Añade mucho color al set, se puede usar como main o side, demasiado ataque y volumen para su tamaño. El único pero que le pongo es la palanca del entorchado, no es de muy buena calidad.

The snare strainer does not have enough throw or travel. When the snares are adjusted properly for playing with the snares on, when I turn the strainer off the snares are still in contact with the resonant head. Even when I adjust the snares looser, they still contact the reso head when off. I have to loosen the snares so much that they are too loose before turning them off will move them from the reso head and allow the drum to sound correct.If the seller monitors this, please advise on a possible solution. Otherwise I will be returning this drum. It's too bad because it otherwise sounds good.UPDATE: I have returned the drum and ordered a different brand for a bit more money.

Pros: The short fuse in my opinion is a great little addition to any kit. I love that it has a mount on the side of the shell and also comes with an L-rod and clamp for mounting purposes. I love the size of it and the depth. It's easily mountable and fits in tight spaces. It gives you a very nice crack and also substitutes for a higher toned timbale when the strainer is off. I think that is a plus when used with the right genre of music.Cons: The only thing in my opinion is that rhe strainer is whack!! It's bent and also the parts aren't completely fixated. I think they're asking a bit much for this drum given it has an almost unusable strainer system. With the strainer not being very well put together, it tends to pull the wires off center a bit. That could be a problem.All in all I ordered a new batter and reso head and replaced the stock heads. I also ordered a puresound blaster series set of wires. It sounds 10x better given the head changes and the snare wire change. The nylon strips that come with the puresound snare wires allow it to be tightened down better so that the strainer isn't as loose and is somewhat operational. With some adjustments you can make the wires hit center of the head. All in all a good drum, but a bit lacking in quality. I don't it should be priced for over $100. But the given mount and L-rod counter balance that off. Four stars for me.

This snare drum is excellent for a jungle kit or small drum set for small or outdoor gigs. My jungle kit includes a 14" floor tom converted to a bass drum, 8" rack tom mounted to a stand with the Pearl snare drum attached to the stand as well. The snare is well made and sounds great. I cannot wait to hear how it sounds outside in the park for gigs.

I'm an American Hispanic, I play timbales, salsa music, but when looking for a snare down it had to be pearl, because all other companies make snare downs, but I remember when growing up here in New York City, I used to watch Don's Kirshner Rock Concert, and one thing I remember that when a rock band plays rock they usually only use a drummer, and I feel that the most important drum for them is their snare drum, in no way am I speaking bad about salsa, I have played it my whole life for 47 years, but I grew up listening to rock bands, salsa bands and every other type of bands, Pearl has been around for a very long time, plus Pearl Rocks, this is a real snare drum and I will use it in a salsa band. God Bless America and salsa and rock. Need I say that this is a great snare drum. ffsalsa/ff.

I love this snare, it has a crisp sound and plays nicely without a lot of overtones. The heads that come on it are pretty good and I didn't have to do much tuning to get a tone i liked. One thing I really like is the mount that it comes with because it doesn't require it's own stand. I play a double bass kit and considered going to a single bass to close the gap between my hi-hats and snare...I mounted this snare to my hi-hat stand and it made the kit come to life like never before! I can easily move my leg below the snare to use the double bass. I like the sound of it enough that I use it as my main snare and use my 14" for accents. It would be a great snare to use in a fusion kit or on the road for smaller venues.

i used my friends drum set to play and what not, the old snare he had unfortunately got stolen with his truck...so at that time i thought ill get any snare i could afford no matter how crappy, searched online for a few days andsaw this snare within my price range, i bought it, it shipped pretty fast and was soon at my house, all i did wasa bit of adjusting with the stock heads and i got really amazing tones out of this snare, after wearing out the stockhead ive put and a hazyy 300 snare side,and i got to tell ya one of most amazing sounds ive heard come out of snare, would definitely buy from Pearl again

Ive used a few different snares that were a little more expensive and even some steel snares but i absolutely love this one. I originally bought it to match my solid black kit and i wanted a wood snare, but when it ended up sounding better than expected i didnt go back to my old snares. I did play with a few different heads to see which sound i liked better and batter heads with this wood sounds great. Favorite part was the price! I thought i was gona have to buy another snare cus this one was rather cheap but nope. Solid buy
