How much is 400EUR's in USA dollars?
I am a guitarist and play drums to support my guitar playing. Have been playing drums on and off for 10 years. I have a Yamaha Rydeen 5 piece drum kit and Istambul Mehmet Samatya 4 piece cymbal set in my studio. I would like to upgrade the snare drum to a metal shell snare drum. I record mostly rock, blues and pop. Is there any good snare drums on a budget so I would not have to spend as much as a Supraphonic or Black Beauty?
I was looking a the Yamaha recording custom (500 EUR) series but the price is very close to the Supraphonic (650EUR) and the Black Beauty (1000EUR) is even more expensive. Other alternatives is the black panther (400EUR) which is at the limit I would like to spend before I just give up and get a Ludwig. Second hand market here is next to non-existent. The Tama Sound lab (300EUR) seems to be a good priced, but how does it sound? Any other recommendations for a snare drum?

My immediate reaction is go find a used Acro in a pawn shop.
But I have a suspicion that option isn't available in Euro.

Used acrolite vs new supralite?
Iv been playing a Yamaha recording custom Aluminum 14x6.5 for the last year and it has slowly replaced every other snare I have.
Acrolites are cheap and sound great.
Zack, I'm not sure if you know Michael who has not been around for awhile has quite the collection of snares. If you can recall he had them posted on the floor and sofa at his home a few years ago. He is some kind of musical salesman.

Seems like I should look into importing a used Acrolite. Is the Black Galaxy Acrolite just as good as the regular Acrolite or does the coating ruin the drum?
