Starclassic B/B Black Clouds Silver Linings Snare Drum

The Tama Starclassic Performer Birch/Bubinga EFX Snare Drum has an amazing black and silver sparkle finish orignally made for Mike Portnoy. As Mike puts it, "As soon as I told Tama the new Dream Theatre album title, Black Clouds & Silver Linings, they came to me with a finish that totally captured the imagery I had envisioned for my new touring kit."

Mike Portnoy is the acclaimed drummer of Dream Theater and various side-projects such as Liquid Tension Experiment, TransAtlantic, and O.S.I. He also has several tribute bands including Yellow Matter Custard, Hammer Of the Gods, Amazing Journey, and Cygnus & The Sea Monsters.

The Tama Starclassic Performer Birch/Bubinga EFX Series drums feature birch-bubinga shells with a sweet and fat sound that has a serious punch. At every level, these meticulously crafted drums have been designed to allow you to express who you are.

By using bubinga wood for the inner layer of snare drum's the birch shell, Tama has created another chapter in the Starclassic series. The hybrid tone exhibits the punchy attack and controlled overtones of birch paired with the enhanced lows of bubinga.
