Love this drum!

I took a gamble and bought a "factory second" I really wanted one of these drums but was hesitant on the price. I got my factory second and wished I would've just spent the money long ago. This drum is absolutely amazing. I love playing drums but basically just do it as a hobby. I replace my snare head the most and this just makes it simple to do every time! So if you're kicking around if its worth it for the price....bust out the cash and just get it! The factory second is a great option as well! One thing I hope to see in the future is better support from hardware companies for a stand. Or even something dialtune comes out with would be cool too! It fits fine on the snare stand I have I just cant get it as low as I want with it sitting on the edge of the rim.

The Greatest snare money can buy

I don't even have the words to describe what a Game Changer this snare is. For a ocd set up guy like myself I was spending hours and hours tuning trying to get my snare to sound half as good as this one now. The easiest to use and best sounding snare a drummer can buy. Set yourself up for success and treat yourself to one of these snares

Cat's Meow!!

Can't say enough about it. Just love it. It cracks like unbelievable, and changing the head Forget about it !! Could it be any easier? lol So wish I had this back in the 80s in my heyday On the road opening for national acts, when I was changing Snare heads three times a week. Would be cool to see what a deep shell would sound like if you guys made one. I love my brass I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the maple pretty soon too. I just purchased the yellow. and the Orange cables from you guys. So it will be the first time changing the cable. Oh boy lol

Master snare

Love love love..this snare sounds awsome my band mates love it too that Crack I get out of it is just what I wanted I am totally amazed with the sound u guys have out did yaself and there is a few other drummers around here I'm sure will invest too ..fast tuning and it stays in tune too..gotta love it

Best Drum Ever

This is an incredible piece of equipment, looks great, sounds better. I travel with a band that plays several styles of music, and the leader plays in no particularly order. With this drum, I can play a super tight funk setup, and within 5 seconds, have a full loosened sound for a jazz brush groove, and then 5 seconds later, with a simple twist, any other tension I desire. I fully recommend this drum for anyone who plays many different styles, and doesn’t want to take as much time as usual to tighten and loosen.
