Sound Pure's Take

For a lively snare with incredible clarity, you can't go wrong with the TAMA SLP G-Maple snare drum. It's got a meaty attack with exceptional snap, and it's very sensitive too - ghost notes come alive, and rimshots cut through every time. This 7" x 13" maple snare has a 13mm shell, one of TAMA's thickest. This gives the SLP G-Maple a fast response that's perfect for funk, pop, punk, gospel, and hip-hop styles, but will hold its own in rock and country too. Basically, you get a premium-sounding snare at a great price with the TAMA SLP G-Maple snare drum.

From Tama

The Tama S.L.P. G-Maple Snare is at the nexus of the snare drum universe. A fusion of boutique-style, select hardwoods and unique dimensions, it delivers a rich, thick tone with bright and surprising volume. With a thick 13-ply 10mm Maple shell, the generous dimensions and appearance of the drum make an immediate impression.

However, the innovations don't stop at the tone and appearance. Tama's work on identifying the ideal snare sound led them to develop the new hardware like the "Sound Arc" Hoops which add sustain, wider tuning range and a fuller frequency response. Hearty brass tube lugs will ensure a long lifespan for your tension rods, as well as your tune. And finally, the Starclassic Hi- Carbon Steel Snappy snares will emphasize needed punch and attack, as needed.
