what do you play? genre wise that is..... and what sound you are after....

[Mr Pink]

13x7 Pork Pie. I have several 13x7 snares and I love them.

[Walking-Metronome]

I play ska punk reggae, so im after a poppy deep sound (if that makes sense) The less crack the better.

Yea i found a £40 dixon piccolo 13 x 3.5 snare from like a second hand shop and played that for a while, and i got really used to the size, and then i bought an OCDP 14 x 5, and hated the sound, but to be honest im not that fussed about it being 13" or 14".

[ian1988]

ska... u'd want a higher pitched one.. so i;d vouch for the 13X7 DW!

[DxRocker]

I'ld take the 13 as well tbh

[DrumIntoTheNight]

Agreed. 13 by 7 Deedub.

[bobby__johnny]

13x7 DW...that thing just looks classy too.

[MNdrummer21]

The 13x7 seems to be the most viable option. It's size will lend itself to produce the sound you desire, and the diecast hoops will help give a more cutting rimshot.

[White Riot!]

Vintage WMP for sure! Stunner!

[Chippy569]

they're all kinda fugly.... but of those four, the 2nd (blue dw) one.


all though for ska, you'd want something shallower than 7"... try more like 13-14x5

[the_pure_drummer]

1st dw ;)

[Parradiddle Pete]

The pork pie one is the only one which is remotely as nice as the first dw...the dw is stunning

[DrummingBen]

1st one fo sho

[CombatWombat3]

Oh man, the first one is gorgeous, both finish and sizes!

[Plan B.]

i really like the Diamond Blue maple DW

BUT

giving the application the 13x7 Dee-Dubzy wants you

[Supro]

really diggin that marine pearl DW snare. Damn thats sexy.

[TheBandlehars]

I think I'm the only that likes the last pork pie the best, I dig the green-white sparkle barber pole look.

[some jive turkey]

Maybe if you're Rikki Rocket.
I think it's kind of nauseating to look at.

Good call.
