Good Snare Drum

This was an upgrade snare drum from a standard one I had and it turned out to be a good one. Although, I have never played any really expensive snare drums with my kit, I have to say that this one is the best I have played. Originally I wasn't that happy with it because it was a 6 and 1/2 by 14 in and I could not get the John Bonham sound that I wanted. But after I tightened the crap out of both sides of it, I got a really good crack from it. It turned out to be a great Christmas present!

I bought a drum set off of my friend a while ago and it came with a ludwig rockers with the stock heads on it. God only knows how old the thing is, but it still sounds better pretty much any other snare I've played with. If you like that Chad Smith crack, crank this bad boy up and it will deliver a crack of thunder from beyond this earth. I just played an un-miced live show and it cut through everything, echoing through the auditorium, sounded great! and I still have the stock heads, barely alive, I'm curious as to what this will sound like with some brand new ones on it. Good buy

When I was in my concert band in high school, i played on one of these snares. I fell in love with the sound of it immediately. There's really no other way to describe its sound other than it sounds like John Bonhams (with remo Pinstripe batter head and stock resonant head and snares). You really can't go wrong with this snare. It is definitely one of the best snares around.
