which snare drum to buy?

Wich snare is better to buy for general use? the brass on brass ludwig or a gretsch maple snare drum? or any other snare drum?

thanks all of you guys, this forum is great....!!!!!!!

P.S. Thnks for all the help

What does "General Use" mean? A snare drum that can handle Dixieland and Death Metal? A snare drum is meant to suit you, and I guess that can only be done by going and testing some out.

well that's like saying "i want to buy a general-purpose car". of course, i would recommend a supercharged M5 & then you would reply back with your budget.
