FTAO LeeReynolds (and others who thinks carbon is blingy)
This arrived for me this morning 
13"x7" solid Carbon Fibre snare drum - just under 1/4" thick, multiple layer carbon fibre weave Super highgloss lacquer outside, virtually unfinished inside (got a really thin clear lacquer inside, to smooth it out a bit tho) Handmade in the good old US of A 
The thing is a fooking WEAPON I stopped playing it abotu 2hrs ago but my ears are still ringing!
Trust me, Carbon Fibre is an EXCELLENT material for drums

Not yet - I haven't decided Lee. I think we're gonna try to come to a comprimise/agreement which will probably see me there till at least the end of Feb, kind of a trial thing. Things go well, I'll carry on. Things go south, I walk 
Snare for you.... Hmm. Well, it's gotta be a 14" (most standard head size, replacement heads are ALWAYS in stock all over the place (even I have em in stock
) And I think you need a good quality steel snare, not a wood one. Basically because steel is cheaper, and a high quality wood snare needs to be either maple or birch - both of which are expensive! For example, a Pearl Maple snare will set you back Ł382!!! 
And I think I have just the snare for you! I have a Tama 14"x5.5" steel snare drum. It's not top-top of the line (those are reserved for the hammered steel or brass/bell brass snares, for Ł200-Ł1800 (yes, thats not a typo, the Tama Bell Brass snare retails at over Ł1800 )
It's semi pro level, 14x5.5, nickel plated steel shell, 2.3mm superhoops, Tama's legendary "Snappy" strainer with pro level lugs and snare butt.
Looks very very much like this one;
But the main body of the shell is darker as it's nickel plated, so it's like a smoke-chrome finish (I'll get a pic of it 2morrow at work)
And I can do it for a good price for you too.... But I won't say here, not sure it is allowed (even tho it's not car/car bit sales ) You'll have PM....

I have 4 of the fookers at the mo, but thats good for me as it means I am three down from before
But then, I'm a snare whore
