It really finishes the set nicely! I'm really pleased.

Great Looking Snare

Showed up well packed and very clean. Tuned up easy, and though I haven't played it yet, I believe it's going to be a great addition to the snare arsenal, plus the novelty of clear acrylic is pretty cool. Middle of the road concerning overtones - I use Evans HD Dry on all my snares, so I think it has a little more potential if I want a phat or flatter sound vs. a metal or even wood shell. Very pleased.
Music background: 26 years, lots of funk, blues, that sorta thing.

Great Snare

This is my first DW drum purchase. I tried a different head than what came on it. P77 Clear Remo, but I didn't like it. So I put the stock head back on and it sounds great. Got the head pretty tight and of course cranked the bottom head. Feels great.. ghost strokes are good. And its beautiful...J

Snare

Sounds good and looks good, worth getting
Rated 5/5

PHAT snare

This drum has a lot of punch, but i was pleasantly surprised with how much of a "phat" sound comes from it when its tuned in the middle. This definitely surpassed my expectations. Well worth the price.
