It's Too Mellow (2 of 6)
Fun story: supernice guy wanted a really mellow snare with a lot of blend and low attack. I suggested this configuration with the thin shell, rounded bearing edges, massive hardware, etc. He was back in a month saying he wanted to trade for something with more bite. No problem—but it was cool that we nailed it (the way he described what he wanted) the first time! 6x14; plied maple; semi-gloss wax.
