Members PlayboyChris Posted November 29, 2006 Members Share Posted November 29, 2006 I'm not a drummer but I own the kit that we use for our jam sessions (Premier 4-piece, 14" rack, 16" floor, 22" kick). Right now I have a Pork Pie Little Squealer that I bought because I like the crack but now I'm thinking maybe something bigger fuller would be better. Any opinions on this one? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Pork-Pie-Big-Black-Steel-Snare-Drum-with-Tube-Lugs?sku=447810 What type of tone might I expect from brass? Can you still tune it up to get a nice crack out of it? Like I said, I'm not a drummer, but I know what type of snare sound I like ... full but with a penetrating crack. Nothing worse than a snare that sounds like a splat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimeKeeper310 Posted November 29, 2006 Members Share Posted November 29, 2006 Yesterday, I ordered the new snare that SPAUN released....I'm hoping it has the sound, similar to what you described..... since, they described it's tone, as being as being dark and more focused, with a loud, cracking attack? I'll let ya know, when it comes in:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimeKeeper310 Posted November 29, 2006 Members Share Posted November 29, 2006 ...and, only $20. difference in price.....I'm not totally against brass/steel snares...I've just always preferred the warmth of a wood shell snare...warmth, yet, still with a nice 'crack'...

Members ckcondon Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 I've got a Big Black, and for the price it kills! It's deeper than my Chad Smith and has a lot of sensitivity as well. Highly recommend! Chris C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them being only 3 or 4 inches deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members drumsdb Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 I've got a Big Black also and It gets the crack you're looking for!! When a tall white jewish boy has a big black, people take notice!!!!! You've got to be carefu though. When your laying down your groove with the big black, you can really hurt someone. Hurt soooo good! What were we talking about again.... oh yeah Pork Pie Big Black - Excellent Snare for the $$, I highly recommend... and I am a snare whore! Plus, since it's fairly inexpensive, you can take your big black out for gigs, and won't mind as much if someone spills some juice or slobbers all over it...
