Hey guys!
So finally I saved up enough to buy my first good snare. I was checking on Supras and BBs and I have found this BB (14x6.5) from a jazz drummer friend who recently got full endorsement with Gretsch so he's selling his Ludwigs.
He gave me a good price for a BB (550 euro), the only thing that concerns me is that the snare has a big bent on it. He told me that it didn't change the sound in a bad way at all and that I'm welcomed to check it myself (which I will do when I go to my hometown to get it)
But I wanted to ask the experts here. What do you guys think? Do you think I shouldn't buy it or do you think it's not much of a problem? (aesthetically I don't have any issue with it, all I'm concerned is the sound)
Here are the photos of the snare, I appreciate any answers, thank you already!!
And here's a video of it:
P.S. there are small mods in the snare, like the hoops(die cast) and the wire are black and the throw-off has been replaced with a p-86.
