I bought this as a Sonor SQ1 addition. It has the same birch characteristics in sound and it is a decent floor tom, but as a snare drum it isn't so impressive. Lover tunings are a bit dull, but if you tune it higher it loses it's floor tom characteristics. The build quality is excellent though.
If you are in a hunt for a deeper snare I would suggest buying... a deeper snare instead of this :)
