The only thing I dislike about Dynasty is how everything is so FLIPPING HEAVY. Lifting Dynasty Marimbas onto a budget truck in '09 wasn't fun.
As for the snare drum sound... to me, even as a snare drummer, it's going to sound really high, obnoxious, and loud no matter what company created the drum. I don't think the snares sound like garbage. If your snares sound like crap, either the line is dirty or you must stink at tuning
