I play in a punk band, we also go into some reggae, jazz, metal and funk. I use a Pearl Piccolo, its only 13" by 3" i think but it gets an awesome sound oh yeah its also maple! but the thing is I really like the full bodied, tight, punchy sound, which I can get from my Piccolo.
I just either put an O ring on or off depending on what sound suits the song best!
I am also eyeing off a Gretsch Maple Snare, 12" by 5.5"
My motivation behind buying this is that it will give me the tight, punchy-ness of the piccolo but because it is deeper it will bring in a bit more bottom end which I feel I need for alot of stuff. I also think it will sound sweet for recording!
What does everyone else think of this snare Im contemplating buying?
if you want a high pitch "punchy" snare sound but want the fullness of a reg. snare go with the joey jordison signature if you can afford it. listen to some slipknot 3.0 for the sound of it. idk what u guys think but it is the best snare in my book
