Tama S.L.P. Big Black Steel Snare Drum - 8 Inches X 14 Inches Limited Edition

Was a little hesitant about making this purchase but I was very pleased how fully rounded the sound is. Especially, coming off of a piccolo that was tight and compressed, this snare is solid and cuts through the heavy guitars and bass. Best part is it looks cool 😎Edit: I wanted to add, I used a Remo Ambassador with Puresound 30 wires and I have it tuned table tight. It's tight and responsive with such a great sound. Didn't think possible at this price range.

Sounds fantastic....the best snare i have ever owned....i will not be looking for another......

So far, so good. Great product for the price I paid.

This snare has depth, crack, wide tuning range and looks awesome. And the transaction was painless

Now this is an incredible snare drum. If you are looking for a different sound(s), then by all means give this a try..Extremely distinct.

I think this drum sounds great but after trying multiple heads I believe the top hoop is warped because no head will set correctly

This is a beautiful snare drum with good features at a more reasonable price than most that compare. Tried 1-ply and 2-ply coated Evans heads and the "Mighty Hoops" won't take the strain of trying to crank it beyond a certain medium-low tuning. But a very pleasant surprise is no steel snare drum ring. Sounds really good in it's range but not at all versatile imho.

Incredible! Honestly is the best snare I've ever heard. Especially amazing for the price!
