I actually opened this gift a day early, but this is a gift from my husband, a 6'x9' Renaissance tabret. It's got the high pitch and sharp crack of a snare drum, but without the low end. All three snares are individually tuneable on both sides as well, giving me a wide variety of options for timbre.
Basically, it's now my favourite snare drum! I've been playing it a fair bit in the run-up to my birthday.
Expect to hear this in my playing a good bit more, especially for Tempus Imperfectum stuff.
