Vintage look and sound of the early aluminium snares
A Crisp Aluminium Snare With Short, Dry Sustain — the Vintage Look and Sound of the Early Aluminium Snares.
Crisp, with short, dry sustain
The seamless 1.2mm aluminium shell and 8-lug Steel Mighty Hoops give a crisp sound with short, dry sustain, so the snare sits tightly in the mix without long ring.
Seamless aluminium with a centre bead
The 1.2mm seamless aluminium shell has a centre bead. Its vintage look and sound are reminiscent of the early years of popular aluminium snare drums.
Steel Mighty Hoops, 8-lug
Tama's triple flanged 2.3mm Steel Mighty Hoops give a "wetter", more open sound than die-cast zinc hoops. With 8 tension rods per side, tuning is quick and simple.
Hi-Tension lugs
Chrome MCHL5S Hi-Tension lugs hold the hoops, paired with the MLS30 strainer and butt end.
Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon snare wires
Redesigned with new materials, a custom end plate shape and a new coil winding pattern, Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon snare wires fit more closely to the snare-side head for greater sensitivity and a brighter, crisper sound.
