Snare Drum

A Real Beauty
This is the snare drum I have been looking for. It's stunning in appearance (black finish with brass hardware) and the sound is excellent.
It comes in 2 sizes, 5" and 6.5". I went for the smaller model as most of my playing is in jazz or folk situations although perhaps a rock drummer might go for the larger size.
The only problem I have met is being aware how powerful a sound this drum can produce and remembering to adjust my playing accordingly. However when I play with a brass band even the 5" version can hold its own.
