The build quality of this drum is excellent.
But I've been dealing with too many overtones from it since I got it.
Tuning it to get the sound I wanted was difficult, possibly due to the "Starphonic" hoops, which I didn't really like.
I prefer the sound of a less expensive Tama Starclassic Performer Maple/Birch snare that matches my drum kit.
On my current snare, a factory-installed Evans G1 head sounds great. But with the Starphonic, I had to dampen it to reduce the overtones.
