Snare-hunting

[Judasciple]

Hey guys,

Trying to find a snare that would suit what I want to play, and it's hard because wherever I look everything sounds too resonant. I just want something that sounds reasonably flat like on Death Angel's Act III, Anthrax's Among The Living, or Exodus' Tempo Of The Damned.

I've been considering just getting Benante's signature snare from Tama, but I thought I'd ask around first to see what you guys thought.

Cheers.

I used to use a Tama Imperial Star 14" with medium weight single ply heads from Remo. I also sticked a small silencer (or whatever they're called) on it, so the resonance wasn't on treble levels and the attack depth was lower. It gave a sound almost like Disturbed's drummers snare.
Just sharing, hope it helps in a way!

Cheers man, I'll keep that in mind
