Paiste's Description:
Review: "To get back into the “real world” of a drum review, let me say that my favorite of the two drums we were sent was the 4x13 model. It’s no secret that I’m particularly fond of 13" snare drums; I’ve said so many times over the years in these pages. But in this case, part of my preference was due to the combination of the tonal depth and resonance of the Signature alloy, combined with the higher pitch and cutting power inherent in a drum this size. It seemed to me to be the perfect combination, resulting in a drum that sounded as sweet when played with a pair of brushes as it sounded aggressive when whacked with a drumstick. (And that’s a take-your-head-off sort of whack usually reserved for piccolo drums with thirty-ply shells.)
Not that this baby was any lightweight. In fact, that’s the other reason I preferred it. Given its 1⁄4"-thick bronze shell, die-cast hoops, and machined-brass fittings, a drum this size was just about all I could manage to carry! (It weighed in at a respectable 15 lbs.)"
