Awesome Snare for Rock and Metal!

TAMA's Sound Lab Project Black Brass snare drum gives you the deep, loud, and wonderfully warm sound of brass for a great low price. Built for serious regular use, TAMA outfitted the Black Brass snare with relatively thick, 1.5mm brass shell and a 2.3mm flanged Steel Mighty Hoop. These give you a wide open sound that cuts clearly through even extremely dense mixes. What's more, TAMA gave the Black Brass snare a 42-strand carbon-steel Snappy Snare, providing you with the buzz and snarl that's perfect for aggressive rock. Get your Tama Black Brass and other SLP Series snares at Sweetwater!

Amazing drum

Just used this to record my band's fourth album and it rocked! Had it side by side with a black beauty and this Tama SLP won! It's a heavy drum with great crack and tone. I was hesitant to spend $ on this drum knowing I had access to the Ludwig and a bunch of other snares for this recording, but I couldn't be happier with the sound - and now I have this in my collection. Highly recommend!

Amazing Snare!

This snare is amazing. super loud but well balanced. Snare response is out of this world. I've had mine for many years now and wouldn't ever want anything else on my kit
