Tama's S.L.P Big Black Steel Snare Drum is a titan of tonal fortitude. At 14 inches in diameter and 8 inches deep, this massive snare produces a huge, wet, and resonant sound that cuts through the mix with ease. Its 1mm-thick steel shell delivers a blend of low-end thunder and high-end sizzle for a versatile tone that suits hard-hitting styles. Triple-flanged Steel Mighty Hoops provide rigid, non-choking rimshots and articulate accents. Played hard, soft or anywhere in between, the Big Black Steel snare has a deep, penetrating character that dominates.

Enormous Size Yields Monstrous Tone

The Big Black Steel snare, colossal 14 x 8 inches size gives it a cavernous tone with tremendous resonance and projection. Each stroke elicits a full, saturated sound with lengthy sustain. The expansive shell also provides a wide dynamic range, from hushed ghost notes to face-melting rimshots. For drummers seeking a bold, all-encompassing snare tone, size matters.

1mm-Thick Steel Shell Delivers Versatility

At the heart of the Big Black Steel snare is a 1mm-thick steel shell, which produces a blend of low-end rumble and high-end cut that suits an array of musical styles. The dense, rigid steel provides a firm tonal foundation and crystalline rimshot, while its thickness yields warmth and resonance. Whether you play metal, hard rock, punk or beyond, this versatile, characterful snare is ready to deliver.

Built to Withstand Punishment

Tama designed the Big Black Steel snare to endure the hardest-hitting playing styles. Its robust steel shell and thick Steel Mighty Hoops are built for power. Triple-flanged hoops provide rigid rimshots and prevent choking. All hardware is heavy-duty. Played with force, this brawny snare unleashes its full potential. Yet its sensitivity also allows for nuanced playing. Built Tama-tough, the Big Black Steel snare thrives when pitted against the most extreme playing.
