I'm looking into a new aluminum snare drum - 5" or 5.5" depth. The Pearl Sensitone and Tama SLP are similarly priced with a couple of differences aside from the shells themselves: 10 lugs (Pearl) vs 8 lugs (Tama) and the snare mechanism.
Does anyone have experience with either or both of these strainers?
The Pearl is the one that clips when the snares are engaged - does that affect durability at all? Is there any plastic used in that function that could break after a time?
The Tama seems like it has plastic on the tension knob but I can completely tell - plastic on these things just worries me in general as I don't trust its durability.
Would love to know what people's experiences have been. Thanks!
