Anybody playing these? I'm thinking about building a kit around my Elvin Jones snare drum and want some feedback from you folks. I don't know if the kit will be maple or birch.

As the new owner of a Stage Custom Advantage kit, I can only dream of owning Absolutes one day!
When I saw one of the high-end Yamaha's (a Maple Custom) in a store recently it looked beautiful. My guess is that you couldn't go wrong with Yamaha's top shelf gear. |

| I just ordered a Yamaha Maple custom Absolute 5.5x14 snare with die cast hoops and black sparkle finish. Can't wait to get it. |

I will, My current pic's are up in the dog house pic thread, page 10. I'm adding quite a bit to my kit so i'll be posting new pic's when everything comes in. Unfortunately the Gibraltar Rack I ordered is on back order so I won't have that until mid April, bummer. |

Yamaha Maple Absolute 7x14 Sounds excellent.
The pics didn't come out to great. Once I figure out theis new camera I'll get some better ones. |

| BEAUTY snare, Premier. Nice purchase. You went with the 7x14" rather than the 5.5x14"? Any particular reason? More bottom end? |

Yeah more bottom end is nice, but the main reason is it was going to take 3 months for me to get a 5.5x14 in the black sparkle finish. Any way I already have my Premer birch 5.5x14 and the Pearl steel 5.5x14
By the way this snare is loudddddddd. |

Hey Premier, that is one very nice snare. I love the lugs on that model drum. Have fun with it! |
