Tama ‘S.L.P.’ Sonic Steel 6-1/2”x13” Snare Drum
The Tama ‘S.L.P.’ Sonic Steel 6-1/2”x13” Snare Drum delivers a wide range of sound with a solid feel. For instance, when tuned up high you get a remarkably crisp and open sound. The smaller 13” diameter with the deep 6-1/2” depth creates a snare drum that can play in higher tuning ranges without losing its fat tone.
The nickel-plated steel shell has a raised bead design around the center of the drum. This design is often found on several classic snare drums that sell for sufficiently more. The bead helps to stiffen and strengthen the shell and internally disperse sound waves. This helps give the drum a sharp, crisp response without compromising its volume or projection.
With eight dual high tension lugs and Tama Mighty Hoops, this snare is a powerhouse. The brushed Black Nickel plating makes this drum look just as beautiful as it sounds. It’s a sure fire way to spice up any old kit.

Every drummer looks for the perfect snare. One that has just the right amount of resonance, something that cuts, something with a solid crack, sensitivity and rock solid stability. Many times drummers will spend an arm, leg, and first born child on a nice snare. Now, thanks to the Tama S.L.P. line, you can get professional quality at a fraction of the price.
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. Even though each one of these drums are uniquely individual, they all possess the same breath taking playability.
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.
