Offering an open, fat and furious sound, the SLP Limited Edition 14″ x 8″ Steel Snare Drum from Tama provides you with a vintage, attacking sound, that really does match up to its title!

Developed to offer an identifiable snare drum that could be pigeon holed into a specific genre or style preference, the SLP Limited Edition 14″ x 8″ Steel Snare Drum gives you punch and precision, boasting traditional and vintage undertones.

Features include a snare throw-off, a non-adjustable butt-end, ‘hold-tight’ tension rod washers and the superbly responsive Evans single-ply batters and snare heads. Its retro-style brass tube lugs and newly designed triple-flanged ‘Sound Arc’ steel hoops were specially designed for the SLP series and showcase a small, inward-facing top flange, enhancing the natural tone, yet offering a clearer tone and more responsive playability.

A tight tension is offered within this snare which requires only the slightest of tweaks to manipulate its pitch, making tuning an absolute breeze!

The Tama Limited Edition SLP 14″ x 8″ Steel Snare delivers an uncompromising and punchy crack, commanding listening ears to shut up and take notice of your chops!

Its fat and furious sound will leave audiences breathless, while its classic vintage undertones leave a reassuring after-taste, a sentiment worthy of its title. This versatile snare drum, provides a perfect accompaniment for your chilled out, more mellow grooves, providing you with all the subtlety and dynamic that you require, showcasing its amazing ability to articulate ghost notes and sensitivity.

Drums is the main JustDrums category for core acoustic and electronic instruments, including kits, shell packs, snare drums, bass drums, toms and electronic drum kits. Compare the complete configuration, sizes, shell or pad construction, heads, hardware, module, triggers and connections according to the product type. A shell pack may need cymbals, stands, pedals and a throne, while an electronic kit may need a monitor or headphones. Use the specific child category and product specification to confirm what is included before comparing prices or sound.

Snare Drums

Snare drums provide the sharp backbeat and articulate ghost-note response at the centre of many drum kits. Compare diameter and depth, shell material, hoops, heads, snare wires, strainer, throw-off, butt plate and tuning range. Metal, wood and hybrid shells can produce different combinations of attack, body, sensitivity and projection, while depth affects the balance between response and weight. Check whether the listing includes a case, stand or replacement parts. The best choice depends on the drummer’s tuning, touch, music and the rest of the kit.
