Best Piccolo Snare Drum of 2018 - Review

Posted in Drums | Last Updated on January 20, 2018

Why not Add a Piccolo to Your Arsenal and Vary Your Attack! Drummers tend to collect snare drums more than any other piece of the sound puzzle. Snares have tremendous individual “personality,” and none have more than the often overlooked it. Piccolo snares are shallow snares, usually just 3 inches deep, and rarely wider than 13 inches, which is the most prevalent width.

Experienced drummers know a piccolo, often used as a secondary snare, can be used to fantastic effect. Maple piccolos deliver super high, super crisp sound that cuts through the din with great projection and plenty of crack. Shining, high-spectrum attack is the chief characteristic of the piccolo snare, as it delivers an “alternate” voice to the featured snare, and gives the drummer the flexibility of tuning the featured snare looser to cover more tonal ground.
