Medyo iba yung ring nya compared sa ibang metal snares such as aluminum, brass...etc. high pitched yung ring na wala masyadong kulay o low end. Wala yung wood (dry) sound characteristic. This is not, by any means, something negative. depende din sa preference yan. Suitable sa rock music.
Pros - bright; solid "pop"; lively / loud; most affordable type of snare drum
Cons - not as versatile as its other metal shell counterparts: brass, aluminum; bronze; Wala masyadong character
kung medyo mataas budget mo, go for a cast steel snare - Heavy as hell hehe not sure kung anong brand pa meron aside from ocheltree: phantom (around $1700 - hindi typo yan hehe) o carbon steel snare drum (around $500). Yung phantom yung gamit ni steve smith history of the us beat DVD
