The Tama SLP Vintage Hammered Steel 14" x 5.5" Snare Drum—an impeccable addition to Tama’s lineup. Boasting a striking 1.2mm steel hammered shell with steel’s characteristic bark, this snare drum goes beyond the typical brightness associated with Tama’s steel shells. The hammered surface introduces tonal complexity, depth, and dryness, creating a unique sonic character.
The irregularities on the hammered surface produce a rich tapestry of tones as sound waves bounce off, resulting in a snare sound that’s both complex and distinctive. Complementing this, the steel hoops on the SLP snare contribute additional tonality and sensitivity, enhancing the overall sonic profile. They provide more rim-shot cut and bright attack than a standard flanged hoop, along with the brass tube lugs, which provide strength without dampening the shell—and they look great! Whether you’re into rock, jazz, or any other genre, this snare guarantees to inject a unique voice into your drum sound.
Not just about sound, the Tama SLP Vintage Hammered Steel Snare Drum also boasts a stunning aesthetic. It’s a blend of craftsmanship and artistry, making it an ideal choice for drummers who appreciate both sonic innovation and visual appeal. Elevate your drumming experience with the Tama SLP Vintage Hammered Steel Snare Drum—an instrument designed to stand out in both sound and style.
The Tama SLP Vintage Hammered Steel 14" x 5.5" Snare Drum is crisp and bright, with a touch of warmth that takes it beyond “loud” music and makes it highly applicable in the studio or in genres that need less bite.
