Sound Pure's Take

This TAMA SLP bubinga snare drum uses 12 layers of bubinga to create an incredible sounding snare. The bubinga gives this drum with a warm and rich response. The thicker shell creates a focused and tighter sound while the flanged hoops allow the drum to breathe. The perfect snare for live or recording situations. The finishing touches are a quilted bubinga outer veneer and the visually striking black nickel hardware. With the S.L.P. Bubinga snare, you're getting almost all of the upgrades of the Starclassic bubinga at a budget-friendly price.

From Tama

This 12-ply, 10mm Bubinga shell provides an extraordinarily punchy sound with a large helping of low-end. The combination of 2.3mm flanged hoops and low-mass separate lugs allow the Bubinga shell to resonate more naturally. While its suggested musical styles include pop, R&B, rock and country, the G-Bubinga is considered to be the best all-around snare in the S.L.P. series.
