Tama 50TH LIMITED MASTERCRAFT '' THE BELL BRASS '' SNARE DRUM 14''x6.5 ''

The specialist's opinion

In 1980, the Mastercraft Bell Brass snare drum was born.

Designed to match the explosive tones of a new musical decade, the Bell Brass drum delivers the purest snare tone ever.

With the original sand cast in the same way as the premium cymbals and, of course, the bells, the drum started out as a 12mm cast that was hand turned up to 3mm thick . Burnished with a natural brass patina for a sound that gets smoother, warmer and richer over the years, it's no wonder the Mastercraft Bell Brass snare has become the most coveted snare drum of the past 50 years . Widely used in heavy rock music of the 80s and 90s, TAMA's Bell Brass snare has become known simply as "THE TERMINATOR". As aggressive as it sounded, its versatility was unmatched when it found itself in the hands of the world's best jazz and fusion drummers of the day. Faithfully reproduced to the original specifications as much as modern technology allows, the Mastercraft '' The Bell Brass '' 50th Anniversary Reissue snare once again brings the iconic and timeless sound to drummers.
