Tama AW456 50th 6.5 x 14" Limited Mastercraft Artwood Snare Drum, Natural with Wood Inlay

Celebrate 50 years of TAMA history with the 1980 Mastercraft Artwood snare AW-456 reissue. The eagerly anticipated release puts a stunning exclamation point on TAMA's 50th Anniversary celebration. Admired for its striking appearance, this snare drum boasts a beautifully stained multi-section center wood inlay that adds an artistic touch. Crafted with a 9mm/6ply all-birch shell that delivers rich low-mid tones with exceptional projection. It features TAMA's signature Roller Action Strainer for precise, sensitive snare response, offering easy and versatile adjustment with its single on/off lever and dual guide rollers. Faithfully reproducing the original design, this anniversary edition includes 10-hole Die-Cast Hoops for clear attack and tuning consistency, along with a reproduction of the original snare side hoop with a larger snare wire window. The innovative One-Touch tone control system, initially developed for Mastercraft snare drums, provides subtle muffling adjustments with a single on/off switch, reflecting TAMA's commitment to timelessly elegant design. Even the choice of drumheads, including a REMO® Coated Ambassador on the batter side and a REMO® Ambassador Snare Side on the bottom, reflects TAMA's attention to quality and detail.
