Best Pearl B1330 13"x03" Piccolo Snare Alternatives

Based on 1 reviews

A very musical tone, nice and deep but it contains the same essence tuned high. It is ringier than my Aluminium RC. Nice attack, lovely longer sustain which is why it's musical and a decay perfect for the instrument. 13x6.5 model has body too. Can tune it highly and has a fantastic back beat and all the notes between. A great Snare to have with my Aluminium. Like if you dig the Yamaha stuff you can't go wrong with the RC series. Around 500 bones and really worth every one and more. Drum offers real horsepower when I want it. A beautiful professional snare.

For long I had been trying to get a high tuning from 14" snares but trying the same thing on this 13" was effortless. The snare now can be pitched higher without choking. These dimensions and Ludwig craftsmanship generate an easy-to-tune, versatile and sensitive snare with a wide tuning spectrum and a lot of 'crack'. I particularly like the signature Ludwig brass timbre. It really helps a lot in the projection while overtones stay controlled. The stock drumheads unfortunately need to be replaced immediately as they are of low quality. Mind also that it comes with 20 strand snare wires which generate an enhanced white noise buzz in comparison to snares with less strand wires. Overall however and given the price tag I cannot complain about this snare. Again it is very versatile...
