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...
