Fun fact, these Pearl snares have the same shell as some Star snares, including some King Beats. Who copied who?
I believed we already discussed this and yet I do not recall our conclusion. As a matter of fact, it very well may be possible that it was never solved at all!
My theory was that the owner/retailer of the Majestic (Deluxe) stencil kit had Star build the toms and BD, and yet had Pearl make him his snare. I doubt there was any stopping someone from doing so if they wished.
Bart - that is a GREAT snare to have in your arsenal if it is your first steel. It will do you well. I get best results when I tune the bottom higher than my top - and typically have to loosen up the bottom gradually to get more crisp - because the tendency (for me at least) is to tighten the bottom too tight resulting in oversensitivity - and resulting in a flapidy wetness - with no cutting edge attack.
