Love this snare

Man...not only does this snare looks good...it sounds really great. I tuned it low and it gave me a solid fat back beat. I tuned it high and it gave me a nice crack that I like to hear on funky songs. This snare works for all styles. I'm really happy with this snare.

This is the best sounding snare I have ever purchased. Great response and tone with several different style heads. Great sensitivity. I use with a Modern Vintage head and it gets a great old school sound.

Wow, what an amazing snare drum. I've got the 6.5 x 14 Deep Cherry. I remember playing this snare in the store and would always come back to it. I've owned or played Ludwig, Yamaha, DW, Sonor, Tama etc. and this one can do it all. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

This is literally the best all around snare drum I've ever played. Has double snare tension so you can get the snares to sound exactly how you want. It's super sensitive, even in the 14x6.5 which is what I have. Has a great feel and is my go to snare drum over anything else.
