6-ply maple and 6-ply bubinga hybrid shell
Maple contributes a crisp attack while bubinga brings deep, resonant low end.

Independent shopping perspective
Kaz Rodriguez’s signature TAMA snare combines a 14 x 6.5-inch format with a 10mm hybrid shell of six maple plies and six bubinga plies. The construction is described as pairing crisp, articulate attack with deep, resonant low end, while the 6.5-inch depth adds warm sustain and body. Triple-flanged hoops, high-tension lugs, steel wires and a professional-grade throw-off complete the working hardware. Matte metallic gold gives this limited-quantity model a defined on-kit appearance.
