I'm a beginner jazz drummer and I'm looking to buy my first snare drum dedicated mainly to jazz.
My budget is around €300. I know that's not enough for a high-end instrument, but I'd like to buy something that is genuinely enjoyable to play and that I won't feel the need to replace after a year.
I'm still learning, so I don't have a lot of experience and I'm not looking for a specific sound yet. I just want a snare that's responsive, musical, and versatile enough to grow with me as I improve.
I'm open to both new and used drums if you think that's the better option.
What would you recommend in this price range, and why?
