ROCK!

Would like you folks to know, that I am enjoying the heck out of my Phonic Plus kit.
Been playing a lot. Kit sounds a.m.a.z.i.n.g.

The only thing I'm not getting along with is the 14 x 8 snare. Not for sound, thing is a beast, but positioning.
I have everything exactly where I want it to be, but things would be perfect with a little more shallow snare.
It's my opinion, these snares blow away any Signature snare I have heard. Lord knows I've had my share of those.
I got this snare from our good friend Brian (hooked) and would like to see if anyone here would like to buy it. It is mint as far as I can tell, die casts, throw off II.
I really wish Cliff would take it, as he was making magic on the thing.
I won't offer it anywhere else but would like to pursue a 14 x 6.5 or even a 14 x 6.

I love the snare and it matches my kit, but I have a real aversion for things sitting around that won't get used.

Great drum, Kelly. I can't afford it, but would surely would be if I had the necessary scratch. I agree it topples wood Sigs if dry is not your thing.

The T.O.2 puts that drum on the front burner of any snare I would be interested in. Combined with the 8" depth, it does reduce some flexibility in positioning the snare on the stand, but it's nothing compared to the imposition of the parallel strainer!

Phonics rock, and that's the truth.

Is that the working definition of "land poor"?
