Millenium 13"x3,5" Black Beast Snare

For 75€, you cant go wrong

Change the heads, maybe, depends on how geeky you are (haha), change the strains, and the snare just works excelent.

excellent quality and great sound

Great value!

For the price you get great value for this drum! And it truly is a beast. Action, volume, range, it’s all there, Even with the stock head it sounds really nice if you tweak it a bit. A damper? Maybe. Or you keep your technique in cheque and play center head if u want to keep the overtones out 😉 Lovely instrument for festivals / samba batteria gigs.

Makes you blink - in a good way.

When I was young, my friend's dad had a Ludwig Black Beuty snare drum. What I remember most about that snare is the way it made you blink with the power and tone.

While not quite as breathtaking as that 70s snare classic, this snare gets a long way there. much further than it ought to for its price, in fact.

I've had drummers surprised by how good such a cheap snare is; I certainly am.

If you need a solid snare but can't afford the big guns, or you just want an affordable back-up snare, this is the one.

A black beauty

If you are lookin' for that crispy sound and your budget is humble, this is the snare to buy!

Cheap but pretty good

Of course, one shouldn't have insane expectations from a snare drum that costs like two top-notch heads, but actually it is pretty good bang (no pun intended but it is applicable) for buck. The stock heads are OK but this drum actually sounds quite seriously good when armed with high quality heads - it should be able to serve both as a primary or a secondary snare and face the nominally much more expensive opposition in the piccolo snare class. The tightening mechanism is a bit crude but gets the job done, and the build quality is actually pretty fine.

Decent and sturdy

Not much to say about this 13" snare - I mainly use it in combination with a mesh-head and drumtrigger. To replace the undersized drum-pads with v-drums.

Overall quality is good for the price you pay

Worth the price

Good snare for that price. Can very effectively be used as a second snare to have additional textures. I often place on top a splash or other sorts of material to generate exotic sounds.

The mounted drumhead is not exactly great.

The material seems a bit fragile, let's see how long it will last.

a beast indeed

the black beast is a beast indeed out of the box it realy sounds great give a realy good pop when tuned high, and im using it as my second snare

Millenium 13"x3,5" Black Beast Snare

So this is my metal shell snare to compliment my Sonor TT Essential Birch wood Shell Snare previously bought.

The quality is so impressive and it's a weighty piece of kit with a truly lovely attention to detail. The tuning lugs turn smoothly with no "dry-grabbing" evident on some lesser Snare Drums which makes it very easy to tune to a high pitch delivering a wonderful sharp crack of sound.

It's the perfect second Snare Drum for my kit when I need that metal sharp sound for some music styles. Not only that, it's a beautiful looking Drum too.
