I OWN A JS=OSHUA TREE 7X14 BUBINGA STAVE WITH A MATTE FINISH, THE SNARE HONESTLY IS OKAY AND FOR WHAT I PAID AROUND
$700-800 I WASNT THAT IMPRESSED, BUT I HAVE FOUND A COMPANY THAT SELLS SINGLE PLY CUSTOM DRUMS WITH HIGH GLOSS FINISH AND TRICK 007 THROWOFF (BEST ON MARKET) AND PURESOUND SNARES, YOU CHOOSE THE BEARING EDGE, HOOPS, LUGS. I paid $600 including shipping for a 14x7 blk. walnut, with blk chrome 10 lugs with brass post, blk chrome die cst hoops, and a trick 007 throwoff and a natural finish high gloss laquer.thw aound ia amazing, blows the Joshua tree out the water and looks better, is better made and sounds 10 times better and i also have a 13x7 birdseye maple with 10 chrome lugs with brass post, chrome die cst hoops,trick 007 throwoff and a high gloss finish for only $650, the company i am speaking of is Carolina Drumworks, they do stave and segment but the best is single ply, jeff the owner is supper knowledgeable,look at Carolinadrumworks.com and i guarantee if you do go with a stave ,which i think your crazy, once you hear the prices at Carolina for single ply it out beats joshu tree,trust i own both brands. but if you go stave go with Carolina because they will put on a high gloss finish as standard as well as die cast where at Joshua tree those hard ware cost more. just check out carolinadrumworks.com and the gold gallery.
