Limited edition 6.5"x14" Mastercraft steel snare drum celebrating Tama's 50th Anniversary, offering a classic, powerful sound.
A Legend Reborn. Iconic ‘80s Tone, Limited Edition Legacy.
Celebrating 50 years of Tama innovation, the 8056 Mastercraft Steel Snare Drum brings back one of the most sought-after snare sounds of the 1980s—reborn for today’s drummer with stunning vintage accuracy. Originally made famous by legendary players like Simon Phillips, the Mastercraft 8056 was known for its crisp sensitivity, controlled overtones, and that unmistakable steel-shell cut and clarity.
This 50th Anniversary reissue stays true to the original formula: a 1.2mm chrome-plated steel shell, 10-lug Superstar-style die-cast hoops, and the distinctive “Roller Action” strainer system with extended snare wires for a smooth and ultra-responsive feel. Its 14×6.5″ dimensions give it a broad tuning range—from tight and cracky to deep and full.
Each drum is finished with limited-edition badging and vintage Tama branding, making this not just a powerful performance snare, but a collector’s piece that pays homage to Tama’s golden era.
