Satin Oil 14"x08" Snare BN : Impressed beyond expectations

3 years ago

I am a DW guy (or fan-boy if you wish). I own 2 DW kits and couple of DW snares so I was let say pretty much prepared for what I've blindly ordered like pair of gloves. But when I first hit this snare I realized my expectations were sub par of what this snare represents, especially with sensitivity. I've immediatelly changed factory heads for Aquarians (standard snare side clear reso, hi-velocity batter). Along with fat, deep sound even on higher tuning, the sensitivity is unbelievably high. Ghost notes are so easy to play and noticed. Having my kit miked in rehearsal room, I've immediatelly turned gate and compressor on snare off because they are pointless with this snare. My heavy music days are probably gone, but even when playing electro music these days, this one's versatillity is superb and fits even lighter styles. Pure perfection
