Pearl Piccolo Maple Snare Drum
Powerhouse Pop!
A piccolo snare is often something of a specialty snare, and many drummers feature a larger snare and use a piccolo as a secondary snare. That’s not a bad way to use the Pearl Piccolo Maple Snare Drum, the M1330, because tuned high it delivers a very distinctive and bright pop that cuts through very audibly, while still maintaining a tone that is much warmer than comparable steel or brass snares. But don’t undersell this 3X13 powerhouse – many leading drummers make primary use of their Pearl Piccolo Maple Snare Drum and find an amazing tuning range that puts the tones right where you want them, with plenty of crackle and ping. Crisp rim shots project nicely, too.
Musicians drumming out a wide range of beats enjoy the surprising power and versatility of the Pearl Piccolo Maple Snare Drum, and find it a must for hot snare fills. The set up and tuning are easy, so jazz, rock and alternative, pop, and just about everything else sounds better with a Pearl piccolo, employing a durable 6-ply aged maple shell. Some find it too piercing to use as a main snare, but that can be offset by tuning it lower, and others choose to switch to sturdier die cast hoops instead of the stock steel. With those considerations in mind, virtually all users have found a productive place on their kit for this gorgeously finished unit. Quality used snares are available as low as $50, while new ones range from $229 to $249.
