"Beyond the quality is D'Addario's persistence to evolve. I love that they do this while maintaining their 'Made in the USA' status."
"I've always felt that the best thing about the MX5 Snare drumhead is that it doesn't get in the way of the top head. It does its job interfacing with the snare guts and allows you to dial in your sound without contamination."
