I picked it up a few days ago and it makes my set! iT IS SOOO awsome! You could NOT it for the price!! It pops Perfect! And it is very useful! And it looks beautiful! BUY IT! NOW!!!!

I really like this snare. It would be hard to beat for the money. It has a great sound, nice and snappy. I`m using it as a side snare for special effects. It does have that timbale sound with the snares off or loosened. I`m using it loosened as a contrast to my main snare. It can double as an addition into tom fills. I`m thrilled with it. The only word of advice is this; replace the stock head immediately with a decent head. Save the stock head as a back-up snare-side head. Don`t hit it! I tuned the snare to perfection using the drum dial tuner, mounted the snare, and I kid you not...I made one hit and put my stick right through it. I`m not even a hard hitter! Haven`t busted a head in years, if ever. Other than that minor thing, I definitely recommend it for the price.

I bought this snare about 3 months ago as a side snare for my kit. With the snares off, this thing sounds AMAZING. Easily the most attractive and best sounding side-snare out there! Only issue I've had is that when I hit a lot of rim-shots on it, the lugs closest to impact tend to loosen a little, but not enough to affect playability. The stock batter head wasn't that great, but I put a REMO SUEDE on there and it's perfect. I love this snare and would HIGHLY recommend it.

I haven't replaced the heads yet, but with 2 moongels on, it sounds great. The throw-off could use a little lubricant, aside from that no complaints. Great little drum; at this price you should buy it NOW before it gets more costly.

This drum is the best snare ive ever had and the first time i played it on my set it made my set sound better. you can play almost any style with this drum. it gives off a nice crisp sound and and is very durable.over all you need to but it if you are looking for a snare with good quality and is not very expensive
