Good Steel Snare for Metal?

I would think that you'll be hard pressed to get something decent... even used for less than $200. $300 may be a more realistic figure. And I just don't equate the aluminum shelled drums with a big sound. I've played many snares that had bigger sound than Supras and Acros. They're sorta middle of the road. Brass is probably going to do the trick for you. For a little less than $300, you can get a new WorldMax Black Dawg/Hawg from George's.

I dont own a sensitone but have played them before several times. I think they are one of the MOST underrated snares for the money out there. I play a 6.5x14 supra from chicago and it is definately middle of the road. BUT I have heard people coax enough sound from them with the right heads, tuning, sticks, and attitude. But my supra is used for a lot of other genre's than metal. I am just as apt to play a pop rock song as I am a funk, or metal song. So versatility is the name of the game for me. My other snares are too one dimensional .... 5" vistilite tequila sunrise, 6.5" sonor ferro snare, 3" pearl maple piccolo free floater, several shells to substitute (brass,acrylic,copper) but none cover more ground than my supra.

hrm. All of the steel and aluminum snares I've played were fine for metal - I'm currently favoring my Blackrolite. Even a CB POS (cranked for discord without muffling - St. Anger style). Crank it, tune it, and hit it like it burned dinner.
