I like them mostly in introductions and maestosos in addition to a regular snare drum. Excellent for patriotic references. Contest judges don't usually notice :'( but we love it. Wouldn't recommend it for extended soft massages, they really shine when the sound needs to be beefy. Ruffles Call from Afar by Yo Goto, snare concerto Personal faves, Pathfinder of Panama and Black Horse Troop. I listen to military bands to help me decide when to use them.
