Made in conjunction with first-call drummer John Blackwell (Justin Timberlake), This all-steel snare has an exaggerated flanged edge for an "old-school" sound.

6.5 x 13” Steel Shell With Black Nickel Finish And An Exaggerated Flanged Edge Three Air Vent Holes With Removable Plugs For Wide Changes In Feel Comes With Hi-Carbon Steel Snappy Snares “JB” Die-Cast Emblem Triple Flanged Hoops What does John say about it?“The reason I chose 6.5”x13” is because I’ve played a lot of snares over the years, from 12” to 16” in diameter and 3.5” to 8” in depth. A 6.5”x13” is right in the middle to me. It gives me a rimshot that’s out of this world, and I can get the fattest, deepest snare sound ever. The possibilities are unlimited with my signature snare drum. The reason I chose triple-flanged hoops is because for the 30 years that I’ve played drums, I’ve seen many drummers in concert, including my father John Blackwell Sr. and they all have used triple-flanged hoops. They give you that old school sound and feel for any style of music. This is Tama’s most beautiful looking and sounding snare drum... IT’S BLACK AND IT’S WELL.” - John Blackwell
