Fans of the Mastercraft Artwood Snare Drum released in 1980 have been waiting for its reissue. This snare drum is known for its naturally stunning appearance and is adorned with a beautifully colored middle wood inlay featuring multiple sections. The 9mm/6-ply all-birch shell provides significant projection with a low midrange and clear sound. For a detailed and sensitive snare response, the drum is equipped with TAMA's unique roller-action snare, an innovative full-contact wire design that uses a single ON/OFF lever and double guides for easy and versatile adjustment. TAMA's original Artwood Mastercraft Snare Drum is a breathtakingly beautiful tribute to TAMA's 50th anniversary.
