All user reviews for the Pearl JJ1365 Joey Jordison Snare Signature

-How long have you use it?
1 week

-What is so special that you like most and least?
The +: the big sound it sends strong and clear (13 * 6.5 steel requires), harmonics (without overflow), ease of adjustment, versatility of style (ééhhh so you will not have to play hard metal snare drum with this!), price (350 euros)
the -: it is so beautiful we really do not want to damage it and therefore it requires us to invest in a case to carry it

-Have you tried many other models before buying it?
oh yeah about a dozen, just for the sound I wanted!
Moreover, as such I will say in passing many many Mapex Black Panther series and Pearl Ultracast series that sound great for the sound I'm looking for in a snare: a precise sound, dry and slamming with the volume ! Ultracast only concern of the price between 550 and 600 euros depending on bargaining with the vendor ... and black panther same price as the joey jordison but less aesthetic style ...

-How do you price / quality ratio?
When my great great price (what we have as good snare drum to less than 300 euros?) price equivalent to signing Chad Smith and Ian Paice therefore not excessive in my opinion it is worth its price.

-With experience, you do again this choice? ...
ben difficult to answer this question because when you invest EUR 350 in a snare is of course to try to keep it long, and then if I change the drumkit in several years, I'll buy a bin delivered without snare So ... but still trying to answer the question well I think I will not repeat that choice, why? just parcque even if the sound is frankly a pure killing, well I will have the curiosity to try something else .. .

...

I own this snare for 2 days.

+: This snare is as beautiful as its Armoni and powerful sound, it is for the metal (I do not know her as music). It's a monster Mustun it has no flaw.
-: It is so beautiful that I can buy a cover for fear of damaging.
I have no other model aissay avantcelle but all the models that I could only entendrec'est me vraimant labeled.

The RAPORT calitprix is ​​EXCELLENT because it is the second signature snare the least expensive (at Pearl) 340 (new) it gives better than its competitors who start it from 500.

This is a unique experience I would do without hesitation the same choice (if I have to change it).

I sow the past week
+ she slams the tro bien 13/6.5 c'es his normal hits hard and fast and exceeds the wall guitar over it are polyvalente.je tried the ale and skin sagging skin tightened.
on it are so beautiful that a recess fo carrying case and n not like fingerprints.
j had tried the chad smith bof koi m, the m tro mmx expensive.
at value for money unbeatable c 340 euro for a head of c gives out and is no longer es pa q a signature snare drum is really a tool for reliable quality and more are in the Jait really adds a touch aggressive a kitt our drumkit.
I think that with the experience so I buy the Orai.

She is beautiful and trs is his little weight!
Trs good sound but a bit too rsonance for me, so a little more muted li will be good.
What power!
Shame on the stamp is not great, do not esprer play with the harmony of the village (although it goes well RULES) but hey she is doing well when even trs.
At that price should not go without!

APRS a little while of use I change my mind:
I changed the skin, an Evans HD Dry.
I play mainly black metal and drum'n'bass (yes it is logical but not specially good), the sound is really good. Trs is stretched to the black and the sound is niquel, prcis and powerful.
I even when addition of atnuateurs Emad.

I use it for 18 months in secondary ccl in a group of dub and principal in a HxC.
I tried to get a fairly high-pitched sound, very slamming, with good power and a good presence to "turn the volume" on the passages that need it.
For this role there, I tried before:
- A 12x8 "Phatt (8 ply maple keller)
- A 12x7 "Mapex (birch, from a Pro M tom reduced)
- A 14x5 metal Basix

The hardware inspires confidence, even if the patch appears to be basic to basic. I did not know the triggers Pearl, it is simple but effective. The finish is pretty class, matte black is the most beautiful effect. Good logos Slipkon ... This is more my cup of tea, but unlike what I've read is not placed stickers by kids age 5. It's clean and well finished. Small flat, the circles are brighter than was. But the powder coating seems solid.

I tried with two settings, medium tense and very, very tense, Ambassador coated ambassador snare +.
In two cases it slams right, the tone is present.
Not too tight, it deserves a thicker skin to calm down its harmonics.
Tense (my adjustment position), it slams severe, it is powerful, VERY powerful. A little too much of the rest. Otherwise, it is clear enough singing. To play reggae that makes him a serious (if so). To play the Metal / HxC too. In fact, no matter, I adopt it. I do not like logos, but it slams, so if the sound is I still

NB: I played with a groove for a wedge cross stick deeper and more "wood" (warmer, more defined). Difficult to do without now that I've tasted.

With experience, I would do probably this choice, although I could try the other two boxes that I liked for this role:
- 13x5 Omar Halim
- 13x4 (or 12x4 to see) Tama Metalworks


I told my 8 because it lacks a bit of subtlety and his look is a bit Marquette (well not say the best taste).

The Pearl Joey Jordison JJ-1355 Features:

- 13" x 6-1/2" 1mm steel shell
- Black Super Hoops
- Masters double-ended lugs

I was offered this snare in a trade for a vintage Zildjian Avedis 19" Ride, and I'm glad I took the offer! I was very much hesitant about it being a Slipknot snare, since I don't really want to be associated with Slipknot, or being a "maggot" as they call their fans. Don't get me wrong, I like a few of their songs, but people seem to look down on their die-hard fans, and most of the people that seem to buy this snare, are die-hard fans. Well, I took the plunge, and this really is a great sounding snare (I just wish it didn't have the giant Slipknot S's on it)!

This snare really excels at a higher tuning and sounds like a timbale without the snare wires engaged. With the snares on, this snare really packs a punch! I've tried steel snares before, and they just haven't done it for me. While they sound okay, there's just a certain quality to them that makes them sound cheap to me, this snare doesn't sound cheap at all!

With a drum dial, I tune this snare to 80 on the bottom, 90 on the top with the original head on the bottom and a Remo Ambassador on the top. The tone is punchy with a huge, quick attack. This snare is a bit ringy, but not in the sense that I've used on other snare drums, where it's annoying, the ring on this snare is highly desirable, especially when hitting close to the rim of the head, and on rimshots. This snare is LOUD and will slice through a mix with ease.

Clearly, it was made for heavier music with an artist like Joey Jordison of Slipknot endorsing it, but it is much more versatile than I've heard it given credit. Tuned low or medium, this snare can get a nice full sound to it. My only complaint is that, while it is very cutting, I find it still lacks a certain "woody" feel that I'm used to with my maple 14x5" snare, and seems to lack a lot of bottom end (at least when tuned high), so mostly only extreme highs cut through, which makes the snare sound a bit one-dimensional.

Either way, I would recommend this to a drummer who's playing heavier music and uses double bass. The 13" size of the drum allows you to more easily play double bass, as your legs aren't riding right up against the snare. The extra inch really does make a difference! I wish this snare had a bit more body to it, but it's one of the few snares that has that awesome ring to it that I've played. I recently sold this snare to try out a similar sized maple snare (Mapex Black Panther), and am waiting on it to get here. Hopefully it fixes my complaints about the Joey Jordison snare!

For the price you can pick these up on the used market for, they're hard to beat! Tuned high, this is an EXCELLENT snare for anything that uses blast beats, or requires a powerful pinginess!

For how long have you been using it?
About a month

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Yes I just had a BASIX 13X5 Birch, and before buying I test Ian Paice and Pearl 13x3 Brass Piccolo (not like!).

What thing do you like most/least about it?
The pros: price, slamming her, and still SOME versatile, the black hardware, power, ...
The -:?

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
EXCELLENT!
I really love the sound it is in, with an Aquarian Hi-Energy, the sound is great, she still retains the shade, very well for the blasts and all that for 240 €!

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Yes! (After he may need to see in a year ... but now I louse think she is great!)





& %&%&%&% Superb!

(Originally written by Benou1977/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
I've owned it for about two months. I bought it secondhand with an Evans Genera 2 top head and a Remo Ambassador bottom head.

I find the sound of this snare a bit high pitched (I tighten it a lot) and with a strong attack but I wish it would be fuller and warmer (although it has a metal shell).

When the top head is a bit looser I don't like the sound because it's similar to the one of my Sonor Force 3005 which is a moderate priced snare!

I plan to install a Remo Ambassador or Emperor X on the top considering it might enhance the sound (for my taste).

The design is nice but it's not the first thing I look at when I buy a snare.

I bought this snare because it offers a good value for money considering my budget .

If I had to choose again, I think I would buy a Black Panther 14 x 6.5 with wood shell.

Nevertheless I'm not disappointed by this snare. It's a nice snare and maybe I haven't explored all its possibilities.

Summary: good snare.
