I drummer for 20 years, I have 5 DC, I use it for a year, version maple, has purchased the Baguetterie € 300, I turned to the Evans hit a REMO Ambassadeur and I'm really happy, a its huge, very versatile and more! I went from pop to jazz (for 8-inch!) of the metal to blues, as short as ben starclassiques in cheaper! I would do without this choice problem, I love her sonirités, and manufacturing quality, worthy of molded circles ... though ..
