A steel snare that offers a hammered appearance and a more complex tone.
Tama's SLP Vintage Hammered Steel snare features a 1.2mm hammered steel shell that adds tonal complexity, depth and dryness to the typical bright and penetrating sound of Tama's steel shell. The more complex tones are generated from the way sound waves asymmetrically reflect off the hammered shell texture.
However, the innovations don't stop at the tone and appearance. Tama's work on identifying the ideal snare sound led them to develop the new hardware like the "Sound Arc" Hoops which add sustain and a fuller frequency response. Hearty brass tube lugs will ensure a long lifespan for your tension rods, as well as your tune. And finally, the Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Steel Snappy snares will emphasize needed punch and attack, as needed.
