The Tama 13x7 S.L.P. G-Maple Snare Drum (LGM137STA) features a 10mm, 12-ply shell (Inner 11-ply Maple + Outer 1-ply Tamo Ash) with 45-degree bearing edges, 8 S.L.P. Brass Tube Lugs (MTL60), Die-Cast Hoops (MDH13-8 / MDH13S-8), Linear-Drive Stainer and Butt Plate (MLS50A / MLS50B), 20-strand Starclassic Hi-Carbon Steel Snare Wires (MS20SN13C), Tama logo Evans Coated G1 batter drumhead, Tama logo Evans Snare Side drumhead, a Satin Tamo Ash Lacquer finish, chrome hardware, and Tama S.L.P. badge.
The award winning G Maple concept is built on the foundation of a thicker 11ply, 10mm Maple shell, and augmented by heavy die-cast hoops, giving it a bright, powerful, sound with surprising volume and sensitivity.
Starclassic snares wires offer several unique, highly useful features. When adding more tension to the wires, the strands press closer to the snare head. Tama has also redesigned the angle of the end plates and added thinner straps to obtain optimum response.
Made of die-cast zinc, Tama's die-cast hoops deliver an incredibly sharp, solid rim shot that cannot be found in any other hoop.
