TAMA S.L.P. G-Hickory Snare Drum

This limited edition 14" x 4.5" G-Hickory snare drum features an 11mm, 12-ply hickory shell with a beautiful elm outer ply. Usually reserved for drumsticks, hickory provides a bright and crisp tone. The thick shell paired with a shorter than usual 4.5" depth results in a powerful yet sensitive snare drum while the die-cast hoop offers punchy attack alongside the crisp buzz from carbon steel snare wires. This combination achieves an excellent balance between volume and sensitivity. While versatile like a maple shell, hickory's dry characteristics make it an ideal auxiliary snare drum and its wide tuning range makes it suitable for any genre.
