 Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2007 12:52 am Post subject: Which Snare? |
 |
|
Hey everyone i need some help deciding which snare drum i should buy. I've got about £300 ($590) to spend so i want one that will last. I play rock/heavy metal so i want something loud lol. I'm pretty sure that all you guys in the US are pretty lucky because everything i've seen on musicians friend is a lot cheaper than i can get it in the UK. So any suggestions would be very appreciated. Thanks, Luke

Luke.
Look at only1music.co.uk
If you're willing to stretch your budget by 50 or so quid, you can get a Pearl Masters MMX 6.5 inch deep snare.
I bought one myself when they had a major sale. It's loud and responsive - a beautiful snare drum.

Above is just one of the one's they've got going - or call them to discuss.
Unfortunately i'm in Essex, so going down to the cardiff store would be a a*s, but they're great on the phone, and delivery is always 7 quid. |

The perfect snare for you is the one Mapex just released -- the Black Panther Solid Steel. This thing is an animal. I'm not sure if it's available in the UK, but I hope so.
