At first glance this is a fairly good looking drum . There is a nice grain pattern showing through the black gloss finish and the black hoops enhance the sultry vibe. It appears to be a well built snare drum for the price point.
Now for the heads-up or rather heads-off! I’m sorry , call me a drum snob but the best way to to improve any drum is to put good heads on it : so off comes the remo ut (not made in USA) heads and on goes the ambassador coated batter & emperor clear reso .
Now we are getting somewhere . A wee bit of tweaking and we have a very decent sounding snare drum that gives a great crack when cranked up a bit.
By the way - I always use O’ rings (Aquarian, Remo or Evan’s) and/or moon gel to control unwanted overtones.
