Tama Spotted Gum vs Brady/Evetts

The SLP strainer is my favorite on the market along with the one Mapex uses.
The linear strainer? The SLP drums can come with at least two different types. The Linear strainer (as on the Spotted Gum) was first introduced on the Star series drums. It’s a great one.
Yeah that’s the one. It has the adjustment knob on both sides.

Which is great for switching them out as a lefty. Just like the old Yamaha and Brady snares.
What are you switching out?
I just keep the strainer to my left as I’m a lefty, too. But I’ve also had them on the right.

Sounds like I may eventually try the Tama. Seems the reviews are all overwhelmingly positive
Same here. I love the G Maple and Bubinga SLPs, they’re as good as any high end snares that I have played.

And thanks for all the contributions on this thread! I really, really don't need another snare in my life. But Australian timber seems like it's gonna be hard to resist

Santos Rosewood (Pau Ferro) - 1970
Those are my 2 hardest timbers right now, but one is a solid steambent shell, and the other is a 4 ply with 4 ply rings. I was gonna say it will be interesting to see how they differ, but they're completely different shell makeups. Not much comparison to be able to do.

I switch the strainer part out to the right as that is the hand that is mostly free.
The only snares where I didn’t do this are my DW’s as the 5p butt end gives more options the strainer itself.

Most times that is the case yes, although not always I have found out a year ago.
Thank the pandemic for that

I had a Brady Jarrah block snare and sold it. I also had an Evetts spotted gum snare and sold it. They both were nice snares, however I only liked them in the higher tuning range. For me they did not work well tuned low to medium low, medium. The Evetts was a little disappointing because it did not sound like the video to me. Not that is sounded bad, just not like the video. I know a lot factors come into play compared to video demo

Btw, there is a Spotted Gum for sale in Europe.
