Expressive Power – The Tama 6.5 x 14-Inch Kaz Rodriguez Signature Maple / Bubinga Snare Drum
Kaz Rodriguez is a Grammy award-winning drummer and composer who has performed with numerous top artists, including Josh Groban and Chaka Khan, earning worldwide acclaim from drummers for his dynamic yet delicate playing style. In addition to touring and recording, his work as a composer has led to a distinctive musical voice that continues to captivate fans across genres.
- 10mm, 6ply maple and 6ply bubinga shell construction
- 2.3mm steel Sound Arc hoops with inward-curved design
- Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon snare wires with snare cords
- Matte metallic gold finish
- Limited-edition model with hand-signed interior sticker
This limited signature snare drum is the result of over two years of development in pursuit of Kaz’s ideal sound—one that combines sensitivity with deep, resonant shell tone.
The shell features a 6ply maple and 6ply bubinga hybrid construction with a 10mm total thickness, blending maple’s bright, natural tone with the powerful depth of bubinga. Its 6.5-inch depth contributes to a full-bodied resonance and quick response—core elements of the sound Kaz envisioned.
Finished in a matte metallic gold that evokes the look of a brass shell, this drum is designed to complement any drum kit while attracting attention on stage.
This is a truly special, limited-edition model that embodies both the sound and the visual presence Kaz Rodriguez has long pursued throughout his diverse career.
10mm, 6ply Maple and 6ply Bubinga
Kaz’s signature snare drum fuses the bright, well-defined tone of maple with the dense, powerful sound of bubinga. The result is a highly expressive and responsive drum that cuts through any mix without sacrificing sensitivity, and delivers the kind of presence Kaz demands.
2.3mm Sound Arc Hoop
Paired with TAMA’s original 2.3mm steel Sound Arc hoops that feature an inward-curved design, the snare’s overtones are subtly controlled and these hoops produce a highly focused sound with crisp and sharp attack.
Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snare Wires
Offering exceptional contact with the head, these snare wires combine crisp articulation with smooth response. And while most snare wires are attached with a standard strap, Kaz’s signature model uses TAMA’s snare cords for increased strength and enhanced sensitivity―Kaz’s personal preference to achieve a wide expressive range.
Inside Sticker
On all TAMA signature snare drums, a special sticker bearing the artist’s signature is placed on the inside of every shell. Kaz’s signature snare drum is no exception. Adding a personal touch, Kaz hand signed every sticker one by one, and each sticker is applied by hand to every snare drum.
