12"x5,5" Mighty Mini Snare BK : Mega Crack for Mini Cash

Honestly, this snare has no business being as good as it is for what they're charging for it. Like I said in the title: This. Thing. CRACKS.

Granted, you have to put in a little time tuning it up and situating the heads (or replacing them), but once you've got it dialed in, get ready to pick your jaw up off the floor.

I started out by putting this up on my practice kit to sort of break it in, but I was immediately caught by how powerful the rimshots rang out. They genuinely weren't joking by calling this thing "mighty".

Positives: Unparalleled sound quality for price point, solid hardware, built-in mount for easy side-snare option

Negatives: Stock heads beaten up quite quickly, tuning may not hold long-term, finish on shell not very scratch-resistant, side-mount may get in the way of some setups

The only place where this snare may be lacking is in "zone diversity". If you just need a solid center hit/rimshot sound for your kit, then it's a fantastic option. If you're looking for something with a lot of nuance and flare, then you may be slightly disappointed.

All in all: Great snare. 10/10 would buy again.
