any feedback on a 13x3.5 mapex picollo?? plano ko bumili this september eh which is better for metal music?? maple or brass?? thanxx.. d pa kase ako nagkakaroon ng 13" na snare eh hehehe out oftopic ata tong post ko
oo nga mas ok na ang brass, mas articulated ang strokes mo plus mas malakas pa siya, darker overtones din compared sa steel... pero my thoughts on using a 13x3.5...kasi sir, if you use picollos on metal music, di ba parehas lang sila nasa high pitch, usually, pag metal music, you use cutting and bright crashes, tapos mga crispy sounding hats, kapag ang snare mo eh high pitch din, especially 3-3.5 pa, di kaya mas mahihirapan yun marinig?

para lang sa akin ito sir, kapag metal ang genre niyo, mas maganda ata kung ang kukunin niyo na snare yung may depth, para mas solid at punchy ang attack. I used to have a 13x3 pearl picollo and have used lildrummerboy's 13x3.5 mapex picollo on our music, sometimes, we also play heavy music, napansin ko na hirap siya mag project, plus nakakabitin yung punch niya dahil nga 3.5 lang ang depth nito. Pagdating sa mga pop at mga fusion, oks naman ang picollos...good crack, sensitive at focused...pero syempre, malaking factor ang tuning din. hope you find what you're looking for kapatid. godbless.
pero if you really want the pitch of a picollo with added power to that punch, 13x5-6.5 maybe the sound you're looking for, but usually deeper snares tend to lose the crack...and the solution for that is getting good quality snare wires or getting more strands on your snare wire(e.g. 30's or 42's strands).
