INV 2949 The Tama Metalworks Effect Series Snare Drum is a 14" x 3" snare drum known for its unique sound. It features a 1.0mm steel shell that provides a sharp, cutting tone. The half-snare wire configuration gives it a lively snap with a very short sustain, making it perfect for cutting through the mix. Additionally, it comes with the Mod-Tone system, which allows for smooth and precise adjustment of the snare wire tension. The drum also includes a top-only triple-flanged hoop for a classic, open tone.
