Members Liverneck Posted October 12, 2002 Members Share Posted October 12, 2002 I'm thinking of getting a Conaway snare with a set & He'll custom make the snare. 10 ply snare is pretty thick. What do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members woody431 Posted October 12, 2002 Members Share Posted October 12, 2002 I use a 5x14" Gretsch 10 ply maple. Liverneck- 10 ply is kind of the 'standard' ply snare. Unless you get like a stave shell or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liverneck Posted October 13, 2002 Author Members Share Posted October 13, 2002 Dig itSounds like the 5 or 5 1/2 x 14 is pretty common. I've usually a played metal snare, so wasn't sure of a commen wood thickness...thanks Woody. Pork Pie makes a great snare, small enough to place, as a second snare, next to the hi hat and main snare. 4 x 12, kinda expensive for a side snare though...ack.

Members Magnet182 Posted October 14, 2002 Members Share Posted October 14, 2002 5 x 14 Premier XPK (birch-eucalyptus-birch) 8 x 14 Tama SuperStar (birch) The Premier I use as my main snare, very versatile. I use the Tama as a secondary snare, however I am getting used to using it more and more. It really is a powerful sound (the "8" x 14 wasn't a typo...).
