I am thinking of getting an acrylic snare drum. I am looking at a 14" X 7" Right now I have two 14" X 8" 20 ply maple snares and am looking for a different flavour.

Is the acrylic dry sounding? Do they record well?

I've played a Ludwig acrylic kit and thought it sounded pretty good, no acrylic snare unfortunately.

I am thinking of getting a local drum maker to possibly make me one with die cast hoops and a Trick throw off.

I'm also thinking of a 6 1/2" x 14" aluminum shell.

Convince me or not.
