"Perfect snare and perfect bag"

The snare sounds awesome, I didn’t try the Ludwig head at all, I had an Evans hybrid head waiting for the snare and is just the perfect combination, I’m going to get another one just in case they stop making this one. The bag is really nice too,I though it was just like a simple cover Bag but is like a semi hard case so it does the job perfectly. Thanks zZounds best store ever.
