Material became impossible to get ahold of? They could've just called TAMA if that were the case. Any of you guys have experiance with the Kingbeat Snare? Is it really difficult to use? If you were to compare the Powerline with the Mastercraft model Imperialstar, which one would you say is the better and earsier to use? Also, If any of you have experiance with any of the other two models, please fill me in. So, I think I might want one of the other two Imperialstars. I see dials on both sides of the throw-off, and I start thinking about the Ludwig Super Sensitive Snare, or the Rogers Dynasonic Snare.

As much as I like it, I think the Kingbeat looks very sophisticated to use because of its snare throw-off system. Now, I hear that the Kingbeat was the best of the three models that I mentioned. Are there any other models that I`m missing here, that come in14圆.5?

So, from what I understand, there are three models of (steel) Imperialstar snare drums from the 1980s, there`s the Kingbeat, the Powerline, and the Mastercraft. I`m thinking about maybe buying one when I get back to the US. I`m just asking these questions out of curiosity.
