Back to Product Information
Sound: The snare drum sounds really bright and loud, rimshots are thunderous! It works well for hard rock and metal, but it's better suited to reggae and techno; any style of music where you a short, sharp, loud snare drum. The best way to describe the sound is like a steel snare but a little rounder and drier. Feature: It's got all the stuff you need, and nothing you don't. The throwoff is very sturdy and reliable. Ease of Use: All you gotta do is hit it, it ain't really that hard. Quality: I have the lacquered version of this snare drum and the finish is a little fragile. But the shell sounds great, and the hardware is really first rate. Value: I seriously think you'd be hard pressed to find a better sounding snare drum at this price. Manufacturer Support: I have a 13 piece tama kit and I've never had anything go wrong. The Wow Factor: The selling point for me on this drum is the rimshots, which are in the ear-splitting range. This drum just has that huge, full-bodied sounding CRACK! Overall: Right now I'm using this as my secondary snare drum, since I have a custom made Dunnett titanium snare which is absolutely the best. Even so, I will never get rid of this snare, it has unique sonic properties that make it especially useful to me.
