Piccolo and Effects Snare Drums have become some of the most widely used and best selling Snare Drums in popular music today. Their crisp brilliant attack and tight sound with excellent projection have led many players to use them as both a secondary and primary snare. – The 12” x 7” Soprano Effect snare drum is the bigger brother of the Sopranino snare drum, because of its extended depth and diameter, the sound is richer and warmer, but still the sound that you’d expect from an effect snare. The 8 ply maple shell makes this snare a loud effect snare! Model M1270 Soprano – Size 12” x 7″Shell 8 ply maple – Hoops 1.6mm Steel – Lugs CL-100Tension Rods 8Strainer SR-018Wires S-031N
