for such a low priceIf I could only use one it would be the Taye StudioMaple snare that came with my kit. I ordered a different snare when I originally ordered the shell pack assuming the stock snare wouldn't be that good. I was wrong. That stock StudioMaple snare is a fantastic drum for a great price.
Here's one on Reverb right now.
Taye Studio Maple Java Burst | Reverb
14" by 6" sugar maple snare drum. 10 ply 75mm shell.reverb.com
I understand that you don’t want to be limited to only one snare.If I had to play only one snare drum I would play bass instead.........
Well maybe not really but still........
