The Slingerland 6.5 Sound King is indeed a fine drum.

However, I don't need two 6.5 brass shelled snares and, for me, this is the winner: [IMG]http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv310/ronschwerin/DRUMS/PREMIER65RAsmallcopy.jpg[/IMG]
Now you've got me curious. My 6.5" Buddy Rich with TDR strainer is my usual go to snare and that thing is essentially a Sound King shell. How do you hear their differences?

Are you using a ribbon cable for snare wires??

I'm not sure I understand the question.
If it refers to the Sound King, I used plastic straps.
The Premier employs extended wires with hooks that attach to transverse rods inside the throw and butt.
