It's the anytime, anywhere snare!

The RhythmTech Lap Top Practice Snare Drum is perfect for unplugged performances, low-volume practice, acoustic rehearsals, and impromptu jams.

Use the adjustable snare mechanism to loosen or increase tension for a range of response. The Lap Top snare captures all the tonal nuances of a standard snare drum when you use brushes and is an excellent practice device to refine your brush technique. The brush sound is so realistic that the Lap Top has actually been used as a secret weapon in studio sessions.

Pull this out at a swing jam in your friend's living room, start the brushes, and everybody will freak. It's the coolest accessory for the rhythm player, completely portable. Excellent construction and even the bag is very well made. Whoever thought of this should never have to buy another beer, ever.

I can't believe that more drummers don't know about this snare. It seems like a big secret. When I tell other drummers that I got it, and it works, almost none of them have heard of it.

This little snare has a lot of volume. It's not as loud as a full body snare, but it is close. The problem is that the snares rattle horribly. Even when you tighten it all the way, it's still going to rattle on you. A little tape over the snares goes a long way to eliminate the rattle, and after that, it's a great sounding drum.

This is perfect for the on-the-go drummer, beginning drummer, or really any drummer. I got mine new on an eBay auction, and there it included a "DrumCircle" RhythmTech brand muffling ring with rudiments printed on it. That was very cool. It fits easily on a snare stand and has virtually no sympathy vibration. I love this thing!

Great Portable Snare

I purchased this product to use for practice on the snare rudiments. I found the unit very well put together. It has a great tone and very good volume. The response is tight (the snares can be adjusted to suit your taste). The unit is put together solid and has a quality carry case that comes with it. I like it even as a second to my larger snare (been considering a picolo snare to add to my kit). This unit has worked well for that purpose. And, it does fit well on a snare stand since it is full size with a real drum head and rim assembly.

There are only two slight issues I have with the unit: The 2 screws holding the snare fixture to the bottom of the unit don't allow it to sit flat on a smooth, flat surface. But, 4 rubber feet properly placed takes care of that.

Next, it is as loud as my regular snare (or a bit more so). The product description says can be used for quiet practice. Not a chance of that, however; for it is loud. If you want quiet, go to gum or similar. Otherwise, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

Rhythm Tech Lap Snare is Grrrreat

The lap top snare is wonderful. I go camping a lot with my family band and I was always looking for some way to join in with the music we would play around the camp fire and this little snare works perfectly. I have found that it gets a softer, richer tone when played with brushes. I love this thing.
