Editorial Review
Few drummers today are both as outrageous and as dedicated to the art of drumming as Chad Smith. His signature sound is consistently one of the best, overall rock drum sounds today. Chad's Signature Series Snare Drum reflects his outrageousness, his dedication to perfection, and offers an awesome rock snare sound. This drum is one of the most sensitive snare drums Pearl offers. Its sound is very bright and articulate with great body; a very smooth frequency response and a wide tuning range. Pearl's Chad Smith Signature Snare Drum looks as good as it sounds offering an exclusive 14"x5" black nickel plated steel shell, the CL-55 "Bridge Style" minimum contact lugs, 2.3mm SuperHoop II's, Pearl's "Gladstone Style" Vertical Pull Throw-Off, and precision-fit Stainless Steel tension rods and solid brass receives for super precise tuning.

Very Overrated

2007-10-13
I bought this snare drum brand new as soon as it came out about 7-8 years ago. I had sold it within weeks. Poor projection despite its shell material along with a fairly flat and lifeless tone. (And that piercing overring is NOT tone). A very limited tuning range.As it is not a true piccolo, it's hard to get that crack that one associates with a shallower drum; but due to the combination of shell material and the shallower depth of shell one finds it hard to get a fatback style tone either. All I can say is try before you buy. I'm sure this drum will suit someone else perfectly. Just wasn't for me.

Chad Smith Snare sounds great!

Still have to do some fine tuning - but it sounds as good as it looks - awesome!

well worth it

this snare id recomend for hard rock performers and possibly if you know what your doing it can be good for metal too. what gives difference between this snare and my birch shell snare is that the shell is completly made of nickle giving it a much different type of pop sound to it, but what i notice most when playing it is it does not sound like one hit, but several all at ounce. playing this snare is also comfortable becouse ive never had it open on me no matter how hard i hit.

now im not much for looks but this snare looks as good as it sounds. its tinted like a mirror black, i guess is best to describe it and can injure alot . ive had symbols stands tip over into the snare and ive even dropt it ounce or twice and it still sounds great and didnt have a scratch on it from what i could find however there arnt to many other nickle or steel sheld snares that ive played so though it sounds great to me please look into a few others before listening to me.

Awesome

This snare drum is simply put an excellent snare drum. I've played on it several times and will be purchasing one soon. It has incredible cutting power, going through any cymbal resonance one could produce. Coupled with a deeper tone due to it's shell height. The cutting power of a piccolo snare that so many of us drummers need, with the tone that so many of us metal guys want.I can't wait to get the cash for this one.
