Is There Any Cure For Snare Drum Collecting?

Is there any cure for snare drum lust? Nope.

Once you've been playing for awhile, have a few means, and reach a certain age it starts.

The collecting and hoarding of snare drums. Like a former colleague and teacher Paul DeLong, I've got enough drum sets. But you can always squeeze another snare in. 

My latest acquisition: Tama SLP Vintage Poplar Maple Snare 14x5.5

The verdict: 

1. Dry sound with the stock heads
2. Sounds great tuned up as well as done
3. A small room drum
4. I've ordered another batter head: New Orleans Snare Batter from Aquarian Drumheads

We'll be playing trad jazz on it come the spring and jamming starts up again.
