I totally hear it. Despite being a wood snare, there's certain metal shell-like brightness to this birch construction. And I love that about this snare. And yet, despite having that high-end presence, the drum still has TONS of woody body. Such a wonderful combination of tonal qualities. Thanks for the comment, Raphael!

Once again very informative and entertaining take 😄 I've used 14*8 wooden snare for a couple of years now, and the versatility with small adjustments is great! Imo, BFS is a must have with that size. 14*8 aluminum free floater is on my "to get list".. 😅

A 14x8 free floater would be NUTS! And thanks for the kind words. Always appreciate that! I'll tell you what, though. I feel like I need to get a 14x8 back in my collection after filming this one because this is just insane. A friend of mine got the Ludwig 14x8 Raw Brass a while back and loves it. And honestly, it sounds as good as you can imagine. So....maybe that's on my horizon!

8 x 14 Tama 1980's superstar is the best snare period. I scored a used one in 1995 and never looked back. Great video!
