      Hi Joey!

      I don't remember my password or what email address I used for drummer5359 here, so I needed to pick a new name. I'm still drummer5359 everywhere else.

      Stop by D-W and say "Hi".

            So you not only have an addiction, you are very organized about it.

                  The Supraphonic is the most versatile of my metal snares. If I were only going to own two snares it would be a Supra phonic and one of my single ply maple drums. I could really do everything with that if I had to.

                  The Black Beauty is a wonderful and distinctive drum deserving of it's reputation, but it is not super versatile.

                  The Acrolite is almost as good as a Supraphonic and I think it's the best value in a snare drum. A super clean one can be found on ebay for $120-$150 on any given day. (Sometimes for a lot less...)

                  That's just my opinion.

                      In the two months since the last update I picked up a Dunnett Titanium and a Gretsch USA Custom 6.5" x 14" in silver glass finish.
