If u could have one snare, whaat would it be?

[super_evill]

If i could have any snare, i would wanta Tama Lars Ulrich signature Bell Brass snare ($2,399.99)

[MikeB]

Is this if we could have our dream snare or if we could only use one snare for life?

[ab]

8x14 dunnett titanium snare with titanium hoops, flame engraving pattern, powdercoated red with alternating red/orange/yellow flames.

price: approx. $1405

[rockdrummer00]

for gigs I would get a 7x12" or 7x13" 25 ply OCDP maple snare,with black powdercoated hoops,with the word "koЯn vented into it(it may sound dumb to you but I like the idea)...and the color would be black serpentene(spelling) with 50% off set lugs...but for my kit at home when I'm not giging(when I'm in a band,lol)I would get that same thing,except it wouldent be vented and it would be chrome...

[cp999]

tama bell brass

[JonathanAKAgod]

Titanium Ocheltree. . .there's no such thing. . .but the bronze snare i have is so heavy. . .and is not non heavy duty snare stand friendly. i'd love for ocheltree to make me a new titanium snare. did you all know that the dunnett 6.5x13 titanium snare weighs in at just over a pound? 1.265 to be exact i believe. . .compare that to the almost 30 pound snare i use.

[Scotty Mc]

erm................

I dunno to be honest, maybe a birch piccolo with mastercast-style hoops. To many to think of!!!

this is your dream snare:D

[MikeB]

Well, since its the next snare I am going to but it would be this...

Pearl Masterworks 14x5 6 ply maple shell in Ocean Sparkle w/ MasterCast hoops, Multi-Timbre snare strainer and all of this in Satin Hardware.

[drumwerker]

Masters Series Symphonic Custom would do it for me. I'd probably go for the 6.5" depth. Then I could take the two grand I saved NOT buying the Lars Ulrich and buy a Masters Series drumset to keep it company. :D

I'm sure the Tama is a fantastic drum, but for $2400 I would want Lars to deliver it personally and set it in the snare stand for me.

[dRuTcH]

Steve Ferell Sig. or Kenny Arranof(sp??????) sig.

[Jake]

UltraCast 14x5. Best allround snare I've played.

[Human Paper Cut]

The new Mapex Bell brass snare, but at the price it runs for, I'd want Neil Pert and Chad Smith to arrive at my house in a stretch limo, put the snare drum in my hands, and then tell me what a great guy I am. :D

[newark_snare]

id probably go with the DW solid maple shell with the brass lugs and stuff. list price is like $949.00. and i think the name of the drum is craviotto, correct me if`im wrong. but its a sweet *** drum.

[super_evill]

kool...

[Dex]

At over two grand for a snare drum it'd better come with someone to play it for me.

Hey, I think we stumbled onto a great marketing strategy!

[jmr1599]

they have one of those at the local music store it looks so cool

[SLIPKNOT1]

The local GC here has an Ulrich Bell Brass for $1,500 and Midwest has them for $1,559.00.

[Monday317]

I think the Pearl Philharmonic 1-ply maple in walnut stain, with tube lugs would be an absolute gas to own.

Come on, what's the fun in that?

[Dex]

None. Neither is paying two grand for one drum. I gots to draw the line somewhere.

[Beattimyer]

Too many to list... just an idea though, 13x6 Titanium Dunnett snare with the single flange hoops. 14x5.5 Kepplinger Steel Snare with wood hoops, 14x5.5 Yamaha Bamboo Snare with wood hoop on top, 14x6.5(it might be the 6 i forget) Edge Snare, 13x5 Bronze Udrum snare, 13x5 Black Beauty Rip-off Black Brass snare drum, 14x5.5 Mapex Hand Hammered Phosphor Bronze snare, o and ya know what the list just goes on and on, including a variety of different woods, synthetics, and metals...

Out of all suggested there, next on the list...14x5.5 Yamaha Bamboo Snare.

[Johnny_Sawyer]

I wouldn't mind having the Pearl Eric Singer Signature snare drum.
Nice & Bright, good quality shell, very cool looking finish.

[Ambion]

ocheltree bronze 14x7 snare. or yamaha maple absolute in the same size.

[Oak]

Besides a variety, a Slingerland solid steam bent 5x14.
SOLID!

www.symbiontmusic.com

[purity]

Maybe not the one I want the most but I'll take a Spirit snare drum. Beautiful drums carved out of solid Ironwood.
http://www.spiritdrums.com/snare/newrange/img_range/13x6b.jpg I would also like a spirit of 2002
http://photos.imageevent.com/drumaholic/ebayii//Jeff%20Ocheltree%20drum.JPG

[jonesie196]

ocdp vented in a type III finish

[Drumming Hobo]

Out of the many I would have:
DW Edge (w/ a craviatto center)
Ocheltree Phantom Steel
Some MW snare
FFX with blue acrylic
Any innovation percussion snare (these bad boys list at around $5000)

[Carpe Diem]

hi I would really like on of mike portnoy's sig snares. but for my b'thday in 1 month from today i am getting a chad smith snare. i really like them they are a great snare in my opinion

[Mr. Possibility]

hmm, I would have to get a 13x7 10 or 20 ply maple, black hardware, with a 'peacock' wrap, that would kick.
a good metal snare would be nice, and the Stewart Copeland signature, it rocks

[AntiConformist]

i'll second the 14x7 brass ocheltree

[zilflight]

havnt heard too many really awesome or expensive snares, but I heard an ultracast in the last few days and it really sounded like the perfect snare. not sure if it was 5 or 6.5, but I think I would rather have the depth of a 6.5. it was really quite a killer sounding snare, but it may have been partly because of who was playing it.

[giantmink]

7 1/2" x 12" Dunnett with a powdercoated Green Finish. Triple Flange Hoops, and the logo lasered into it. With a Remo Coated Emperor and an Ambassador snare side head, possibly Puresound snare wires. Man... that would be my heaven!

[Blank]

Prolly an OCDP of some kind and a 5x13" Phantom Steel from Ocheltree.

[led1234]

Lars Ulrich signature Bell Brass Snare. *Wipes drool off chin*:D

[baggio]

I think I'd like to try a Yamaha Bamboo 5/14 snare drum,. looks very distinctive, (even though I USUALLY don't like natural wood finish!) and from what Ive heard they sound solid, warm and very unique...yep..that'll do for me!

....ciao'....Baggio.................

[Wickerman]

IS Paiste's snare or Zildjian made one in mid to late eighties.. they are hard to find and sound amazing

[Fixxxer]

That is why you but a Big Boy custom drum

__x12 is about $225 in wrap or Satin, $250 in a Laquor, $310 in any kind of custom finish

powdercoating - $75 bucks
Offset - free




its a MUCH MUCH MUCH better deal than the OCDPs, they just won't do the psychoticly stupid **** (10ply is their thickest, and i don't think they vent) because they have class

[Dex]

Yar, but at the time I was talking about the Tama Bell Brass Snare.

I'm amazed to see anyone not famous and endorsed playing one.

not really, because a dream snare allows for a totaly new snare not offered. like my dream snare might be a 6 ply cardboard snare with strips of trash bag as the snare wires.

Calling peoples ideas "Psychoticly stupid ****" is not cool. And wait and see where Big Boy, Masters Of Maple, Conaway, etc are in 5 years. They are budget priced, have alot less options and are not the same quality as MRP, OCDP, GMS, Ayotte, etc.

And what the hell does "and i don't think they vent because they have class" Mean????

[2 basses4life]

my original 1965 slingerland 14x5 birch snare with oak reinforcing rings
a rogers dyna-sonic wood snare same dimensions
a 13x5 ocdp 15or 20 ply
10x 4 ocdp 10 ply

[2 basses4life]

means he's 12

[2 basses4life]

why do people hate on this compant so much i mean there are worse guys to pick on

Because (no offense) they're trendy, and to some people, trendy=****.

Personally, I'd like to actually PLAY a drum before I call it crap, but maybe that's just me...........:cool:

[drumer31]

mine would be a maple 20 ply with lime green satin flame and glow hardware for the rims and lugs oh and the top rim would be die cast with the bottom being 2.3 rim. aswell as 42 strand snares and would have my bands logo as the vent:D

[2 basses4life]

same here dex , but pork pies are trendy too. a lot of your blink like bands are playin' pork pies and noone *****es. what about all those big corporate endorsed drummers out there, go pick on the "guys who wanna sound like other guys in thatband" people
(no offense) like pearl or yamaha or tama players who's sets minus there finishes, sound the same. no one picks on dw either. ever since they decided to build there own shell s, there quality control has **** the bed. i've been told buy a couple high end costum shops that they see tons of business from dw owners getting there edges re-cut out of the box!!!

i've never heard anyone say bad thing about ocdp(as far quality goes) , even from other costum shops.

you people need to get off the band wagon , if you hate the bands that play ocdp like blink, go hate them (i do) but dont hate the drums .:D


oh dex, by the way LARS ULRICH endorses the tama bell brass snare i think he was one there first:D

[Dex]

Personally, I don't really care one way or the other for OCDP drums. I'd need to hear on to judge (and I don't mean on a record that has been mixed etc).

Nothing gets past Slip huh?OCDP internet defender til the end.Anyway I'd get the Lars Ulrich signature and then sell it and get a couple Dunnetts or Bradys.6x10" and a 7x12".Sweet.

I don't know.

[2 basses4life]

[2 basses4life]

yes.. there is more than one the snare you see here is diamond plate steel (floor material). his other sig. snare is bell brass . if i get a picl, i'll post it.

[2 basses4life]

yhis is the best i could do.

[Frederick Spahn]

Hi guys!

My absolutely favorite is the Chad Smith snare. I'm going to buy it in the coming summer. It's a cool snare looking very fantastic (I mean the incredible black nickel finish). And it sounds great, too.
I can't wait to the moment I play it firts time at home :D

Cheers Freddy

[Patrik_CZX]

I would like the Tama Bell Brass PL565 with 3mm shell and Bell brass hoops! Unfortunally expensive as hell. :/
In fact the successor of my current snare, a Tama Bell Brass BB156..

[Alex Hellner]

i recently tried out a couple EDGE snares by DW, and they have a pretty good overall sound... and the best rimshots i've ever heard!

they sound really good, perfect compromise between wood and metal. (the shell is brass/maple/brass, so it sounds pretty warm, yet has plenty of crack too.)

i'd probably get a 6x13" one

[ROBB283DT]

DW craviotto are the most musically satifying snares I have ever played. I would definitely get one of those if I could afford it.

[rjx]

Bison 5.5" x 14", 8 lug, NGU, Blue Sparkle, RR

[jonesie196]

probally an ocdp vented snare in custom flame painting price...godknows$$$$$$
or probally a spun split snare in anti-freeze only because i think there diffrent

[YUFdrummer]

OCDP 20 ply vented 14X6.5, offset lugs, nickel throwoff, silver sparkle with candy apple red sparkle powdercoating (I have actually just started saving for it)

[Chucky]

Tama StarClassic G Maple - Ordered one should be here a few weeks...

[Alex Hellner]

that tama snare looks pretty nice, let's hear about its specs eh?

[Chucky]

Originally posted by Alex Hellner

Specs....

The Starclassic Maple snare is the result of years of research to develop a high quality, professional snare drum - both sonically and visually. However, because we consistently strive to improve our product line with unique elements and options, our pursuit of innovative drum sounds did not end there. Input we've received from a variety of drummers, combined with expert craftsmanship and technology, has led to the newest addition to TAMA's Starclassic family: the STARCLASSIC G MAPLE snare.

This drum features carefully selected maple wood, molded 13ply/10mm thick. Shell depths of 6" and 8" create a rich sustain and a punchy, powerful sound. The outer ply quilted maple and the hand-set abalone inlay add a stunning finishing touch.

The "Starclassic" name itself symbolizes TAMA's ongoing effort to provide drummers with solid, cutting-edge drum sounds. The STARCLASSIC G MAPLE is the newest drum to bear this prestigious name.
Starclassic G Maple wins 1st Prize in the Snare Drum Olympics!

[rockdrummer00]

awesome avatar you have there chucky,how did you get that zildjian hat on the picture?

[Karup]

I would have my own signature snares made by tama, a 6.5x14 Maple/Birch/Maple shell with a 3 way positioning throw-off, single flanged satin chrome die cast zinc hoops, one piece lugs (satin chrome), 10-lugs for more tuning capabilities, and in Emerald green sparkle. Also available in Sonic blue w/black hardware, Stripper red w/matte black hardware, and Black sparkle w/gold hardware. Also available in 4mm Brass...

Put the hat on Chucky and took a picture with a digital camera. Reduced to 70 x 70 in Adobe PhotoShop and loaded it.

What the hell?! Does that even exist?

[Geno121]

I'd probably pick the Paiste Spirit of 2002, it's made out of recycled Paise 2002 cymbals and is in teamwork with Jeff Ocheltree. Also, Carter Beauford used to use it and it sounds amazing!

[cantonfootball73]

no no no the portnoy snare it has 3 settings for the chain

I hate the way those sound...especially on that last Creed single...One Last Breath I think the name is.

They sound so much like wood.

Sorry to dog your choice, but I just don't see what special about them sound-wise.:) :)

[newresolve1]

OCDP 15 ply birch, 5.15x13, Black Fade over Tamo, Black Chrome hardware, Nickle works strainer. Ambassador heads on both sides.

Well, I guess. I just remember on that recording (Creed) that snare was so, just, NOT cool that you could hear the sympathetic buzz, right on the song!

But my biggest bone to pick with those is that they sound SO much like a wood snare! There is a difference...but enough to justify like a $2,000 difference?

Oh well. I just don't see the hype about them.

[Alex Hellner]

love the sound of super woody sounding wood snares, but i also like metal snares, so i tend to prefer the extremes of both sides and i wouldn't buy one that supposed to be a 'compromise' sounding drum, just my opinion. Although i have tried out the spirit of 02 and it sounded pretty good IMO.

[4thelementdrummer]

OCDP 6x14 20 ply maple, with two 1" vents, red to black fade and black hoops, nicklework strainer, and my name on it

I may be getting something like that within the next year;)

[YAMAYD09]

Anything but mine

[joeythedrummer]

My dream snare would be this:

Pearl 13x6 1/2" Maple or Aluminum Free Floating snare with Mastercast hoops and the multi timbre snare strainer.

I wonder if Pearl is considering the 13" Free Floater snares.
