I purchased this snare about a year ago. It replaced my entry level snare and i was very impressed. I have a Remo CS coated head on top and an evans hazy 300 as snare side. This drum has a great crack with plenty of tone and body. The ring is easily drowned out by other instruments. I use no muffling at all and i love it. Very loud, very sensitive. Great snare for any drummer.

I have been playing drums for most of my life and most recently for the last 8 years in our praise band at church. I just upgraded from Pearl EXR to Master MCX. I bought the shell pack and the dealer threw in the Chad Smith Signature. It already had a remo weatherking coated head on it so all I had to do was tighten the lugs and put a dampening ring on the top and it sounds great. It rivals my Ludwig Supraphonic. Anyone who can' get a crack out of this drum doesn't know how to tune a snare!!

I was over with one of my drummer friends and he had this snare drum. Absolutely fantastic sound!!! He said he had very little trouble making it sound as good as it did. The sound it produces goes well with many genres. Very good snare drum for someone who plays a lot of everything. Not a bad price either.

I have been playing four over 40 years in bands and now mainley in Church. I have playe ddrums early in my career and switched to Bass and wanted to keep up on my drumming, also! I needed a updated snare that wouldn't break the budget! I reviewd with other drummers and what I read on line. It takes me some time to research when ever I am looking for band equipment. I treyed more expensive snares but I this one became my choice. I have a Remo Ambassador head on it! I also have a mute ring to quiet it down If I desire, I really like it and its quality, Oh yes I could have spent more, but its not about money! Its about value for the dollar! I think this is a great snare. It works for me, and I play all kinds of music. I don't think you will be disappointed. O I was considering a Tama and others, but? I am very happy with this one!

I picked this up at a store and it was used as a rental. The head had a Evens genera Hd Dry on it. I Just hit a few times with my hands then looked at the price, so I took it. I've had it now for 3 weeks and it is amasing. It may go out of tune from time to time but the drum speaks like no other snare I've ever had. I tune it up on the bottom and a little lower on top with the snare very lose And wow this Snare... You just have to play to see what I mean Its well worth ever penny plus a whoooole lot more I recomend it for sure.
