The Joey Jordison signature snare drum is described by Pearl as a “power piccolo” and I believe that this snare drum proves their point. The snare is 13 inches in diameter and 6.5 inches deep with a 1-millimeter steel shell, so when tuned tight, the drum gives a thundering crack. The drum sounds alright tuned to lower ranges, but performs best when the top head is tuned high. The aesthetic aspects of this drum are perfect if you are a Slipknot or Joey fan. The hardware on the drum is black, and the steel shell is black as well. On the shell, in-between all the lugs is a white Slipknot Tribal “S” logo. This snare is great for playing heavy metal, and sounds best when tuned high. This drum is very loud and will be able to cut through loud amps. This snare sounds great overall and is ideal for someone looking to play metal.

I’m sure all you die hard Slipknot and Joey fans have seen this, but here’s his crib!
So as I promised, I will write up a short review on my snare drum. When my uncle purchased his Rogers kit, the kit didn’t come with a snare for whatever reason, so he went out and purchased this snare used. The chrome was cracking, so he got it for a decent price. This snare sounds really good. I am a big fan of metal snare drums to begin with (maybe because it is what I’ve grown up playing) but this is always the snare drum that I compare other snares to. It has many different ranges, and sounds good tuned high, low, or in the middle. It is what you would expect from a Ludwig snare. I have had a bit of problems with the throw-off, but it was an easy fix. Other than the chrome peeling off, this drum is in excellent condition for it’s age. This snare is a nice match for the rest of this Rogers kit, although I will likely end up getting an original Rogers snare to match sometime down the road.
P.S. Does anyone know where you can get drums re-finished/re-chromed, and in what way will it affect their value?
