or 13" Metal Snare

Wooden snare is also not as deep as the metal snare

maple over steel. Only time metal snares sound good is bellbrass IMO.

Then again I did love the reverends cheap tin snare sound.

But personally i'm about the tone wood. Check out some of the new Tama custom ones too, insane

Love Pearl products but I would go with #1 as well. Also easier to adjust tone on more specifically to the surface if you want.

thanks mate, I thought that the pearl one would be good in one situation and one situation only (loud rock/metal), and the wood ones would be better actually sounding nice. when I heard danny carey playing for the first time I thought he was using a wooden snare but it's just a normal snare with the snares off (it still sounds 'woody' though), weirdly.

nice one on the tama I never thought to look at their snares. also the ludwig black beauty should be looked at surely? (i know it's alot more expensive though)

thank you mate, I was looking for reasons not to get the mapex one because I thought it would be too quiet but the guy used it in fuggin lamb of god so I think it would be alright!!

also I didn't notice the other knob on the opposide side of the snare releaser, on the mapex. nice!
