It does the job really well!

This is my first time experience with a piccolo snare drum and I can appreciate the sound a lot. It is super crisp and slightly higher-pitched than a normal 14" snare due to the smaller diameter, of course, and the shallow depth gives is a drier, brighter, tone. However, the brass gives it a lot of tone. The shallow depth does not make it sound dead by any means.
The tuning range seems to suffer a little from the shallow depth, but that is normal and expected. Still, I would have liked for Pearl to offer piccolo snares that are at least 4" or 5" deep. But those snare drums are not very popular on the market. I cannot find any, in fact.
And perhaps more lugs would have been a better asset for this drum. But everything is great. I bet that this snare would sound quite cutting especially with a close microphone as opposed to room microphone.
Overall, I am very satisfied. If you want a particular higher "crack" sound, you will not be disappointed. I was going to forget to mention that I personally like to tune the bottom head a perfect 5th above the batter head. I find that this gives me the most pleasing tone!

Side snare? Main snare? Why not both?

It's a super 3x13 brass piccolo by Pearl. should be used when you want a compressed, dense sound.

Da Popt doch was?

Piccolo Snares werden oft verkannt - zu klein, zu leise, nicht durchdringend, nur Effekt. *meh*

Aber! Dieses kleine Gerät, hochgestimmt, macht richtig Laune. Jeder Schlag geht durch und durch - einen schönen fetten Backbeat bekommt man bei dieser Snare frei Haus!

Sie klingt dabei durchaus warm und fügt sich sehr gut in das Gesamtbild ein - wenn es filigraner sein darf, besticht sie durch sehr gute Ansprache bei sehr niedrigen Dynamiken.

Bei mir hat sie mittlerweile die Ian Paice Signature Snare am Set verdrängt und ist nun meine Hauptsnare.

Schönes Teil - ruhig mal reinhören!
