Sound Lab Project The snare drum is the keystone of any drummer's sound. At some points 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. series. Tama's extensive research and development process led to a varied offering of S.L.P. shell materials. Thickness and the specific parts were experimented with to find each shell material's full sonic potential.
By using a relatively thicker 1.5mm Brass shell, the Black Brass model provides a fat powerful sound combined with warm resonance. This sound is a natural characteristic of Brass. A 2.3mm flanged hoop adds to the open sound, and a 42-strand Snappy Snare exhibits a distinct and desirable buzz.
