Independent shopping perspective
TAMA’s S.L.P. Studio Maple is a 14 x 6.5-inch snare built around a 6-ply, 5 mm shell made entirely from maple. The shell is voiced around the warmth and depth associated here with maple, and it is finished with a urethane coating. Matching maple wood hoops keep the all-maple construction consistent, while Starclassic lugs and 20-strand Super Sensitive high-carbon steel snares complete the drum’s hardware and snare-wire setup.
