are you wanting a metal snare, such as steel or MADE of metal, or are you wanting a snare drum to play metal MUSIC with?

i'm looking for a metal snare i don't care if it's steel, bronze, etc...
with a high pitch, dry but also with much sound range,
far as i know, the metal snare can give all this more easier than a regular wood snare...
Also i play metal music (Death metal) for example Death, Arch enemy, etc
so i'm looking for a the snare that has this description...

You're not going to get a dry sound out of a metal shell. They are are notoriously ringy. You're better off goign with a thick maple shell 15+ ply.

I'm on the Supraphonic/Acrolite bandwagon. The Acrolite especially, they can be found used for a great price and will serve you well for many years. Every drummer should own one, they simply work.

I agree and wish I would've gotten my Acrolite far sooner.
