new snare drum

[skidrumbum]

i am sill using a pos snare that came with my kit about 7 years ago and i want to make a small upgrade. unfortuanly i only have 200$american and i was wondering waht an good snare would be for me. i play punk/rock/pop stuff in a band and like a good tight pop to my snare.
i was thinking mabey acrylic?
thanks for any help:chug:

Pork Pie Piglites are $200.

well, tight pop screams metal, no?

i would suggest looking into the Tama metal snares, like the Metalworks steel snare is in and under your price range i believe

[Mirror.Circuit]

yeah,either metal or piglites.
piglites are quite lovely for 200$

Try looking for Ludwig Acrolites on eBay. You can find some cheap ones for under $100, and they are incredible drums.

They are metal.

also check out the ludwig supra phonic, its what i have, and it is an amzing drum, may be a bit pricy for you, but i got a good deal, $250 new at my music store, so you might be able to get a good deal too.

yea i was looking at the piglight or something like that. are acrylic shells good for this style of drumming? anyone have one?

[ofDooM]

acrylic snares would suit your style well.
