	Snare drum Reviews
		Oh, the drum is gorgeous, the attention to detail is perfect, the bearingedges are perfect and every component was fully tight and rattle-free (all of which I have come to expect from Spaun).
		The drum came to me in an unplayable state, the bottom head had been cranked so far up that it was totally choked and the snare was tensioned so tight that it barely responded at all, the batter head was all over the place with ringiness and overtones spoiling any proper sound from the drum.
		This is a drum with a lot of character, I like the 13" size as it facilitates the higher tunings, it's maybe not ideal for a low tuning rock gig as it has a a medium-low fundamental at the lower tunings, however the range is versatile enough to cope with many different types of uses.

		I usually use a drum bus for kick, snare, and toms, and a separate overhead bus with eq and compression for hi-hat and overhead mics.
