Released in 1980, fans of the Mastercraft Artwood snare drum have eagerly awaited its reissue. Known for its obviously stunning looks, this snare drum is adorned with a beautifully stained multi-section center wood inlay. The 9mm/6ply all-Birch shell delivers significant low-mid tone and clear projection. For a detailed & sensitive snare response, the drum features TAMA's unique Roller Action Strainer, an innovative full-contact snare wire design that utilizes a single on/off lever & dual guide rollers for easy & versatile adjustment.
This faithful reproduction of TAMA's original Mastercraft Artwood snare drum is an amazingly beautiful celebration of TAMA's 50th Anniversary.
