Ludwig Acrolite or a 400 would be great. 2 of the most recorded snares in history.
Plenty of them around, new or used and great in every genre.

Absolutely, I actually restored a few snares during lockdown as a bit of a time killer and I had an Acrolite and a Super Sensitive through... I probably should have just kept one.
Yellow one is an Acrolite, red one is Super Sensitive and the green one is a Sonor Force 505 (nothing special but it was the first one I did for a practice run) and a few before photos of the Ludwigs.

Anyone have any suggestions for a beater snare? I sold my Sonor Benny Grab earlier in the year and managed to pick up a Union X Sean Carey Signature snare (I'm a huge Bon Iver fan and it these are rare as hen's teeth so I couldn't turn my nose up at the opportunity to acquire one).
I've also recently committed myself to my first jam/ potential band as a drummer and I'm loath to take the Sean Carey out to be honest as I don't want it to get thrashed...
I'd ideally like something in aluminium, brass or oak (cast steel would be cool too but they're all crazy money like Keplingers etc.) I'd also quite like 13" if possible but happy with 14"...
My preference would be something a little more high end in tough cosmetic condition rather than cheap and spotless and my preferred brands are Tama, Yamaha, Sonor...
Anyone have anything they want rid of or a good suggestion?
