Wateva it is, the best way is to try everything hands-on personally. Comments on piccolo?Its either u wan tat kinda fast, high-pitch sound wif crack or u dun. So if u love a 'poppy' sound wif lotsa crack like me, piccolo is a good choice and it serve well as a primary snare and also as an auxiliary. Used to own a Tama Bronze piccolo. A well-made and great sounding snare, pearl's got a good line of piccolos too. Hmm, talkin abt reviews, am tinkin of coming up wif reviews of my snares and those tat i had the chance gettin intimate wif...
