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"
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.
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.
Don't listen to the other reviews. These guys must have a really bad ear for them to say this is one of the best sounding drums they ever played. If you are rock drummer this drum will apply to u most so listen. I got this snare for looks. I eventually progressed as a drummer and in doing so realized the sounds u get out of this drum blow. The range is terrible u can tune it all u want but the acrylic shell(while hot as hell) destroys the sound. Bottom line is acrylic shells do not have as good of a sound as maple or wood in general (definatly not maple). So if u have any musicianship what so ever. You will not get this drum(nothing against pork pie, there seats are orgasmic). If u want it for looks and very few different sounds go for it, it cracks well i guess. But be careful when buying acrylic drums. If you want a pork pie get a little squeeler especially if you play ska or want a side snare.
