Chad Smith, Dennis Chambers, Omar Hakim, but what would YOUR signature snare be???

[Lost At... SRX]

If you were a high profile Pearl endorsee, and you the opportunity to design you own signature snare, what would it be?

I'm not sure which I would pick out of these two:

James Owens Signature Snare Drum #1:

6.5"x13" 8 ply 10mm Maple shell
SuperHoop II
SR-015 strainer
8 CL-65 bridge lugs
3 air vents
Precision-fit Stainless Steel tension rods and solid Brass recievers
#102 Natural laquer
Chrome plated hardware
Fitted with Evans Genera Batter and Evans Hazy 300 snare side heads

6.5"x14" 1 ply 7.5mm Maple shell
SuperHoop II
SR-015 strainer
8 CL-65 bridge lugs
3 air vents
Precision-fit Stainless Steel tension rods and solid Brass recievers
#102 Natural laquer
Chrome plated hardware
Fitted with Evans Genera Batter and Evans Hazy 300 snare side heads

If only...

Anyway, let your imagination run wild!!

[PureRockFury]

My signature snare(s) would be a Phosphor Bronze 14x6.5 Free Floater with black hardware and all the usual hardware. The heads would be an Evans Power Center Reverse Dot (batter) and a Evans Hazy 300 Snare Side.

My second signature snare would be a 10 ply maple
14x5.5
Die-Cast Hoop on the batter and a SuperHoop II on the snare side
RL-65 BR lugs
Gladstone style strainer
Precision-fit Stainless Steel tension rods and solid Brass recievers
#100 Wine Red Gloss Fading into black
All brass hardware
Puresound snare wires
4 air vents (not like OCDP)(regular vents)

Hammered Bell Bronze 5"x13", gold hardware with tube style lugs. Die Cast hoops.

[Makor]

I know what color it would be. Beaded steel with cold hardware

[DrumYoda]

I would like a combination of a black chrome-on-brass, free floating shell with a snare mechanism like that of a Rogers Dyna-Sonic. The hardware would be either gold or satin chrome.

[Pyrotechnic]

Mine would probly be a Free Floater maple 6.5x14 but with a marching strainer with snappy wire.

...My sig snare would be a 13x5.5" brass sensitone with die cast hoops.

That is what I am currently using as my number 2 snare.

I also just picked up a used 13x3" steel shelled piccolo and I am really impressed with it. I replaced the hoops, using the super hoops that came with my sensitone. This does give the drum a more solid feel. Actually, I changed my mind. This would be my sig snare. They are priced so reasonable I would be able to throw them like frisbees into the crowd after a show.

I actually like Pearls less expensive snares more than some of their higher priced models.
