The only thing a drummer to another never ever have in common is the use of snare drums. While guitarists and other must have musicians can actually get along  sometimes, there´s always disagreement among drummers which snare drum to prefer at certain times.

And why is this?? As a drummer the snare drum is the only thing that will seperate you from another. The snare is the signature sound to your prefered playing style and a very personal way to adress your audience.

There´s no way a serious drummer would say, – Oh I´m happy to borrow yours..

To find out what is your preference when it comes to a personal sound and signature there´s only one way to find out. Keep on trying and testing!!

The first choice is to get comfortable with size and depth. A good beginning is to choose a die cast snare with depth of 5-6,5″ and a good batter drumhead that suits your musicstyle. This will probably take sometime because it´s a jungel out there with models this and models that…

The choice of a good die cast snare will cover 85% of all musicstyles and the only thing you´ll need to change would be the choice of drum head batter.

A good tip would be to invest in a Wood Shell snare and a die cast snare. You will be surprised how big the difference is between these two and ultimately with different drumhead batters on them.
