"unbelievably awesome"

I bought the snare a couple of weeks ago and I don't want to play any other snare ever again in my life. I've noticed the change instantly. All Hail Mike Portnoy and his wicked ideas

About This Product!
Description
"I came up with the basic concept for my Melody Master signature snare drums (I named them after my daughter Melody) about 4 years ago. I thought about how many drummers use several different snares for the studio. Or how they have 2 snare drums on their own kit to get 2 different kinds of sounds. So I suggested to Tama the idea of a snare strainer that locked into several different positions as opposed to just 2. In response they built me a custom drum with a foot pedal that activated the throw-off on the drum. It functioned much like a tympani or it could lock into 3 positions: off, loose, and tight. Later we took the 3-position concept and applied it to the much simpler manual throw-off that's used in the new signature series."
