@ inigo wow. nice snares. how does it sound? which one do you prefer? do you actually use both of them? Thanks. Both are ringy, being metal.
How the Ludwig sounds... you can check out this video:

...or in my video demo about my splash (ahem) that I'm selling, wherein I also play my Supra, here:

The Pearl, is like any brass shell snare, but a bit dryer, which gives it a woody sound. Sample clip of it in action here:

I like the Pearl better because it's sounds bigger (dahil sa depth). I'm leaning towards deeper snares nowadays. Looking into to getting one that's 10" deep.
I use the Pearl in almost all gigs, the Ludwig sa bahay or sa low-volume gigs. Or depends sa mood (hehe).
Bro inigo... Nice drums! I just noticed your Pearl drum's badge. It is indeed mis-spelled as "HAMMERD"! Any idea or story on how Pearl overlooked that detail? Maybe that would make it a more valuable drum. Weird enough, I think misspelling it is normal for this series. I found this a Yahoo online auction:
