Rogers Powertone Chrome Over Brass (COB)

This heavy, amazing sounding snare drum will keep my Dynasonic company. In fact, I like the sound a lot more than my Dynasonic's sound, and she weighs about the same if not more. If you like metal snare drums this is one I recommend. They are still not grossly overpriced on eBay, and I can assure you that they can hold their own against a Ludwig Brass Edition Supraphonic (although who doesn't love Supras?)

On the subject of Dynasonics, if you have one and are not getting the sound you want from it, check out these instructions. Follow the recommendations and I guarantee you will have your Dyna singing.
