That's why I play a Clevelander. It sounds as great in the pit playing shows as it does on stage with the full orchestra. It has been a privilege to have had the opportunity to spend so much time with your drums. Congratulations on great instruments. The combination snares make it possible to obtain a very crisp fortissimo while maintaining superior soft snare performance.
Rolls sound even and smooth.
The snare throw off mechanism works beautifully. The triple snares and calf head make it an orchestral drum that has an incredible range. It plays soft very easily but can also dominate when necessary. This drum is the sort of instrument that could last centuries instead of decades. Of all the collectible snare drums I have, this instrument stands out as heirloom quality.
