Who created the snare drums?

What is best size of a snare drum and who would be best drum company?

I personally have a 14" Pearl Philharmonic Snare drum and I love it. It isn't as expensive as some of the other competing brands, and, if tuned correctly, it can sound just as good as any "higher-end" snare drum. Black Swamp is making beautiful snare drums right now, but they are pretty pricey. I believe 75% of the quality of a snare drum lies in the tuning of the drum. If you spend a decent amount of time tuning your snare, you can make lower cost drums sound just as good as expensive models. In general, however, if price is not the issue and you are looking for a quality orchestral snare, I would buy a 14" Black Swamp Snare Drum with a Di-Cast rim and a Sterns Calf Skin head!
