Looking for a solid new Snare Drum

[CaptainWaits]

I don't have many specifics, just a snare drum that would sound good for both metal and grooves, and last a long time. And a good snare drum, price isn't really an issue, though nothing ridiculously expensive. Suggestions! Thanks in advance!

[bobby__johnny]

no issue but reasonable?

look into a Mapex Black Panther. amazing drums, decent prices. look into the maple drums if your looking for an all around performer.

[Zildjian]

Tama Artwood. Best snare for the price, and better then some costing $100 more

[Panopticon]

I just got a Ludwig Black Beauty. It's good for literally EVERYTHING.

If you can find a cheap one BUY IT.

Black Panther as well.

[ant_182]

Seriously, look at the Black Panthers. I find them AmAzInG. aND great value!

[CaptainWaits]

[ant_182]

Black Panther, look into their metal ones actually. I think you might find what you are looking for there.

[Panopticon]

After hearing almost every black panther...i can honestly say, the Black Beauty BLOWS it out of the water...honestly...ebay it...They're AMAZING.

EDIT: But if you can't find one...get a BP, they're the next best thing...

*owns 2*

[Dave*Grohl]

Go BP or Artwood because Im doing that!:D

I havent figured out which one to pick yet....and Im not sure if I should pick a steel bp...they all sound so sweet....artwoods are cheaper....might get one because of that

[Parradiddle Pete]

Peace make some pretty nice snares which won't break the bank. I love peace drums :)

Also look into the black beauty, i trust ETP with my life :)

Pork Pie BOB...14 X 6 1/2...Black Beauty shell, tube lugs...will tear your face off with great love...also very sensitive..Guitar Center for like $299.99 me thinks. I have a Ludwig BB of the same size and I can tell no difference between the two.

[Panopticon]

Pics of your black beauty?

I just got a 14x6.5 and i have no idea how to change the reso head or snares. My cam is dead too so i can't take pics:(

or artwoods are nice

or black panthers.



or actually, the PDP snares are kinda all right,

[Panopticon]

No i mean Black Beauty. That's why i said "If you can find a cheap one"

I just got one for $200

[MeaninglessPhoto]

DW Edge snares are nice as hell. Kinda pricey and a bit on the heavy side, but great snares nonetheless.

[bobby__johnny]

all snares are heavy :P

i wouldnt mind a DW Solid Shell.

[maniac0796]

[CaptainWaits]

I ended up going with a Black Panther 14x5.5. I've tuned it up, and did some toilet paper dampening and it sounds awesome :).

Thanks for the help.

[\m/-CHeV-\m/]

Tama artwood, Pork Pie acrylic, or Black Panther.

[Doublebasssabian]

Nice. Get some pics up soon.

[ant_182]

Steel,aluminum....?

[ant_182]

brass? bronze? hammered?

[Naty_morris]

The drummer from my band has the hammered brass Black pantha and it is insane, i can honestly say that at many small venues it never needs a mic, so loud and punchy.

I also have a BP deep forest cherry maple snare, i wudnt trade that for can create many different sounds with it.

[ant_182]

I have the hammered phosphus bronze!
