I have the Green snare and have used it at many gigs, especially at smaller venues where the LM-402 would have been a bit too loud.

 

[OttawaDrumGuy]

Green sparkle is definitely my favourite.

Gretsch 4105. It's at the shop right now getting a makeover.

 

[Drums]

1965 Gold Sparkle Jazzfest and Club Date USA Silver Mist Sparkle. I have more sparkle kits than sparkle snares for sure.

One of my band mates refers to this as the Buck Owens snare. I need to take a family portrait with it's red sparkle cousin.

67 Slingerland Artist 5.5x14. Louder than my 65 WMP.

And here I thought I had a lot of snare drums!

Not a single sparkle wrap among them, sadly ........

It's never too late to start adding "sparkle" snare drums to your arsenal!

I’ve had several over the years but here are the only two I have currently. Silver sparkle Gretsch Brooklyn and a Gretsch Catalina Club in a bluish green sparkle. Can’t recall the name of the wrap. I upgraded the latter with DFD stick choppers & a Gibraltar Gladstone throwoff. It’s a pretty decent drum and looks so cool…so

Might be Emerald sparkle.

Might be Emerald sparkle.

I’m thinking it’s called Ocean Twilight.

I have just two:

1965 Ludwig Pioneer. This snare unfortunately buzzes like a bandsaw all day long, as it has literally no snare beds at all:

1968 Walberg & Auge 4x14, initialed by RGB himself. It’s technically a WMP, but I’ve included a close-up of the wrap so you can see the added sparkles - very interesting finish:
