Members boxofrocks Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 Why not go for something you don't have.If you already have a 14 go for a 13, or if you use wood now go for metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members deverdog Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 go for the whatever - a Luwdig Surpaphonic for chirstmas +1,000. Can't go wrong with the classic Supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members turdadactyl Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 What do you have now? If the answer is "just an old piece of crap" then get yourself a 6x14 or 5 1/2x14 either metal or maple. Those will be the most versatile. I'd recommend the Ludwig Supra or the Pork Pie maple. If you already have something decent, consider a piccolo or an 8" deep birch for higher pop or big balls respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SkiAz4Free Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 you should think about what you want to get out of this new addition... is this a replacement of your main snare? If so, what kind of music do you play? Is this an addition to the collection? If so, then what do you already have, and how would you like to augment or differentiate the collection? We'll stear you in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members notrfk Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 +100 for the Supra. Greatest all-around snare of all time. Often imitated, never duplicated. {insert cliche here} I just got a Supra again not long ago after not having owned one for a few years and I've fallen in love all over again. Can't believe I sold the other one -- but it's easy money because there's always a market for them and I guess I needed the dough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
