Does it really affect the sound that much?
Cheers.
There are alot of variables involved , and I suggest doing what rm said.......take as many as posible for a test drive first to see what sounds good .
You will also need to know before-hand what sound it is youre looking for .Do you plan on playing metal ,hard rock or want something with a loud crack ,then I suggest a metal snare .If its something warm then I suggest looking for a wood snare .
Best of luck in your search ,this is definately something your own ears need to decide for you ,we can only offer up some basics .
