Thanks guys Have never considered a rosewood drum before but when I stumbled across this beauty I just thought yeah thats for me! It's a 14x5 SQ2 thin maple. I have wanted an SQ2 snare for ages now and when this turned up with the exact shell thickness and depth that I would order myself at such a great price I pulled the trigger. This is £880 on the configurator and I got it for a little over £400 from Germany. Best thing was no 6 month wait  It got here in 2 days! Totally agree that as the shell is so shallow the quantity of hardware is a little OTT but the die cast hoops are ridiculous quality and weigh a shed load! I just love it but will see how it plays tonight............

Hey guys! Well what can I say? I could honestly stick all my snare's on eBay right now having played this. No joke this is the sound I have been craving for a long time. It is by far the most sensitive, warm, and comfortable snare I have ever played. Build quality is off the chart and well worth the cash. Now owning sig snares and phonic era drums I can safely say Sonor still have it. Another top quality drum. This is up there with the cottonwood. I actually prefer the tone I'm getting from this one but that is just down to the smaller depth. I will never get rid of my cottonwood as it is the most versatile drum I have ever played. Seems to just fit any musical situation with ease. Who wants to buy some snare drums? If you get a chance to play an SQ2 snare in a size and configuration that attracts you give it a go you will fall in love I assure you. |

Thanks guys! Cliff, I have always craved a 14x5 wooden snare having owned last year a Mapex Meridian maple kit that came with a 14x5.5 snare that I just loved. It had to go in the trade for scoring my designers but I have always missed that shallower sound. Don't get me wrong I love all my snares for different reasons but this SQ2 is just 'my' sound and to have found it now after trying so many drums, head combinations is just amazing  Now to save up for that D112 kick mic I need (Would love an internal kick mic mount )  Dammit snares are just so much more exciting to buy!
