Have a look at sensitone snares unless you are sure about the Tama Spartan Warlord

If you like birch better, who gives a crap what other people say sounds better.

I agree, but the way it sounds in the studio is something to consider.

imo, go for the 1 that u like the best
if ure looking to spend a bit of money, i hardly think its gonna sound bad in the studio

i had my cheap yamaha starter kit recorded and it sounded nb
so if urelooking to spend more it should sound great

I Understand ^^
