Versatile, great sounding, an excellent choice.

Comments:

I have played on numerous snares from varying manufacturers and in varying sizes and shell material, and this one certainly can hold its own against any of them. The four snares included mix very well, and the multi-strainer makes tuning the snares themselves a breeze. Engaging the strainer is very smooth, and there are a number of timbral options made available by the different snare combinations. The case is sturdy, and looks good as well. The snare is not too difficult to tune, and given the snare choices can be very crispy for Delecluse and Kije, or have a clean punch for some Tompkins. I really am quite pleased with the snare, it looks as good as it sounds and I would certainly recommend it for any serious percussionist!
