I just took mine out of its case and it’s turned blotchy, only played it twice and handled with the supplied gloves, stored in the studio in its case and it does this, are you aware of this and maybe you should check yours.
Ok I just checked and sadly yes it is looking a little odd, streaks and some blotches in areas and the shell does appear to be darker. Mine is stored in it's case also in a temperature controlled environment.
The higher tuning is my preferred choice but all these limited edition type snares are just gimmicks. When the DW Romanian River Oak kit came out I bought one. It’s a beautifully crafted kit buuuut so are my 90’s era Ludwig Super Classics. If you were to get 3 medium priced snares with 3 expensive AF snares and then put a blindfold on nobody would be able to tell the difference. These are all just a way of these drum manufacturers to get people to spend their money by making them think they’re getting something that’s going to sound amazing but it sounds just like any other well made drum.
I know what you mean, in a full band situation the tones make this drum come alive but as I use some form of dampening I try and give the best of both worlds.
the ping on that high tuning competed valiantly with the bell of your ride! dahayum💥
Crazy isn't it.
angry snare hi tune
Angry with a subtle hint of happiness.

Man that’s so nice.
It’s an incredible piece that’s for sure.
Dude, you are so bloody lucky
I know but one day it will all be on the market.
that cross stick sounds mighty too ...
Sounds freaking awesome from where I was sitting.

I get what you're saying, did you buy just the romanian snare or the whole kit?
nice crack! digging it!
It's got so much crack it's nuts but it's not in your face if you know what I mean.
Exquisite drum. EQ pads, or for that matter, those heavy, tone-killing heads, shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near that drum.

Medium tuning for me, the best
It’s pretty sweet isn’t it.
