This drum is so warm and beautiful for solo or orchestral playing! The round bearing edge and reinforcement rings giving it the feel of a vintage drum so it wont ever sound harsh. The downside is that sometimes this drum does not cut when I want it to and it is not as responsive at the edge in the piano dynamic range. I would label this a fantastic general snare drum.
