TAMA’s SLP Studio Maple snare drum is one of the best-balanced affordable snare drums around. Part of TAMA’s Sound Lab Project (SLP), the SLP Studio Maple snare drum was designed to give hard-working drummers, such as you, a great all-around maple snare drum at a price anyone can afford. A 5.5″ maple shell gives you the loud, proud, and naturally bright sound only maple can deliver. Thanks to TAMA’s urethane-coated all-maple hoops, your SLP Studio Maple snare drum also has an open and highly resonant warm tone that easily projects through any mix. And with TAMA’s Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snappy Snares, the Studio Maple snare drum lets you play with a full range of dynamics. What’s more, this limited-edition TAMA Studio Maple snare drum boasts an eye-grabbing hand-applied lacquered finish and matte black maple hoops.
