Frequently Asked Questions

It's brighter and more focused than many other steel piccolo snares, leaning towards a more defined, cutting sound rather than a wash of overtones.
Absolutely, its clarity makes it ideal for recording; a small-diaphragm condenser mic placed slightly above the rim will capture its nuances well.
For rock or heavier styles, a small amount of moongel on the batter head will tame the high frequencies; for jazz, minimal or no dampening will preserve its airy quality.
