Weaponized Snare

Titan-sized snares like the Tama SLP Big Black Steel snare drum have been enormously popular with drummers here at Sweetwater, especially if they're into heavier styles of music such as hard rock, metal, and punk. Although tremendously rich and fat due to its massive size, this snare's steel shell also imparts brightness, giving you long sustain and a heavy-fisted, penetrating character that will easily cut through whatever sonic cacophony you might be rocking to. Whether you're playing clubs, concerts, or recording, the Tama SLP Big Black Steel snare drum will give you a deep, brutal tone and sizzling overtones with every powerful, devastating hit.

Tama's Sound Lab Project Series provides quality snares for less

The Tama SLP Big Black Steel snare drum is part of Tama's SLP series of snare drums, created to give you access to a wide range of distinctive snare sounds at a great price. Just like every SLP-series snare, this drum's components were chosen specifically to give it a characteristic sound. No matter what kind of music you play, we're sure you'll find the perfect Tama Sound Lab Project snare at Sweetwater.

Put decades of Tama know-how to work for you

With over 40 years of experience, Tama knows what drummers really want. Which is why, no matter how long you've been playing the drums, no matter what budget you have to work with, Tama has the drums and hardware you need, want, and can afford.
