Description
[Used TAMA 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Snare Drum in stock! In excellent condition!]

[MADE IN JAPAN. In the 1980s, it was the world's first and only all-rosewood snare drum.]
That's the Mastercraft Rosewood snare drum. Rosewood is famous for being used as a guitar fretboard material and has also been used as an exterior material for drums. However, due to its extremely hard nature, producing an all-rosewood drum shell remains extremely difficult, even with today's technological advances. However, its dark tone, sweet resonance, and powerful sound became extremely popular among drummers seeking a new sound, establishing the notion that rosewood = TAMA. This limited-edition 50th anniversary model recreates the sound of the past. The unique sound of rosewood will provide a wonderful musical experience not only for those familiar with the era, but also for those newly experiencing this sound.

[7.5mm 15ply All Indian Rosewood Shell]
Rosewood is famous for being used as a guitar fingerboard material and has also been used as an exterior material for drums. However, due to its extremely hard nature, producing all-rosewood drum shells remains extremely difficult, even with today's technological advances. However, its dark tone, sweet resonance, and powerful sound became extremely popular among drummers seeking a new sound, and rosewood became synonymous with TAMA. The 7.5mm 15-ply all-rosewood shell is characterized by its dark, deep tone and powerful sound.

18 strands of Carbon Steel Long Snare Wires (Full-length snare wire)
The 18-strand carbon steel snare wire and filament tape are faithfully reproduced to the original specifications. Compared to the internal contact method, only the snare wire comes into contact with the back of the head, resulting in a more sensitive response.


[Roller Action Strainer]
This revolutionary strainer delivers the subtle tonal expression and voluminous buzz of full-surface snare wire, while improving operability with a simple design. The key features are the guide roller, which moves up and down over a 3mm range, and a small spring that assists its movement. This allows for a greater drop in the snare wire, while the spring's repulsive force ensures the guide roller is securely separated from the head. This makes it easy to switch the strainer on and off, and its simple design has attracted a great deal of attention. This strainer, once discontinued, has been faithfully reproduced in this model, allowing you to experience its unique tone and operability once again.


[6302N Strainer]
This strainer switch butt is a faithful reproduction of the original. Even the "OWARIASAHI/AICHI JAPAN" engraving on the strainer switch, referring to the city of Owariasahi, Aichi Prefecture, where TAMA drums were manufactured at the time, has been faithfully reproduced. Furthermore, the diameter of the square-head bolt that secures the filament tape retainer plate has been increased from 4mm to 5mm, improving durability.


[Die-Cast Hoop (10 holes)]
The 10-tension Die Cast Hoop was not common in the early '80s, but it was adopted for all Mastercraft series drums to achieve a clear attack and a sound with good sound projection. The snare side hoop has been redesigned with a windowed design that prevents the snare wire from touching the floor.


[One Touch Tone Control]
This inside muffler was developed for the original Mastercraft snare drum. At the time of the Mastercraft's release, recording technology was not yet advanced, and controlling the sound of the drum itself was crucial, so it was adopted by many drums. The One Touch Tone Control, in particular, was highly praised as a groundbreaking idea, allowing for subtle mute adjustments and one-touch on/off switching. This mechanism, which allows for instant sound changes even while playing, opens up new sonic possibilities, even in today's world of advanced recording technology.


[Original Superstar Badge & Superstar Lug]
The original T-shaped Superstar emblem has been recreated, as well as the original Superstar lugs.
