Great sound and quality
I was thinking about getting an 8" deep snare, but decided on this 6.5". All I can say is WOW! Great punch, and can get that deep Bun E. sound if you want that. I did use a thick Evans head, which made it sound better, but you gotta whack it!
This snare will be a part of my Gretsch RN 2 shell pack I just purchased from Sweetwater. This is a great - versatile snare - sounds amazing.
DW performance snare
I love the new DW snare. It arrived in 3 days and I am very happy with it. Right out of the box it sounded great with a little tune up.
I own a dozen snare drums and the DW is the best sound ever. It has a full beefy deep sound with snap. Great for any kind of music.
AWESOME DRUM
This has got to be THE GREATEST maple snare drum EVER! The tone is incredible, and by adjusting the snare tension, you can get a TON of tones. I've never even needed to retune. However, I will warn you: It's still a wood snare. If you want a HUGE snare that doesn't sound like wood (because it's not), go with a Ludwig. However, this a GREAT snare.
