The installed snare beds are very popular with drummers as many drummers like a reduction of snare buzz and rattle. This makes all the snares rest flush alongside the bottom of the drum head.

Productive Wood Drum Shell Manufacturing and ModificationAll of our drum shells are manufactured from hand picked quality poplar wood panels. The wood mill cuts and delivers to our factory proper sizes for our shells by a computer-controlled saw. After the gluing, rolling, drying, and sanding process, the drum shells are checked for a level check, and measured for accuracy at a 15% sample rate. Next, the laminate wrap is applied, and holes are drilled into the shell for hardware, and sands down the edges of the shell for snare beds. Next, all hardware, drum heads, and snare wires are assembled to the drum shells. Finally, before packaging and shipping to our warehouse distribution location, our quality control technician visually inspects all the drums, and does a performance sound sample with a 5% sample rate. Once the inspections passes our standards, the finished production ships direct to our loading dock, where our sound technicians perform yet another & final sound sample before being fulfilled. |
We Take Sound Serious.Our instruments and studio equipment are sound sampled by our hired sound technician. We focus on being competitive, all while not sacrificing quality of sound. Since most everyone at our brand has an extensive musical background, we are very rigorous in the sound process of equipment. Additionally, it allows us to act quickly and communicate efficiently with our factories production manager on when we see a need for improvement. Before and after each batch run from the factory, our instruments are sampled to confirm the quality, pitch and sound specs remain consistent from our previous production orders. |

The first thing I noticed was that the drum was heavier than I expected; easily on par with any snare of the same size. The shell was reasonably thick and the drum did not feel cheap in the hands like I thought it would. In looking closer, damn near everything about the drum looked on par with if not better than the competitors models. The wood looked quality overall, the bearing edges were even with no notches or chunks or dents on the edge. Very clean and uniform cut. The hardware isn't anything extraordinary, but easily on par with any intermediate drum kit. Nothing crooked or flimsy or obviously of low quality. The rims are fine and clean, Best of all, the throw is actually pretty great! Its outward pull design is easy, reliable, and very fast and easy, and it flows well with no resistance. Snare dial screw was a little stiff at first but WD40 took care of that. Decent heads on both sides, and the snares were even and had equal pull at each end, and were perfectly mounted. Before anything else I took a whack at it to hear it right out of the box, and I simply couldn't believe the sound! Great body, killer projection, and a super present POP with the perfect amount of ring and controlled snare buzz. It was even tuned up nearly perfectly right out of the box. I've managed drum shops for 10 years and THAT was a first. Usually the heads are slack and need to be assembled from the box. The snare feels great to play and has an awesome tonal character to it that contrasts my 7x14 Tama SLP Kapur and my Ludwig 5.5x14 Classic Maple perfectly. It sounds like a professional quality snare and surprisingly holds its tune, and I haven't even changed the stock heads yet! Another first. And the build quality is right there with any lower priced snare ( still 4x the price I paid for this if not more.) Maybe I just got lucky and got a gem over a clunker, but at this price, this drum is easily the best bang for my buck on any snare I have ever bought, and that's a lot of snares. If you are on the fence, you wont be disappointed. Obviously its not built like a $500 snare, but it will take a beating just fine and sing with a voice high above its pay grade and then some. Sorry for the novel but I just had to share my experience so far with the cheapest snare I have ever purchased.
Pros:
1. The packaging and shipping time was great! Came early and was well protected, plus it came with a bottle opener, haha!
2. After playing a round with it for a while, I decided to crank the tuning all the way up on both of the stock drumheads. It sounds AWESOME!!! Kind of like a piccolo snare but with more POP!!!
3. The zebra wood wrap looks GREAT!
4. The tone is going to be very usable in my home studio for myself and other drummers in the future! especially for hip-hop or rock songs.
Cons:
1. The springs inside the lugs ring a tiny bit (very slight)
2. The build quality seems a little bit cheap in the construction. The Wood seems very cheap and soft and the PVC wrap on the outside seems pretty cheap as well.
3. The lugs are a little bit tight when turning the tension rods, but not too terrible.
Overall, I think it’s a great purchase if you’re looking for a cheap snare with a lot of character. Only time will tell how well this drum lasts, but for now, I’ll give it two thumbs up!!!
