Something about the newer metal supraphonics..more brittle/bright than the older ones.
usable crack, but different

Drum paradise in La makes a good BB type drum..tube lugs ..brass shell.
..called "The Hitmaker"
great recording snare..

Something really special about the old 70 BB's though.
Hey RB,

That's funny you mention about changing the heads on new luddy's. I just picked up a bronze 6.5" supra and am sort of digging on the Ludwig head. I haven't really played it too much...we'll see if it holds up or not. Or maybe I'll just be totally blown away once I get some better snares and Ambassadors on here.

later,
