Pearl Free Floatizzle.

Pulse I heard was a good snare.

Maybe a Yamaha. David Garbidali or Maple Absolute.

Black Panther?

Tama Starclassic/Artwood.

Piccolo snares aren't supposed to have a lot of body i think they are made for pretty much all crack but i may be wrong

Yeah. Crack, and generally softer types of music.

That's what he's going to do. ;). Ehh... My next snare is going to be piccalo. I guess it's more of an aux/fits-the-music type snare. But since it is his second snare, and he's already got like... 14x5.5 ?

they sound like paper to me. i dont like them because they have a small tuning range, which most normal sized snares can reach with good tuning..

Yeah, But their really no supposed to be fit "All Types Of Music", or have a massive tuning range.

This guy already HAS a piccalo snare. 14x3.5 at least. OMG lol, don't even think about picking up a piccalo snare. Get something else. Lol, don't get anything at all. It sorta looks like you don't know whatcha want.

I have a 3x14" Metal Piccolo by Premier. I think it's a Premier No.11, and I also believe it's...75 years old? I swear it plays like a dream. Crisp, responsive, and just screams funk at me.

Ive heard alot of bands playing hard loud stuff with Piccolo snares. Does anyone know what type of snare CTTS uses? Regardless Piccolos sound good to me... I know Black Panther has a wide range of them... Pork Pies the shh
