There simply is no substitute for the 402 supra. apparently the recording industry also thinks that way as well. I have seen numerous pictures of Steve Gadd with his endorsed Yamaha's with a supra on the snare stand. And on top of that he has a signiture snare from Yamaha. If you wanted a supra then I would save and get that because like I said, there really is no substitute.
Never heard of the Ludalloy. I guess that's why it has its own distict sound over other metal snares. The Pearl I have pictured is steel. They do make an aluminum version but it is not chromed. I got to play a brass version and I didn't care for it.(at least compared to the Ludwig). I think I will go with my gut, spend the extra cash and get the Ludwig. Besides, you got to love that snare drum sound that John Bonham, Nick Mason and Simon Kirke had.
