PDP piccolo snare drum with sharp attack
If you want a piccolo snare drum that speaks up immediately, the PDP The Kraken is a strong fit. This 13x3.5 snare pairs a compact size with a 1 mm rolled chrome-over-steel shell, resulting in a razor-sharp, cutting attack and a clear crack that pushes through a dense mix with ease.
That makes this PDP snare drum work well as a main snare, but also as a side snare when you want extra punch and speed in your setup. Its description clearly points to styles such as EDM, metal, punk, and hard sample-based applications.
Construction and tuning of The Kraken
The 1.5 mm triple-flange hoops give rimshots a tight, accurate response. The compact throw-off lets you switch quickly, while the DW True-Pitch tension rods help you dial in the tuning with precision.
A Remo drumhead is included, so you can start shaping your sound right away. The silver finish matches the bold, forceful character of this PDP piccolo snare. If you need help with setup or tuning, Magna Music can also offer practical advice from drummers in the shop.
