Titan-sized snares like the Tama S.L.P. Big Black Steel snare drum have been enormously popular with drummers here at Sweetwater, especially if they're into heavier styles of music such as hard rock, metal, and punk. Although tremendously rich and fat due to its massive size, this snare's steel shell also imparts some brightness, giving you long sustain and a heavy-fisted, penetrating character that will easily cut through whatever sonic cacophony you might be rocking to. Whether you're playing clubs, concerts, or recording, the Tama S.L.P. Big Black Steel snare drum will give you a deep, brutal, bucket tone and sizzling overtones with every powerful, devastating hit.
