This is a good intermediate introduction to metal snares. The hardware possibilities are many with both customizing the snare tension on the throw off side and the opposite side. Each lug have a quick release option when changing heads which makes it fast and easy to regain tension. The brass looks wonderful and it cracks beautifully. Still haven't changed the heads since the preseated heads sound wonderful.
The brass sings nicely, tone is naturally high, attack as sharp and crackles like a good metal snare should do. Impressive
