Tama ‘S.L.P.’ Power Maple 6-1/2”x14” Snare Drum

This combination of a 6.5" depth Maple shell and the extra-wide 42-strand TAMA Snappy Snares gives this drum a powerful, open and resonant sound. A beautiful Maple Burl outer ply complemented by our Midnight finish is a perfect match with the Black Nickel hardware. This is very much a custom design snare drum but TAMA presents it at a more modest price.

Suggested musical styles: Hard Rock & Rock or any music needing a loud and fat backbeat!

TAMA’s “Sound Lab Project” Snare Drums:

The snare drum is the keystone of any drummer's sound. At some point in the musical journey, the player will embark on a search for the perfect drum to enhance their sound. With that player in mind, TAMA created the S.L.P. “Sound Lab Project” series.

TAMA’s extensive research and development process led to a varied offering of S.L.P. shell materials, thickness (and number of plies of the wood shells) and the specific parts were experimented with to find each shell material’s full sonic potential.

The Sound Lab Project comprises three different maple shell snare drums and one of bubinga. There are two steel shell snares, one of aluminum and one of brass. Each of these snare drums features its own customized and unique design and one of them could be your best snare drum and at a relatively low price for a snare drums of this quality!

TAMA’s Sound Arc Hoop snare hoops:

The Sound Arc Hoop was specially developed for the Sound Lab Project (S.L.P.) snare drums. This inward curved 2.3mm steel hoop enhances the natural tone of the snare drum, and offers sensitivity, precise tuning, and control.
