      One stick on the snare and the other one on the piccolo snare together produces a great harmony as the pic. is pitched slightly higher. Great price for an addition.

            I was looking for a new snare drum because my throw off switch broke from old age.I saw this snare, and it has me hooked.I love it. Great price for a beginer, and such a snappy sound.Couldnt be happier.

              I got this snare for a great price, and it's affordable to begin with ... I'm amazed at how good it sounds, considering how inexpensive it is. Great crack to it, and it has a nice pitch. I'm very happy to have made this purchase.

              Exactly what you need to get that sound for those dope fills if you're gonna play drums in a band that has anything to do ska music. All you gotta do is turn the snare off and tune it up high.

              Mapex Piccolo Snare

              By Ashton Laine

              from Albemarle, NC

              Comments about Mapex Steel Piccolo Snare Drum:

              Overall, this is a great snare. I would use it for a primary snare if I had too. It has good quality sound for an inexpensive drum. Great value. I've never had a backup snare and I was wanting to aquire a piccolo snare, so I thought for the price, what the heck, I was really pleasantly surprised.
              For the price this snare is really good. Sounds good, I'm using it for a practice snare and it will serve as a backup snare.
              It tunes up really well, 8 lugs for tuning is really good. Has a good sound.
              This snare is made really well, 8 lugs for tuning (not usually found on a inexpensive drum) the throw off is good, and it has a 20 strand snares. For the price it is a excellent drum.

              Fantastic snare, exceptional value!

              By Charlie Korch

              from Atlanta, GA

              Comments about Mapex Steel Piccolo Snare Drum:

              This snare sounds great regardless of price. When you consider price, it is unbeatable. Cutting, with plenty of crack, this snare can be used for either a main snare, or a side snare. I currently use mine tuned up rather high. It is perfect for funky breakdowns, ala James Brown. The batter head also has a nice "rough" surface that works great with brushes. For the price you pay, it is worth having this as a second snare, just in case you break a head at a gig, and don't have time to swap heads. Do yourself a favor, and pick this little wonder up. You won't regret it!

              Awesome snare!

              By Kevin-GbCNG

              from Colorado

              Comments about Mapex Steel Piccolo Snare Drum:

              This is so identical to the 149.99 Mapex MPX piccolo its not funny. Great snare even with the stock heads, of coarse higher quality ones will be better when these wear out. I tuned it to a mid pitch and applied one moongel and it sounds fantastic!... I am actually using this as my main snare right now and really like it. Sharp cutting crack of the whip and very responsive. I compared it to a MPX snare and all I could tell the difference on is the strainer on the MPX is a little fancier and maybe different hoops, other than that I couldn't see the difference. If you are looking for a cheap auxiliary snare on the cheap but not cheap quality look no further.
