Best snare strainer?

From Purdie Shuffle

SS just has a learning curve attached. Once you figure them out and learn how to properly adjust them, they can produce some seriously great snare drum sounds. Tough to get right, but once you do, great strainers. I'm a big SS fan.John

I agree with John. There is a definite learning curve. I refurbished a SS for my son's High School and the kids were constantly messing with the adjustment knobs. When they disengaged the snares, the wires were so loose they would fall off one of the ends and then on to the floor . Nothing a little education didn't fix.

From The Ploughman

Rogers Swivomatic.

As a loyal Rogers party member, I have to support Ploughman's candidate for best strainer; however, if I were to vote for the independant candidate, it would be the Pearl strainer found on the free-floating 3.5x14 piccolo...

It is smooth and frictionless and really nicely machined with no slack or sloppiness in the movement.

My least favorite? The Ludwig P85. I've had more than one well-worn P85 jam on me during a performance, forcing the old "two-handed" wiggle to re-engage the snares. Never happened with a P83 though.
