I have been searching for a certain full deep and rich sounding snare for a while now and finally found it! I looked at all different types but went with this one. This snare when tuned right gives you the high end of a metal snare but the full sound of a wood snare. So you get the best of both worlds!! Great buy.....

I don't own this, but I used it while in the Studio. This is the perfect Snare drum. It is Perfect. Don't waste money on a Custom Snare Drum when you can get this have the great sound for a fraction of the price.

What a Drum

I own a lot of different brands and styles, including the warlord snares, and this one is the "cameleon" of them all. It is so versatile, you could bring this to hurch, to a small club, an arena, studio, whatever. You are going to love the sound it gives. And it LOOKS GREAT TOO!

I own a few snares however this is the most versetile of them all. It can be played for rock and also brought back down to jazz. I find it's sensitivity allows the snare to have defined ghost notes and wide range tuning. A definate snare to have.

Actually it's 13 ply, not 12. If you've never owned a Tama Snare Drum or even if you've never owned a Maple Snare you should start with a G-Maple Snare. You won't be disapointed. This snare sound cracks with authority every time you hit it. This drum rules!
