Transparent cast hourglass lugs, 2.3mm heavy duty hoops, and Pork Rings mounting system. The black hardware gives this Pork Pie acrylic snare a unique look and the construction and materials provide fat tone that's perfect for anchoring rock, funk, and fusion beats. 6" x 14"
I bought this snare about four years ago when they were sold in orange as well. I actually use this snare instead of my original gretsch snare because it has a very unique pop to it. It does require tuning up though. After four years of heavy hitting, I do still have the original head, and it still sounds amazing. I am a metal/hard rock drummer, and it is one of the best sounding snares for me. I definelty reccommend this snare for the price.
Got this snare a couple days ago and from what ive heard out of this thing so far... i cant complain. Pretty good sound for an acrylic snare of this price range. Deep warm sounds with a nice pop. This is not a seamless acrylic (glued shut) but it still sounds fairly good. The drum looks great, and when i opened it up it already came with remo ambassadors both top and bottom. It also came with a higher quality snare wire compared to other stock wires that come with other drums of this price range. There is one huge downside to this snare for for however. The throw off is switched to the opposite side of the snare. Now some may think I am being stupid by not just turning the snare 180 degrees, but the reality is that if you do that the throw off is still goofy. Instead flipping the throw off the normal way you would have to flip it backwards to what you are used to. Not a huge deal, I mean it doesnt effect the sound of the snare just the ergonomics. Overall this is a good looking snare that sounds pretty good for the level and price which it is set at.
This Snare Has become my favorite snare period. I've had it for quite some time, and bought it used. It has amazing power to its sound (When applied). I've actually had some problems with it being too loud in certain playing atmoshperes, however playing it lighter does not take away from its tone. Even when its tuned High and tight, this baby can sound real good. The only problems with that are some overtones/ring. So if you like playing it that way, put a O-ring, or some moon gel. I've tried many different head, mostly coated, and they work great for a deep rock sound. Me and another friend of mine both have this same snare and love it. Also, Looks Awesome!
