It's a relationship
To start, this is my best snare. I've owned four after market snares including one boutique snare, and this has outshined the others in one field or another. Best sound and best tuning stability. That being said, I have found two drawbacks: the hoops are thin and get bent over from rimshots easily, and a piece of the plastic inside of the throwoff broke and jammed the mechanism so i had to take it apart and work on it a bit. Other than that, this drum has no bad qualities and I used it in the studio for my band's upcoming debut record. Would highly recommend
