Paiste's Description:
Review: "The 5 1⁄2x 14 drum had a distinctive character all its own. Given its size, it reflected more of the depth and warmth of the Signature alloy, so it had a bigger, “fatter” sound. But I wouldn’t call it a “fatback” snare—at least not with the Remo Ambassador batter it came fitted with. Rather, the fatness was in the sheer comprehensiveness of the sound it produced. No matter how I tuned it, from moderately loose to pretty tight, it had a full spectrum of overtones and a rich character that simply would not be denied. Like its smaller sibling, it was a little ringy—as one might expect from a metal drum with such a dense and reflective shell and surgically sharp bearing edges. But the slightest bit of muffling (I used the narrowest available Zero Ring) would take care of that—if it was even an issue. I was reluctant to reduce any of the sonic output of this acoustic behemoth.
And behemoth it is. It may not be particularly large in depth or diameter, but it’s a hefty puppy for its size: It weighs just under 21 lbs. As I said about Jeff’s earlier drums, make sure you have a sturdy stand and a case with a solid handle."
