Yes.... another snare. This one is special.

New purchase- a gold badge DW Collectors Edge 14"x6.5".

This thing is very loud and weighs and absolute tonne.
It is something special- there is a 10 ply maple shell surrounded by 3/8" breast edges.
It has an amazing crack to it but still sounds ostensibly like a wood snare.
Really unique.

Sporky

Have you got a snare that when you turn it upside down it makes a noise like a cow or sheep?

Nice... I'd love to own a real kit but the volume prevents it. How do you prevent disturbing the neighbours?

By not caring.

Seriously though- I have two kits set up at home.
An acoustic kit and a kit with mesh pads and low volume cymbals.
I used to have an acoustic kit and a V Drums kit but I got rid of the V Drums because, frankly, they suck.
I do 90% of my playing on the mesh pads/low volume cymbals.

Plus I live in the countryside and we have a lot of space.
People have commented that they hear me but I don't do it at silly hours and I don't take the piss so it is all good.

That is very sexy, 6.5' eh, does it do reggae or hip hop?

It can, if I tighten the snare up.
I don't though.

Shame the badge is on the piss...

Just a trick of the photo angle- here it is square on:
