Very special piece of gear.įor those of you in the market for such a drum, these Oriollo should be on top of your short list. Just looking at the drum you can feel the of labor of love that have gone into it. I'd imagine they look the same decades down the line as they do now. Strong yet not too heavy, letting the shell resonate and because it's made of solid piece of stainless steel, no plating, never have to worry about them pitting. Seems to have slight dampening effect without killing the tone. End result is something extremely ridged, strong, yet because it's made of the same material as the shell, sings with the shell in unison without any harsh or unwanted overtones.

With no channels or grooves cut underneath like other hoops, it's a big, thick, heavy block of bell bronze. These bell bronze hoops are one of the beefiest on the market. It's a sound engineer's dream I'd imagine. doing rolls on this snare, way it fills the room, interacts with it, it's quite remarkable. It's a deep drum yet still sensitive enough to pick up every ghost notes. Sound is warm, fat, bursting with beautiful tone, with rimshot that will take your head off, yet without ever sounding harsh. I've been fortunate to have played every famous bell bronze snare under the sun yet this Oriollo really stands out to me. “8x14 cast bell bronze snare with matching bell bronze hoops.
