Noted for its sensitivity and heavy, loud sound, the Tama Bell Brass Snare will give you everything from a high crack to a deep thud. A truly legendary drum, the Tama Bell Brass is reputedly one of the most recorded snares ever produced - indeed this drum easily rivals the Ludwig 400 and Black Beauty as one of the most coveted studio snares. Your drum sound will positively dominate with the Tama 40th Anniversary Limited Edition Bell Brass Snare Reissue in your kit!

Extremely popular with rock drummers in the early 1980s, the Tama Bell Brass was the go-to snare when sheer power was desired. Starting out as a 12mm thick shell, Bell Brass snares were honed down to a 3mm thickness, polished, and lacquered. Lars Ulrich (Metallica), David Grohl (Nirvana/Foo Fighters) and Brad Wilk (Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave) have all used the Tama Bell Brass to obtain their powerful sound, as did legendary jazz drummer, Elvin Jones. Because of their unique sound, original Tama Bell Brass snares can sell for thousands of dollars on the used market.

Tama knows what drummers really want. Which is why, no matter how long you've been playing the drums, no matter what budget you have to work with, Tama has the drums and hardware you need, want, and can afford. Top drummers such as Mike Portnoy, Stewart Copeland, and Lars Ulrich play Tama drums - so you're in excellent company when you outfit your kit with Tama.
