Check out this new Signature snare from Ludwig, it is a 4 x 14 "Venus"
signature green brass snare drum with brass die-cast rims.
It is described as "Power piccolo" and retails for about $357.00.

Now that's a beauty for sure. How does it sound?

I have yet to see one of these in person, I am not sure how new they are,
hopefully my local shops will carry one so I can try it out.

Here is a nice Youtube video of Carl playing the snare!

Cool! Piccolo snare drums can be a little tricky.
I have a 3X13 and I have to tune it down a bit
more than my larger drums or that high pitched
crack will tear your ears off. Though I rarely use
the one I have now (need to start using it more),
I find it and interesting instrument to play.
