I love that little MKE Drum Co. one that I've got. And while it's a little different tonally than the snare in this video, it's still a killer power piccolo sound.

Those Supralites are super underrated. I really want to find one of the 14x4 models one day. Those are also really hard to find. And I feel like people overlook the Downbeat 14x4/Jazz Combo 13x3 because they think about the Jazz Fest (if they're looking at wood snares). People even think about the Auditorium or School Fest or whatever else they called the 14x6.5" wood drums. But for whatever reason, under mics, I can get just as much (or more) body out of a good 14x4 as I would out of a 5" or 6.5"+ depth drum. Just something special about these!

On the topic of 'recreating' this drum's sound and feel, Used Ludwig 3ply w re-ring Tom Tom shells are readily available to cut down and reinstall the re-rings. I have done this and the opportunity to more precisely 'bearing edge & snare bed' produces a better than factory shell(I actually took the hardware off my BDP and installed it on a Maple/Poplar/Maple Re-Wrapped BOP shell I cut down(of course I keep the original shell.
