TAMA S.L.P. series snare drums are available at a surprisingly affordable prices, and in a rich lineup of models with different personalities. In the previous article, only some models were introduced, so this time we will introduce more of the lineup as a sequel! Please refer to the videos and find the perfect model for yourself!
TAMA / LBH1410L-TPM S.L.P / Duo Birch
An unusual snare drum that looks like a floor tom. A unique model with a unique 14"x10" shell, snare wires and floor tom legs. A 7mm thick birch shell with a rich midrange. It can be used not only as a snare drum, but also as a side snare or floor tom.
As shown in the video, setting it in the position of the floor tom enables a novel approach that could not have been thought of in the past. By adjusting the snare wire tension and switching the strainer on/off during the song, you can enjoy a unique sound that combines a floor tom and a snare drum.
TAMA / LGM137-STA S.L.P / G-Maple
A model that realizes a plump and powerful body noise by molding bright, clear Maple into a thick 12 ply / 10 mm body. The 7" deep body allows for a powerful and clear sound. A die-cast hoop is mounted for a clear fundamental tone and solid sound, and the greater volume which is unlikely to be found in other 13" caliber snares, combine for an attractive unified sound. The snare wires are carbon steel coil with a crisp buzzing sound. The structure catches every delicate touch in spite of the depth, and has a snappy "with suction".
TAMA / LSP146-WSS S.L.P / Fat Spruce
A model that uses spruce for the shell, which is often used for the top of acoustic guitars. Excellent overtones and vibration characteristics in the mid and treble ranges, providing a fat, warm sound with rich resonance. Equipped with a rigid die-cast hoop, it achieves a clear attack and powerful volume. An attractive point is that the eight-tension lug specifications do not prevent the shell from sounding natural.
The 6" is a slightly deeper size but the contours are clearer and softer, making it a snare drum suitable for R & B, ballads and classic rock.
TAMA / LST1455H S.L.P / Vintage Hammered Steel
A steel shell model that achieves bright, dry and rich sound realized by hammered processing. Inner bending hoop for easy tuning and solid sound. Combined with the Sound Arc Hoop, it achieves a calm sound with a strong core. The snare wires are made of high-carbon steel for crisp, delicate and rich expression. The stealth that provides a stable sound from low pitch to high pitch remains the same, but the sound is reminiscent of vintage sounds.
Models that could not be introduced this time will be featured in the next article! Look forward to it!
