Love it

You can't go wrong with this snare. I just got it the other day and it sounds amazing.rim has a beautiful click and the ring on the snare is just right. I literally got chills when i first hit it. (I absolutely love drums)It's a great all around snare, sounds good in any genre. Has great low end and high end is phenomenal. Tuning was super easy. I switched the stock head to a coated emperor and I added 1 drum dot and its good to go. Thanks sweetwater for the awesome deal.

A Great Sounding Snare!

Keyboard and guitar are my primary instruments, however I really enjoy banging away on the drums every once in a while. My previous snare was in rough shape so I decided to buy this one. I would highly recommend this drum and buy it again if I had to. Thanks for the great product Sweetwater!
