A Real Blast from the Past!
One of TAMA’s most beloved snare drums, the Mastercraft Steel snare drum hit the scene in the 1980s and rocketed into the hearts of drummers everywhere due to its explosive sound that became one of the most defining snare sounds of its era. Sweetwater drummers who remember the inaugural drum claim that this 50th Limited Mastercraft Steel snare drum looks and sounds just as good as — if not better than — the original!

Attack, sensitivity, punch, and control — the TAMA 50th Limited Mastercraft Steel truly has everything you could ever want in a snare drum.
