start drumming! pick up any percussive instrument like a pair of bongos and just get familiar with using your hands to play! anyone can do this kinda thing
@@nateballfr it one thing playing the drums. It's another thing entirely to be any good, let alone master the drums. It takes thousands of hours of practice. The kind of obsession and dedication needed is just insane but that goes for almost any instrument and they all have their difficulties.
I agree. Super fat at low and mid tunings. Too bad most people crank 'em up. Wanting that Stuart Copeland sound. Not a bad sound mind you. But it's just that these are soooooo versatile.
I went through a faze where I had to have a picalo. I had the pearl, flat black steel version. Sweet drum. They were super popular at the time. I had mine for about a year. Then I sold it.
@@frankspikes4867 I've had my Pearl flat black piccolo for ~15 years, and I agree with everything said here. It's definitely a lot more versatile than snares twice as deep. I still bring it out from time to time. Right now, I'm using it with my Country/Rockabilly band in order to get that fast Nitty Gritty Dirt Band snare sound.
This is what I decided on as my next snare. Love the snappy "pop" of this, mixed with the slight bottom end of maple. A great mix of both. Getting one this weekend, as this is the sound I've been seeking for our old school prog metal band. (also curious to see how this'd sound with a Big Fat Snare Drum on it).
Kind of amazed at this thing. This is the first time I’ve found myself liking the sound of a shallow snare. Usually whenever I hear these things they don’t sound good at all
Like the pop on the piccolos. Sounds good in jam band, rap rock, reggae. Might be wrong but Chad Sexton from 311 sounds like he uses one of these on songs like Beautiful Disaster and Amber.
If I ever get an acoustic drum set (I have an Alesis Nitro Mesh 8 Piece) THIS is the type of snare I want. It is good for like any type of music, and I LOVE the high pitched snare sound. I was also at Sam Ash last month and was playing a tama rock kit with a double bass and a black version similar to this snare was on that kit. WOW it had a lot of pop and pitch. I loved it. Anyways, I really like this snare.
Me neither...also 14x8 are very heavy and big...not good for the daily gig drummer...13x3 is good for me, at the end of the day it’s all about the Head and tuning...
@@kar1484 it does ok. I like it for funk or reggae. It was used in the blood sugar sex magic album by red hot chilli peppers. I love how chad smiths drums sounded in that album
It totally depends on what you're going after. I own this snare in black and it's fantastic but it does not replace my Sonor 14x5 1/2" snare by any means. My favorite style of music to play with this snare is funk but you have to think of other styles. For example, one of the biggest selling bands in history AC/DC would sound horrible with a piccolo snare in their music.
Nice. I like deep snares, but searching for a sidesnare, which gives the "kick ass shock" when hitting it and that - at very high pitch - damn, maybe thats it.
In my school they have this old Ludwig piccolo and it was at a medium tuning with stock heads... so, I put a controlled sound x on it, tightened the snares, made the snare side higher and tuned the son of bitch high and it's like a gun shot... its beautiful, the overtones are terrible though... moon gels do wonders to its sound
I have used the exact black steel 13×3 pearl as a main before...for about a year. That is until I found a pearl 14×6.5 chrome steel shell Professional Series snare for $75 at a pawn shop. Little mentioned about this snare but let me say th as t it is something special. Sounds incredible.
Hi, what heads would you recommend and snare drum wires to get a very similar sound from the last part of the video. VERY HIGH TUNNED :D - Thanks mates
It sounds great like many piccolo snare drums do, until you see the price. Then your like I can push down on my snare head with my stick and make it sound like that.
Their range is limited in comparison to a 14x5.5 or 14x6.5. You won't be able to get the same full sound that you would get with a deeper drum. This drum really does best in mid to high tuning. Thanks!

Piccolo snares are so good for metal music.
Eyeless by slipknot would be great
And especially for Funk Music!
ESPECIALLY for goregrind and gorenoise!
They always cut through!
Oh, and it's also excellent for brutal death metal and slam!
I love the high pitch snap of the piccolo snare. Almost makes me wish I was a drummer.
If your not a drummer, why are you watching this?

@Club Soda I HATE how people think that drumming is super easy. It takes just as much skill as any other instrument if not WAY MORE to be good.
If ur not a drummer why r u here then

It's so full sounding at lower pitch.... always found smaller snare drums insanely underrated.
depends on how you tune
agree

I had this snare back in probably 2008 when I played in metal bands. Always got so many compliments on it.
Same here. Played rock with it. Always fit in so well but cut through the music at the same time. Bandmates liked it as well...
when in doubt, in piccolo ping we trust
My go-to snare. When i was a punk band drummer.
This guy is better than me with only hi hats, snare drum and bass drum than I am with my whole kit!
Amazed at the big sound from this small drum. I'd never know it was a piccolo, let alone a 13" by the sound.
0:46 best sound ever
This is what I decided on as my next snare.

You had me at the low tuning. Lovely rudiments - and crisp af as the tuning tightens. So good!
Kind of amazed at this thing. This is the first time I’ve found myself liking the sound of a shallow snare. Usually whenever I hear these things they don’t sound good at all
Tasty playing and a lovely sounding drum.
Best snare demo ive come across. Subbed!
the definitive nu metal snare
my mother's friend gave me one of these today for free. it's been sitting in her garage for years. her ex husband never came back for it. freebie
lucky @ss haha
I own and love this snare!
Like the pop on the piccolos. Sounds good in jam band, rap rock, reggae. Might be wrong but Chad Sexton from 311 sounds like he uses one of these on songs like Beautiful Disaster and Amber.
Surprisingly good! Love the deep tuning
I am liking the maple better than steel

I love how you transitioned to "songo" beat
Time for some drum and bass
I love piccolo
Oh ! ....That's what a piccolo is used for ! My nephews use it to get into the snack drawers
Hell of a drummer!
beautiful drum.
Great tight , snappy 60s sound . Not sure about price, but very appealing, even for jazz.
+Roy Beckerman I have this steel version and i play mostly jazz, it's great and inexpensive
Alright you've convinced me
There guy jams!
LOVE IT
Wish I could play like that
Love this sound...can’t understand why people go for 14x8” snares.
Prefer this sound.
Depends on the music you play, I suppose.
Me neither...also 14x8 are very heavy and big...not good for the daily gig drummer...13x3 is good for me, at the end of the day it’s all about the Head and tuning...
Does this type of snare drum suite rock?
@@kar1484 it does ok. I like it for funk or reggae. It was used in the blood sugar sex magic album by red hot chilli peppers. I love how chad smiths drums sounded in that album

Those hands can make you buy anything
Great demo!
I once owned a 10x5 and it sounded awesome..
Pearl?
I have a Pearl "Popcorn" 10", great as high snare when used alongside a standard 14" snare.
Nice chops, inverted cheeses, flam fives...
Crazy good drumming
Is it the late nineties again?
You stop beating on that drum 🥁
higher tuning piccolo is great for hyper fast blast beats drumming...
awesome

Just bought one!!! :)))
Daniel Trochei how do you like it ?!
Anyone use piccolo snare as a main snare ?
Me, this same one except in black steel
I have used the exact black steel 13×3 pearl as a main before...for about a year. That is until I found a pearl 14×6.5 chrome steel shell Professional Series snare for $75 at a pawn shop. Little mentioned about this snare but let me say th as t it is something special. Sounds incredible.

Namekian drums
what kinda hi hat cymbals are you playing sounds perfect
It sounds great like many piccolo snare drums do, until you see the price.
Then your like I can push down on my snare head with my stick and make it sound like that.
cool pancake
now i'm wondering what kind of hats he's playing..
Can you use these for band as a marching band snare drum or those are different.
No, those are very deep, usually more than 10 inches deep.
can somebody please demo a soprano snare next to a piccolo snare?
What is the difference, based on the sound between the brass and maple?
Brûler Soft brass will be slightly brighter with a metallic ring.
good day guys! newbie here, would like to ask if how does it differ from a regular snare? besides the size :)
This will be a lot more poppy and responsive due to the small size. Hitting a drum vs small bucket same physics
Chris Adler sent me here
1:22 i love sextuplets so much
How is the tuning range for a piccolo snare?
It is limited?
im just commenting so i get the notification if someone answers :D
Their range is limited in comparison to a 14x5.5 or 14x6.5. You won't be able to get the same full sound that you would get with a deeper drum. This drum really does best in mid to high tuning. Thanks!
Thank you for the reply
:)
You're welcome!
