Hey, Tim, sometimes the worst awful crap happens to 'good' people, too,
but it always has a purpose.
And that's not wishy hopey hooey!
Brian, what you have said about your two Lite snares reiterates what Tony Costello told me. He gigs his TO2 model (because it easier to handle) and does all his cymbal recording with the parallel. He told me he could not tell the difference between the die cast hoops and the huge triple flange, but that the parallel was a perhaps shade more sensitive. Kelly, what you are saying about the weight of all that hardware certainly makes sense but since I don't have the 7.25 parallel I can't make personal comment.
I love the 8" Designer snare but can't get that same soft woodiness that the Lite snare makes, that sounds like rolling something delicious about in your mouth. I think a lot of that sound is the birch, because the Classix has it in thinner form but without the body and sensitivity.
The Signature light has it with a deeper body. My {very faded} memory of my Radio King relates to these snares. Wish I still had that, to try it out.
I was just listening to some recordings of the Rogers wood Dynasonic - hopelessly expensive drums - but I didn't hear anything there that made me wake up.
Anybody want to buy a mint with original heads in original box piccolo Teardrop in that crazy black stripe over sliver wrap? What can a person do with a piccolo aside from say you own it? What happened to the rest of the drum? Who even thought these things up? Drum manufacturers looking to make two or three times the money from one shell? Obviously no one played this one long enough to change heads!
Not mine; someone is trying to sell it to me, and he wants five bills for it 
.Friend of mine has one he uses for brush work gigs. I sat in once (we live in different states and i was there only once) and played it and really liked it. Would like one of my own but, not at that price.
