DD, I've got a Gretsch Catalina maple snare that is 14x7, and it's got the stock head on it (Remo UT, coated). I really haven't decided where to go on the heads for this kit, but I am leaning towards Remo Ambassadors, coated. When I sat down and played the Catalina maple kit at the music store, I fell in love with the kit, because of the sound of the snare. It pops, but still has a bit of low tone to it. I love it.

thanks pb. i may have to look into that one, (i have a chance for a free snare form my pops) by any chance have you played with a deeper one? say a 8 x 14 or 10x14 (i know dw makes one but i have never seen or heard it.)

No, I'm a relative newbie - started playing a kit in March - so I have limited experience with the various snares. I have heard the 14X5 in birch, and mixed woods (Yamaha), and I thought they were OK, but when I heard the Catalina maple with the extra depth, I thought it was about the greatest sound I had ever heard. I'm sure there will be other snares that I will experience, but this one will be the one I judge all other by!

allright i will definatly look into that one. if only there was giant room with every possible snare and cybol that we can try till we find the perfict one. that would make this so much easyer

Orange County Drums makes the sweetest snares on the planet (IMO). The nicest one I've ever heard was a sixteen ply maple 6X14 with no vents.

well i havent played with a whole lot. but if you want to stick with pearl then i would say the joey jordinson sig. not because its his sig but becase its a power picalo. it has the high pop and crack of a picalo but some solid power, if you dont then maybe the tama star classics those are fun i got to play with one yesterday at music village you can tune it to a high and tight, you can tune it low and rattley, popy, cracky, whatever you want. its a good snare.

I'm fond of wood snares particulary. Doesn't matter to me as much the brand of snare drum as long as it's high quality. I can usually get it to sound good. I mostly use Remo coated emporers on the top and Remo ambassadors snare side for the bottom.
have any of you ever used the spaun vented acrilc? i heard good things about them but cant find anyware that carrys them around hear.

I have a snare made by SMD... Its 14" x 6.5", 10 ply mapel with several 1" holes in the shell. It sounds great, and its so loud it rarely needs mic'ing.

I like a lot of snares, but my favorite is the Spring Snare, I like to watch the little guy run through the snare, disengage the trigger bar and then watch as it’s flung off the ground. But that’s just me………
Please, stop yelling at us. Its hurting my ears!Originally Posted by PHROGGE
I like snares with a nice loud POP to them. If you listen to Primus at all, thats what I like to hear.
Side note: I have the regular Pearl Export snare that came w/ my set, but recently one of my boys stuck a couple pieces of chalk into the vent hole in the side.. so now I get a little rattle effect when I hit it. Kinda cool soundin
