Tama PE1445 Peter Erskine 14x4.5-Inch Signature Jazz Snare Drum

Tama PE1445 Peter Erskine 14x4.5-Inch Jazz Snare Drum - Hand-signed and Numbered

Designed to be affordable without any compromise in its playability or sonic footprint, the Peter Erskine Jazz Snare by TAMA is a unique 14x4.5-Inch drum, made of Spruce and Maple plies with a reinforcing ring on the batter side only. The drum whispers and shouts, with brilliant focus and snap. The sensitivity provided by the shallow depth is balanced by the 8-lug design which allows for a low fundamental body of sound. The drum follows your every command and will take you to new places, too. Every drummer should have a "Jazz Snare" as part of their collection; the beautiful wood/gloss finish assures compatibility with any drum set. On each signature snare drum, a special sticker bearing the artist’s signature is placed on the inside of every shell. The artist signs each sticker by hand, one by one, adding a personal touch that makes each signature snare drum especially unique.

• 6mm, 4ply Spruce + 2 inner ply Maple shell
• 8 lug design
• Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snare Wire
• "Linear-Drive” Strainer

In order to provide a more crisp and sensitive sound, Tama redesigned their Snare Wires using new materials, customizing the shape of the plate, and changing the wire coils' winding pattern. As a result, the new "Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snare Wire” fits more closely to the snare side head, providing greater sensitivity and brighter, crisper sound. The "Linear-Drive" strainer is designed for greater control of the lever adjustment arm and more precise control of the strainer's deployment motion. The strainer movement works in a true linear motion. Even if the strainer is engaged rapidly, you will not hear the typical "slap" of the snare wires hitting the bottom drumhead.
