Aluminum has the classic sound a metal drum has, which stands out a little extra in the drum set & gives you a clear & accented snare drum but with more control, a fantastic crisp beat response & a volume that is fantastically pleasant. The harmonics you want are there but are much more controlled than in a snare drum in e.g. steel. With this you can play out without the snare drum completely taking over & you avoid angry comments from the audience & organizers...
Atomizer is so open & brittle in sound that it is perfect for playing with beaters. This model from Mapex has a 2mm thick frame, Sonic Saver rims & of course SONIClear Bearing Edge. The fact that the whole thing is then topped off with what we think is the market's prettiest tuning chamber, a fantastically smooth winch mechanism & a sickeningly nice, natural aluminum finish doesn't make matters any worse.
