An auxiliary snare already poses many benefits for drummers onstage and when recording, but the compressed dimensions of the Meinl Percussion Compact side snare from Sweetwater offer drummers an entirely new take. Measuring just 10 inches across and a mere 3.5 inches deep, the Compact Side Snare delivers its warm maple-shelled punch with outstanding brightness and a super-crisp response. Tune up, and hear this snare cut with an unmistakable trebly brilliance. Lower the tension, and the Compact Side Snare sings a richer and more resonant song. Its traditional-style snare and throw off, plus a generous lug configuration and an outfit of triple-flanged hoops, prove extra-convenient for on-the-fly adjustments to achieve a snare sound to match any mix. Additionally, concert percussionists will benefit just as much from the versatility of this Meinl side snare, making it an excellent high-tuned auxiliary option to meet the needs of every composition.
