5) Fibes FST - Fiberglass 5x14 snare - this drum is very much like the Tempus drum - black fiberglass, punchy, loud, & aggressive. Not plastic like a Vistalite.

I hope this help you in your search.
Thanks earldrum.

I've pretty much nixed the acrylic idea.

The Noble & Cooley SS has been on my list for a long time. I will own one someday.

I will look into their 14" x 6.5 aluminum snare. Do you know any good on-line reatilers for N&C?
