I received two of the Dunnett R4-L strainers today and I installed one on my 6.5 Supra, and here are my thoughts:
It is an awesome bit of engineering, it's very smooth, and hefty. I do like the weight to it, which sorta contrasts what someone on here called "Chinese pot-metal" (or is there heavy pot-metal?) Once I got it installed, I played the drum for about an hour, with the tension in various states of adjustment, but mostly on the loose side to test if this knob moves on its own while I'm playing the drum with force.
It hasn't moved at all in any position. I could leave it loose for that sloppy, almost white-noise type of sound, and it stayed there at least as long as I played a heavy groove for about four minutes. Likewise, keeping the snares in a tighter feel you can assume it didn't move either, but I expected that as there's more friction holding it there. The drop lever is buttery smooth (it should be, it's new) - so I'll see if that changes any time soon.
All in all, I think this is a good score. I'll start recommending it to others after I play with the band next week (nothing like seeing how it holds up in a performance situation for four hours), but right now my view is very positive.
It doesn't look like it doesn't belong on the drum (which is something the Trick looks like to me), and I attribute this to the same chrome finish, as opposed to the matte-aluminum finish of the Trick.
I'm now going to install one on my other Ludwig 5" Supraphonic tonight. Peace out ;)
