Considering buying my first Acro - you guys chime in with advice:
1. what should I look for, physically/cosmetically?
2. what should I be willing to pay?
I'm not partial to an era, and I'm not a "collector" per se so I don't mind one that's a bit "broken in" (i.e. doesn't have to be pristine or anything).
Just seems like the Acro is one of those snares everyone should own at least one (and perhaps 9) of, so I've started looking. They seem to be a very reasonably-priced drum compared to a lot of other vintage snares. I seem to see them as low as $100-125 on ebay - is this typical? Are there better deals to be had? Or perhaps...
3. are there better deals to be had on other snares (brands/models) that don't necessarily get the press that the Acros and Supras get...?
I'm still learnin' here, folks...thanks for sharing your sage wisdom.
