Pearl CMSX High-Tension Competitor Marching Snare (Crappy Sound) demo

Heads - Stock Heads that come with the drum

Sticks - Taped Tre Cool sticks (I just recently broke my pair of Ralph Hardimonds. Don't judgee=])

A very good snare worth the price. Only $299 US dollars for a 14/12. The sound quality makes it sound like a crappy powerlite (just in case you noticed, I'm using a powerlite carrier from my middle school. The drum comes with the carrier attachment=]), but up close, it sounds incredible. Almost exactly alike from a pricey, decked out snare. Basically, the only difference is the wood that the shell is made of, and the snare throwoffs. They come with GUT snares. But sadly, are not the type you can individually tighten.To get the great marching snare sound, you have to CRANK the top head AND the bottom heads, and tweak with the snare tensions. The drum comes with a drum key, but the small version of it. So I just had to take a wrench, and pull on the key with the wrench, instead of painfully using my bare hand.

Yes, from what I've heard, and the reviews, you CAN put kevlar on it=]

OH - Just in case you were wondering, I bought it USED off:

Happy drumming=]

@Chawesome92697 both if you want a sound that's closer to an FFX

[Chawesome92697]

@EnjoiSkate87 And will I want to change the batter and snare side heads, or just the batter?

[Chawesome92697]

@EnjoiSkate87 I'm not even buying it, some of my relatives are, and I don't know if they'll have that extra money. They just recently moved my grandmother in, and moved into a new house as well

[EnjoiSkate87]

@Chawesome92697 no, it will sound just a little better, but if you want a nice drum core style pop, then go with a dynasty because you are bound to be happier.

[Chawesome92697]

@EnjoiSkate87 what I mean is...if I put a white max on them and tighten the fuck out of the head and guts, will it sound somewhat like a shitty FFX?

[EnjoiSkate87]

@Chawesome92697 hopefully you haven't bought it yet, because my school has these and I personally despise them, and for about another hundred you could get a new dynasty.

*gag*

*throw up*

*burst into tears*

That is what I did when I heard this video. :( I'm sorry that you had to hear this lomac.

[PlanetSIX1]

so if you replace the heads with kevlar types and crank the tension up, it'll sound like a normal drumline snare if you know what i mean?? thanks

[MultiRonnie1234]

hm put some better heads on it

[ajcf1995]

@dunnellonful yeah, you can
