12"x5,5" Mighty Mini Snare BK : Could't be better for me

3 years ago

First off, I have fit it with an Evans Onyx, and tuned it low, so that it doesn't sound like a 12' but more as a medium 14'..

I'm relatively new to drums and tuning but I can tell 3 things:

1) This snare sounds better than my 13x7 black wax snare and my 14x6,5 Mapex snare, have put it as my main snare now. I said I'm noob to tuning, but didn't even have to touch the reso.. Put the Onyx, tuned the batter, and it sounded so wonderful I don't dare to touch it more!

2) It is QUIETER! I love the sound of rimshots, but they'd probably deafen everyone in an acoustic gig. Not with this snare! This has certainly to do with the low tuning also (to fit the frequency range of my previous main snare..)

3) It is cheap and gets the job done. Buy it.
