The TAMA ‘Metalworks’ line of five different Steel Shell, Low-Priced Snare Drums fills every need and for under $150.00 !! Get yours from Sam Ash Direct for the lowest price with fast, Free Shipping!

The Metalworks 5-1/2”x12” “power piccolo” version gives you a higher tuning range than a standard size snare, for the brighter, cutting snare sounds but maintains a fatter and full-bodied sound due to its depth. For some kinds of music, particularly funk, rap and hip hop, this size can be your full-time snare drum.

The Metalworks 5-1/2”x12” snare drum can also be an excellent alternate snare sound and back-up snare drum for a very low price!

TAMA Metalworks !

Slightly thicker than typical steel shell snares , the 1.2mm steel shells allow the Metalworks snare drums to perform at their maximum potential. A black nickel finish creates a unique, industrial look that's the perfect visual match for the sound of steel and will look good with a drum set of any finish.

Five different sizes provide choices for a wide range of applications. They range from the large, rock and big band-style 6-1/2”x14”, the most versatile 5”x14”, two different piccolo snare sizes in the 4”x14” and 5-1/2”x12”, and the little “popcorn snare” 5-1/2”x10” that comes with the Tama MC69 single drum attachment that you can use to hang the 10” snare from another stand as a specialty or effect snare drum.

All of the snare drums feature strong, triple-flanged hoops, a precise and dependable snare throw-off and low-mass dual lugs (8 lugs for the three 14” diameter snares, 6 lugs for the 12” and 10” snares). The 6-1/2” x14”, 5”x14” and the 5-1/2”x12” snare drums also feature a “beaded” shell design with a raised bead that runs around the center of the shell. This design feature, found on a number of very successful and classic metal shell snares, gives the shell additional strength and guarantees its perfect roundness while also fine-tuning the drums resonance.

The TAMA Metalworks line gives drummers on a budget, a low-priced but high quality snare drum for any kind of music and are inexpensive enough to add as an alternative snare sound to what you are already playing, to expand your arsenal without needing to spend a lot of money.

Get your TAMA Metalworks Snare Drum from Sam Ash Direct today, with fast, free shipping at the guaranteed lowest price. Sam Ash Direct gives you the security of more than 87 years of experience, 24/7 customer support and the Sam Ash Direct 45/60 day return / price protection policy. You cannot go wrong!
