Best Snare in my collection!
I'm usually not a big review writer, but I'm a huge review reader, if that makes sense....But I feel compelled to sit and write one on this drum.
I have a 1st Generation (Maker's Series) Maple. I was skeptical at first, but it didn't take long to see (hear) the absolute versatility of this drum technology. While it does weigh in at a hefty 20 pounds, it IS WORTH ITS WEIGHT in gold, so to speak! The ease of changing heads gives you the ever so precious time saving opportunity to experiment with different head sounds, not to mention the ever so precious time saving opportunity of TUNING SO DANG QUICKLY! I'm a weekend warrior and gig at different venues and as you well know, each venue has different sound/acoustic characteristics and this drum gives you the ever so precious time saving opportunity of tuning to the room... I've even changed out a cable (not due to need, only to see how it's done, and I found it's not that difficult, just watch the video first so you know the couple important points). I also got the case they just made for it, which is really nice... The one they recommended prior to this I bought and while it did fit, it was real snug, but the one they have now is really a much, much nicer fitting case (it makes it an easier decision for me to take the Dialtune on a gig if I have the custom fitting case for it)... All in all, I highly recommend this drum! (to be honest, I'm eyeing up an Aluminum)!
If you're on the fence about investing in a Dialtune (They even reduced their prices by $300 from when I bought mine)!!!, listen to your intuition and GET ONE, it's not just a gimmick, Yes the technology is different, but the tradeoff in the "Ever So Precious Time Saving Opportunity" of time, tuning and sound is only found in this drum.
Thank you for reading this review (Maybe I'll write more now)!
Signed,
Happy Dialtune Owner
