Do any of you guys have one, what do you think?

Thoughts?

Cheers

Don't have one and never did, Jeff. But I have owned Phonics snares, and they're great drums. Don't see how the addition of rosewood veneer could detract. ;)

Do you have an opportunity to buy one?

I've got one thats in VGC+, and just picked up a beater for gigging.
Haven't had them side by side, but I'm sure the VGC shell is thicker, and sounds a bit drier and snappier :roll: .

I set up the beater on my Jam kit (Phonic), and recorded a rehearsal with her.
Very nice :D , fat,warm, with that woody, dark 'branch snapping' crack when you lay into her.

I suppose I wanted to know if anyone had seen/owned D516's that differed from each other. And could say,whether or not, the shell differences create noticeable changes in sound characteristics.
The subject of shell thicknesses, and ply lay ups differing, was discussed on Scotts forum. But not sound characteristics :| .

Cheers

:| It took a while to translate "beater" away from the bass pedal to mean something that was or will be mistreated.

Glad to hear you enjoy both snares. :)

A beater attitude, I think. You Ozzies! My wife is leaving Melbourne today headed for Brisbane, and then to Byron Bay for the writers festival. I hope I can understand her when she gets back. That would be something new... :lol: :shock: :lol:

I never got there, Jeff. Still home in Wisconsin. She's the one doing all the travel right now.

A man can be understanding of women, but should not expect to figure them out. :ugeek: :lol: :ugeek:

I hope Lily enjoyed herself whilst back home :roll: , I'd find Australia a difficult place to leave.

You must be a good Man. ;)

Congrats

I hope she's enjoying anything and anyone but herself! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Jeff, she loves Australia, and she has deep friendships there; but the economics and logistics of that sort of a move are daunting. Lily loves it here, too, although American rural cuisine does not meet her approval - surprise, surprise.

Fortunately for me, her home is where I am, and vice versa.
