Pros

Gorgeous looks. Amazing response.

Cons

They are, of course, expensive.

The bottom line

If you've suffered over the years from innumerable snares that rarely delivered as much snare response as you hoped, these snares will blow you away. The problem, of course, is the price, which is beyond the reach of almost everybody. You're paying a massive amount more to get that little bit extra. Still, the drums are absolutely gorgeous in the flesh, and the tasteful engraving is the icing on the cake.
