this snare fit the highest qualifications that were nessesary to complete the taste of satisfying my ear. Its a pleasent look that quit frequntly make me stop and realize its true buety. do get it.

This is a good value for the price but I find it too loud and somewhat harsh.It has more ring then I like but this can be controlled with dampening.On the positive side, it is really beautiful!I would recommend this snare for rock and metal and those who want reasonable quality with a low price.

I bought this drum over two years ago. I looked hard and researched for a while. Warmest sound I've heard. Great feel, beautiful looks. Durable, have not had one issue with hoop wear, lugs, anything. I have a friend who is the drummer for a national country band on radio who uses my kit several times a year on fly dates and he loves this snare. Actually requests it. You will not be sorry. I'm buyng a second for a vintage kit I am refinishing now. You can spend more but you can't get a more verssatile snare in my opinion. If you are a snare nut you should ad one of these to your collection.

I was not disappointed. This snare drum looks, sounds and feels wonderful. This is a great addition to any drummer's snare drum collection. I think PDP drums are a great value in general.

I just recently purchased this snare drum and I'm blown away by its sound! It has a very warm sound you can only get with wood! I've had steel snares before, but maple sounds so much better! The hoops are also maple so it looks great as well! Buy this snare! You wont be disappointed.
