@byako21: I'd go for riff's advice about getting a deeper, bigger snare drum. A 14x5.5 would be a safe choice as a main snare drum...versatile yung configuration na yon. Yung piccolo appropriate sa low-volume applications or as an auxiliary snare drum. Ok yung tunog but in context baka matabunan.
As for the throw off, madali lang palitan yon. kailangan mo lang alamin yung hole to hole spacing ng throw-off...iba iba din kasi spacing
