I would take the Pearl Firecracker. For the price and what it is, thats a nice little snare. I had one for awhile, it was an extra snare, and I gave it to a drummer at one of our churches who didnt have a snare...LIke I said, dont expect it to be a Musashi or anything, it is what it is...but to me its worth the money.

God Bless

Did you tune the firecracker?? You cant judge a drums sound off of a shelf. Drums are very rarely tuned at a drum shop...and even if they are, people come through and mess with them all the time anyway. My Mahogany snare is supposed to have a ring to it as well, and it did. But I tightened my snare side 1/2 turn tighter than batter, and the ring is gone...Its all in tuning and head selection.

Another drum to look at may be the Popcorn Pacific...that is in that price range too...They are pretty nice.

God Bless
