Oh, wow... What a drum!!!
By Fun2Drum
When I was ordering this snare drum, my biggest worry was whether a $600 drum would really bring that much more to the table than a $300 drum. In this case, it does. My 6 1/2 X 14 finally arrived and I immediately changed the batter head over to a Remo Ambassador coated. My stick never touched the stock head because I just didn't want to hear it that way. I tightened the new head to what I assumed would be about a medium tension and whacked it with a 5B. WOW!!! I couldn't believe how I could feel it in my gut while hearing that perfect ring with no bad overtones. My beloved other brand copper shell drum sounds like a pile of dog poo beside this awesome drum. Honestly you don't need tube lugs or die cast hoops for this thing to rock your world. It's among the most recorded and most famous snare drums in existence, and there's a good reason why... Because it's the best. It's expensive because the process to make the shell is time consuming and costs a lot. That's why other drums just don't come close to sounding like the Black Beauty - No other drum is really made like it. On that note, and to make things even better, it's made in the USA in Monroe, North Carolina. If you're on the fence between this one and another, please do yourself a favor and buy the Black Beauty, even if you have to save up for a while. This is the dream drum that you keep for life and hand down to the next generation. I'm going to go play some more now.
