I think all these snares are wonderfull.
I think the Steve Jordan snare is the most versatile. It's warm but has a great crack. I like a drum that's warm and with much crack. They have to be deep and then crank it up. I'm still finding out if LaDell abrams plays this snare on the latest live DVD of CeCe Winans. It sounded great!!
Don''t about the Musashi (6.5 x 13) snare. But it's gonna be LOUD. I don't know if it's warm enough and I read that it rings abit more. If your out for this then it's a great choice. Plus the price isn't too high. Oscar Seaton was playing this snare when he was in Holland with George Benson. It's easy to tell because of the red logo on it.
A friend of mine plays the 7 x 12 Pearl snare and man...It has some much crack and depth. A great snare... DOn't know if it's versatile enough. For RnB, Funk, Gospel this snare is great....Well if you have a main snare already then I would go for this one. If not, then the other ones are great because of their versatility and you can use them for alot more applications.
Well, it's a hard choice and I'm with the same problem as you. I'm thinking about buying these snares too!!! Hard choice!!!
Let me know what you're gonna deciced?
Peace from Holland!
