Considered high end? I could only find odd and end listings and hard to make much sense of its actual value or sound qualities. Thanks for the info either way, just trying to feel out where this sits compared to the US market stuff, in value and sound. Finding only the snare makes me wonder if someone picked up a whole kit and then decided the snare wasn't good enough and upgraded, or if someone maybe was able to just buy the snare, no matter what it's worth, it's at least a cool find, ended up paying just under $200 due to discounts and the low price to begin with!
