Oof! We completely sold out of all 50th anniversary snare drums immediately when Tama announced them in early 2024, but we managed to get out hands on a couple of the very VERY last examples for Europe! The Rosewood snare's are scheduled for delivery in May 2024, but pre-order can be put in now! Don't hesitate too long though, because gone is gone and first come means first serve.
In the 1980s, TAMA's Mastercraft Rosewood Snare Drum was the first and only drum of its kind. As a hard and dense material, Rosewood is commonly used as guitar fretboards, and at the time was only found on drums as a single outer-ply veneer. Full Rosewood drums are extremely difficult to produce, but their pure sound and dark tone makes them extremely popular among drummers looking for a new sound. Not long after the original release of the Mastercraft Rosewood Snare Drum, the TAMA brand became synonymous with Rosewood.
This 50th Anniversary Limited Edition model faithfully reproduces the sound of the past. Familiar to those who were there at the beginning, and an exciting new discovery to those who weren't.
