Side snare is a 10x6 pdp maple, keeping on the cheap like a boss, only 95 bucks if I remember correctly

@Eizensbakulis The snare isn't bad under any circumstances... I just got mine and I fell in love with it. Its more for a budget-conscious drummer that still wants to get a rad sound out of a drum and I definitely have found it. I recommend it by all means and it only costs $60.

@XxStrongDrums1996xX I think you might be right. I've been looking around online and found a review saying pretty much the same thing. The guy said the only differences he could tell in appearance/sound was that the snare throw-off on the MPX drum was a bit nicer and it had different hoops, but otherwise no difference, so if I can manage to get a refund for my Sensitone snare I'll just try out the $60 piccolo snare and see how I like it.

@XxStrongDrums1996xX I'd like to try them side by side and see if there's much of a difference.
Would you reccomend this drums for someone that wants to self teach themselves? Because i want get a drum for my birthday but i don't know which i should use, since i've never drummed before, and i want to get one as soon as possible. (17th b-day)

@BPRINC1 - This would be OK, but you might be better off considering a drum in a 14" diameter, between 5 and 6.5 deep. It will be a better snare overall (in terms of versatility) and is something you could keep if you really get into drumming and use for just about anything. The 3x13 piccolo size is a pretty specific sound and not too many people use them as their primary snares with a full kit. Hope that helps!

@DrumCenterNH Thanks a lot for responding means a lot. Would a 14" be as cheap?

@BPRINC1 - A 5.5x14 MPX Steel snare would be the same price as the 3x13

Currently using Black Panther's Black Widow, a 14 x 5.5. Trying to get a "softer" or "less body" volume soft of sound... will this piccolo somewhat help?

@rendyonline Piccolos definitely do have less body and can be softer, although I would recomend a wood shell drum for a "softer" sound.
