Been drummin for 10 years, and I found this skin to be my favorite so far. I play a 6.5 x 14 pearl free floater snare, and this head brings out the full, beautiful tonal quallity of the rich, deep maple. It prevents any overtones with its thin power dot and muffle-ring. If you want to bring out the sound of your snare, this head is your best bet (for those of you with the standard fear of overtones, please consider this skin although it is only a single-ply clear.. It does the job perfectly).

One of many of the heads I used on my troublesome maple snare. This head got rid of most of the echo of the drum, but didn't completely muffle it, which lets you use it for many different styles with an extra studio ring. Overall great head for maple drums.
