LP 14"x 8,5" Banda Snare Drum

I got this snare because I really wanted a deep one and it sounded pretty nice on the videos I watched. The fact it is made of stainless steel was also appealing.

Regarding the sound, I am very pleased. It has a lot of attack, works really well in a high/tight tuning and is a joy to our ears. The heads it comes with are of good quality and surely add to the rich sound.
However, the craftsmanship is a little disappointing. There are visible defects inside the snare, on the rolling of the edges at the bottom, where the snares engage. It is as if the snare was hammered or hit with some blunt tool that deformed the material.
I spoke to Thomann and they kindly replaced the unit I got. Sadly, the one I received the second time also has similar issues so this might not be uncommon with the snare and, very likely, has to do with Latin Percussion/DW and their manufacturing.

It is a cool snare and I am keeping it but I probably would not buy it again.
