What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Clear, bright tone from Brass Sound Arc Hoops





To help balance the low-mid richness of the aluminum shell, the TAMA Star Reserve Hand Hammered Aluminum Snare Drum is equipped with TAMA's 8-lug Brass Sound Arc hoops. Enhancing the drum's sensitivity while accentuating high-end snap and definition, these high-quality hoops play a large role in this snare drum's unique voice.





Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snare Wire





TAMA’s Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snare Wires are specially designed to maximize snare response. Special windings and custom plates allow these snare wires to sit closer to the bottom head, resulting in greater sensitivity and a brighter, crisper sound overall. Drummers at Sweetwater testify that even your softest ghost notes will come through with definition.





Linear-Drive throw off and butt plate





TAMA’s model MLS50 throw off prevents the "slap" of snare wires hitting the bottom head, allowing seamless transitions between tenored and active snare tones. The Linear-Drive system holds snare wires firmly and safely at a 30-degree angle, and it features a linear-motion strainer mechanism for precise snare tensioning. A matching butt plate completes the set.
