The snare drum is the keystone of any drummer's sound. At some point in the musical journey, the player will embark on a search for the perfect drum to enhance their sound. With that player in mind, we created the S.L.P. series.
Tama's extensive research and development process led to a varied offering of S.L.P shell materials. Thickness and the specific parts were experimental with, to find each shell material's full sonic potential.

The Steel shell's powerful projection, plus the Sound Arc Hoops add sustain, wider tuning range and a fuller frequency response. This drum sounds great tuned low or high.
