New to owning a drum set, Had an electronic kit for a while but no one really wants to track on an electric kit. Bought me a good set, mapex 6 piece, and some good cymbals. But one thing I have noticed is a lot of people have more than one snare drum. I understand that they sound different depending on material, snare beds, heads, snare wire count, and overall depth, but in reality how big of a difference is it between say a birch snare, and a maple snare? how big of a sound difference is there between a 5.5 inch deep snare and a 4.5 inch deep snare? How many do you really need to kinda cover the scope of snare sounds? I currently have the mapex birch snare that came with my kit, plus a steel shell snare.
