Members cearleywine Posted August 12, 2012 Members Share Posted August 12, 2012 same one I used to own. The maple shell is apparently the same that DW uses. Great drum, I just didn't like how big the diameter is. I should of posted it here for sale, I let it go for only $125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members drumsdb Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 I've played this snare and it's pretty good for the price. However, I've suggested to a lot of people a better (IMO), cheaper option. If you have a maple snare you like already, just order the maple hoops. You can get them from several sites now for about $50-75 a set. That saves you from having to buy another drum... AND you can use the hoops with any snare you own to really find the best combination. Caveat! You may have to buy longer tension rods too... keep that in mind. DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 10-ply drum with re-rings and die-cast hoops and it's actually too loud for 95% of the gigs I play at present (was phenomenal when I was in harder rock bands, though). Any chance wood hoops would somewhat soften or tame the sound? Or will it add focus/clarity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance wood hoops would somewhat soften or tame the sound? Or will it add focus/clarity? I don't think maple hoops are going to diminish the volume of your drum very much. That's more related to the shell itself than the hoops. That being said, I think it may help control ringing/overtones that may allow you play a bit softer and still get a good tone out of the drum. I don't personally use them very much in general (as I still play a lot of hard rock :-). I personally like wood hoops for cross sticks more than anything else. That being said, I am considering adding them to a stave drum I just put together. DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members manoeuver Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 I had one. It may not fit in your snare stand so be cognizant of that. Didn't use it much. Seemed well-built enough. I usually play metal snares so this one was just not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
