"AWESOME!!!!" by John Hall - 2/15/2003 8:15:52 PM Musical Experience: Style of Music: Hometown: High School Band Any Kind South Boston, VA USA 120 people out of 178 found this review helpful I have been through over 13 snare drums and I have finally found this one. It gives of a perfect sound and is suitable for kids of any age. Considering how cheap it is, I think the price needs to be checked. But I'm not complaining. This snare drum is awesome.

"Great Snare" by Andy - 1/7/2005 10:54:14 PM Musical Experience: Style of Music: Hometown: pro engineer,drummer anything you'll pay me to record CA 73 people out of 123 found this review helpful I had heard a couple of these live and they sounded great. After I had the chance to record one and found out how cheap they were I bought one. It does the cranked thing very well, but to my surprise it also sounds great at lower tunings and is very sensitive. I've recorded mine a number of times now and still can't believe how cheap and versatile it is. It's a great snare for any kind of rock or funk, and for the money there is not a better snare being made today, I highly recommend buying one. Was this review useful?

""the" snare" by The crimson king - 8/30/2003 4:28:48 PM Musical Experience: Style of Music: Hometown: Drum instructor Fusion Hartford, CT 72 people out of 136 found this review helpful What else is there to say?! This is "the" snare. Awesome for all applications thanks to its wide tuning range. Tune it high and you have a cracky jazz snare. Mid tune it and have an overall fusion snare. Let it loose and you have a furious rock snare. Excellent! Was this review useful?
