awesome, cool tom setup, you can probably do some interesting fills with them like that.

Thanks everyone for the nice compliments.
The Tama snare is a beautiful instrument. It has a very wide tuning range, the snares respond very well and speak clearly thru all dynamics, and you can really hear the warmth of the shell playing crossticks. The kicker has to be the rimshots. They just bark with this snare. The only thing is, I love playing rimshots and its starting to take its toll on the cherry hoop. I would like to buy another snare soon and keep the Tama for special occasions, or whatever. Ive been thinking about either a 6.5x14 pearl ultracast, 6.5x14 Remo (acousticon I think...some kind of hybrid shell) or a 8x14 tama g-maple. Has anyone played any of these models?
I also want to add 12" and 14" chinas to my setup. Does anyone have any suggestions for certain models to check out? I like more hiss than clang out of my chinas, and have been leaning towards the AAX line. Any ideas?

What about getting a die-cast batterside hoop for the snaredrum and use it while you're practising, and only use the cherry for gigs? We don't really need all that perfect gear when practising.

Thats a good idea. I wonder what it would do to the snare, sound wise.

It will provide a sharp, striking and very direct sound.
