This snare is absolutely insane. I went to the music store to purchase this one a couple days ago. I tryed it out there and it was soo amazingly loud. I quickly went to the cashier and bought it. It is perfect for metal. It has like a distortion to it and its just amazing. Amazing for blast beats and especially gravity blasts. I can hear it over all my cymbals, even when gravity blasting. wicked snare. Very impressed.

After tuning it up it has an incredible ring and crack. I would still like the pitch of the top and bottom heads a little higher. I am looking for a very quick and powerful pop and snap with little or no ring. I am very pleased anyways. This is a good sounding snare for the price. It makes a good primary snare or secondary snare as well.

This snare is great, I use it in my youth group nights at church and it just cuts right through everything. I use it as my primary for its nice little sound. It can be used in any musical scenario. I have used a Ludwig maple piccolo but it doesn't compare to this one!

I got this snare about 2 months ago. It is the best snare ive ever played. Buy this snare, you wont be dissapointed!

This snare is one of the best sounding piccolo snares around. I love it mostly because of it being a brass piccolo. It has a wonderful "ring" behind it (other musicians you know what I mean). The "crack" that comes from it is ear piercing, and high end. Overall, this is a great snare. I really recommend buying this. It's come to the point where I moved it from my aux snare, to my main snare! Go and get one now!
