SNARE CHOICE ? help me to choose.

Hi amigos,

I'm hesitating inbetween a Yamaha Maple Custom Absolute 14x7 made in Japan and a Cazz handmade in Germany 14x5.5 Maple stave.
The Maple Custom is a standard so won't remind the spec...
The Cazz is made from selected Maple, Stave shell 13mm with single nodal point lugs and 2,3mm hoops and Nickel works strainer.

I can get both for about $390, which one would you go for ? :

That Cazz looks nice! Personally I don't think you can go wrong with a Yamaha Maple Custom though

I would go for the cazz just the fact it's not a standard stock snare. Looks nice and different. I've never heard of cazz Sent from my iPhone using Pearl Drums

I would buy the Yamaha snare. I think it looks nicer, has better hardware and would be easier to sell if you ever get bored with it.

I would go with the Yamaha... just my opinion.

Between those two, I'd get the Cazz snare and I wouldn't even have to think very hard about it. The main reason for me is that I don't particularly like deep snares - even 6.5" for me is pushing it. the 5.5" depth is a great depth for just about anything - tune loose, and you've got a phat snare. Tune high and you're playing rifle shots. I just don't feel like you'd have the same versatility with the 7" depth.

YOu probably couldn't go wrong with either one, but that stave will probably sound very different that the Yamaha snare. It's a different size and different type of construction. I've never heard of Cazz drums, but it may be a great drum. I like deep snares so I would probably get them both, but it'd be best to test them both and let your ears decide.
