My son is thinking about buying a used DW Craviotto snare. Anyone have any experience with this model?

These are great snares.They use a single ply of wood instead of the standard 8-10 plys.Old Slingerland Radio King snares were made the same way.Its great to have one really good snare but with the money you may be able to buy 2 snares with totally different sounds.Just depends on the type of music he plays.Again a Great snare.
Everything I have ever heard or read about the Craviotto snare is utmost quality and investment grade drums.
if it is in good shape then it will be a quallity drum.

I like the chrome hardware better.Its easier to care for and doesnt pit like the brass coated ones.Either snare would be great though.Good Luck
i would take the 5 1/2".

Thanks guys. What do you like about the 5.5, Funky? He's looking for something to use as a jazz snare, btw.

These are great drums. Something to have and use for a lifetime, and beyond.
I just got a Stool Pigeon snare drum. I don't know if he wants to stick with DW, but SP is just starting out and has snares that are awesome! I think they sound better than the Craviotto. I know the owner and talked to him, he said soon they're going to have a launching promotion where they offer a certain percentage off of orders. Their 14" snares start at $450, but with a the discount they might be about $400. You may want to check it out. www.stoolpigeondrums.com.
