I'm not sure about the technical lbs. difference, but, at least on the 14" (those are the one's I marched) the difference is painstakingly noticeable.



Never marched one, but it definitely seems like it would be, over 20 lbs is a lot for a snare.

I"ve spent a summer with a 14" drum and one with a 13"- you won't care what size or weight the drum is at the end of the day- they're both to close to call.

You will however, want to pay good attention to your harness. Something like the Dynasty model will feel tons heavier in comparison to a RM tube.

A top snare is about a 2-3 pound difference. Here are the weights for all the common snare models from the "big three" (except Carbonply):

YAMAHA
13" SFZ 14.6
13" MTS 17.2
14" SFZ 16.6
14" MTS 20.1

PEARL
13" Articulite 13.8
13" FFX 14.0
14" FFX 16.9

DYNASTY
14" Wedge 11.5
14" Shorty 18
14" DFX 18
14" DFXT 20

And from a tenor player's perspective: Suck it up, crybabies.

That is going straight to my sig. But yeah skydog is right, weight differences in snares aren't big at all, march a set of tenors for about 5 minutes and snares will feel like they're not even there.

Just to let you know you can always take off the MTS part of the MTS and then you basically got yourself an SFZ
