So since I bought my TAMA Snare drum for my Electric kit about a year ago - i've always had a mesh head on it for 80% volume reduction so I can play at home.
Today I decided to take it to my Dads' house as he has converted barns for meetings etc. It's where I played my acoustic drums growing up at home...
Anyway - I put the proper Tama Batter head on before I got picked up and I took one E-Bass Pad. My low volume hi-hats and a low volume 16" crash
Just so I could get a "set" feel.
Anyway.
My snare has SUCH a crack to it. I bought it as obviously I love the snare sound on Metallica, Load and Reload and Lars used a Tama
Bell Brass Snare I think... So I bought a Steel Tama Snare and the tone is AMAZING for £100..!! Cannot complain. It's got such a THWACK.
I love Tama Drums. My White Rockstar kit was built like a Tank.
