Tama Rosewood master craft
Sonor Hilite Exclusive, yes with the massively over engineered Horst Link era copper plated hardware.
I ordered a bell-brass replica with original hardware for half the price. Sounds awesome
I love how Nick introduces "THE rock snare of all snares ever made" with brushes! Absolute genius. This snare commands a high price and Nick's artistry is pure gold. I can save up for this beast but, in the meantime, I have some woodshedding/practicing to do!
Great presentation Nick ... great smile on your face ... 2nd vid I see of the Bell Brass reissue where the presenter/performer had a huge smile as they played the snare ... must be an amazing instrument!! TAMA strikes again !!
Legendary Tama Bell Brass! I was lucky enough to play one in the 80”s. Best snare ever created!
Great sound but let’s be honest, Nick could play a tupperware bowl with popsicle sticks and would still sound great! 🔥🔥🔥
One of the best demos on this channel ever.I melted on lower tuning.
What they fail to mention is the 4k price tag. Sounds great but at what cost?
What we've been waiting for. Hopefully this will drive down prices of the original and re-issues as well.
Between this (and the OG) and the Yamaha Weckl dual strand snare, my holy grails. This 50th is gorgeous.
Excellent excellent, nice to hear the brushes
Thank you
That snare sounds amazing. Wow.
Beautiful vintage brass finish!
I have to get me one of those!! Thanks Nick!!
such a cool looking snare
Got mine coming in the mail from you guys. Can't wait. I will say DCP's video did go into way more detail about this drum, regarding the casting and whatnot.
First time I've ever seen brushes used on this cannon of a snare.
Happy to see this come back 👍
Love your vids and would like to get your opinion in one of your own vids.
Hey Jake! Thanks for checking in with a note of confidence 👍 it's on the list. but a heads up on this one. it isn't going to give you anything the previous models haven't. It's a nice drum and I'm happy to see TAMA re-release it but again, ultimately. there is no magic in this particular model. just some cool features. it's a collector's piece and because I have a fairly harsh judgment of review, I'm gunna delay my review. as I don't want potential sales of this drum to be affected in a negative way...same for the Zildjian. @@CiaoGibson
I was more so into the playing than the product!! I’d study drums with Nick D. in a heartbeat!! 😊 Now that I got that off my chest, TAMA hit a home run with this 50th Anniversary offering!! I used TAMA hardware and drums from 1977 to 1997. A return to what put them on the map in the first place let’s me reminisce of my younger days and the excitement in the world of drums, the technique behind it and the artists that inspired me!! I’m all in!! 🥁
The only 4K of mine that will ever see this drum is my TV screen 😫
🤣
To quote Kim's Convince, "it has 4 Ks"...
I applaud the doctors and lawyers who are able to afford to buy one of these.
Impecable technic...!!!
Yeah sounds great and fantastic and funny Demo :-) thanks for that.
FINALLY! a Sweetwater drum demo video that doesn’t sound terrible! Most previous SW drum demo videos are so gated, muted, muffled, or the music is louder than whatever is being demoed that they were unwatchable. WHO made this change?! GIVE THEM A RAISE! It’s like someone has been watching videos from Drum Center of Portsmouth and figured out how drums are supposed to sound. Nick knows his stuff and sounds great as always.
Awesome!!!🌟🌟💯💯
Dude you are a frgin amazing DRUMMER!!👍👍
😎👍♥️🇯🇵🥁🔊🎼I think they got it right this time!
And he could play his snare just like ringing a bell....
That really did sound great! At any tuning and any muffling point. I generally like my snare tuned a little higher but that did sound good super low. Too bad I just bought a supraphonic from you guys.
Really fantastic presentation, Nick! I would buy one immediately if I just had an extra 4 or 5k laying around...which I don't.
You too huh?
I misread it. I read TAMA MASTERCARD Bell Brass Snare Drum. Not wrong either.😂
Great looking and sounds amazing, send me one 😂
YES!!!!!!
When you tuned on high and low, did you adjust both heads, or just the batter head..?
There is price . . There is face . . 😊
Please review the mastercraft rosewood 6.5 x14
I truly don’t think there is anyone better than Sweetwater.
So are these ever coming back or was it just a giant tease from TAMA
the shopping link does not work
The link is bad. I had to turn off my VPN and when it did open it's not on a page with this snare.
They are probably all sold and being scalped already 😂😂😂 be ready to pay $10k on reverb
These are not limited edition, which is a great call really, cos with that price might take awhile to put money awsy for this one 😂@Pericles777
They are talking about the lugs and strainer being available as spares as it back in production, it they don't over price them you could buy a bronze shell and built one of these for lass than half the price.@@Pericles777
Sounds wayyyyy better with a cs black dot.
How true this snare is to the original? It would be nice to compare it to the original. Vk snare are really nice too
drum center of porthmouth have that video, it barely noticeable.
@@krusher74 thanks
I mean it’s a sick drum but there’s really no reason it should cost that much lol
You're absolutely correct!! All these supposed 'high end' snare drums are way over priced!! There's too much hype about these instruments!!
It's because of what it was known to be used on. Metallica's Black Album, Nirvana's Nevermind, the list goes on. It's dense, musical and powerful sound was perfect for hard hittng songs. The snare was expensive even in the 80's.
Gretsch's USA bell brass goes for around $700 and can get a similar tone. But something about the TAMA has that tonal quality.
Companies that enjoy consumer loyalty will often charge the highest price that the market will bear. You're not willing to pay the price for this drum. Neither am I. But other folks will pay it. Tama's marketing folks surely came to this price after considerable research.
@@eggysauce FWIW, I read recently that the snare sounds on Nevermind were subtley augmented with samples....so it's debateable whether what we're hearing is the true sound of the BB snare.
Collectors pay tens of thousands of dollars for the original version of this drum, so $4000 is a pretty steep discount. It’s also made from a specialized cast bronze alloy, which is far more expensive and sophisticated to make than other metal snares, so this is actually a pretty fair price for the instrument.
$4000 for a snare drum? Stick It, pun intended.
I just don't understand the price 😮
The tooling to cast one piece can be $50k, when you have to make all the parts to make it just like the original that's not cheap. Its not like its just using Tamas existing parts.
Only *you* can answer this question [and I'm not being a smart arse.] Does the Tama snare sound 3,300.00 better than the Ludwig 402?? Or you pick a fave snare drum or your choice... So if you answered yes it does sound better, cool/fair enough; but how much money wise 3,300.00 or maybe just 300.00 better than one of your favorite snare drums. Only *you* can make that decision. That's the way I personally buy my drums. If a 3 pack set is 2k - 4k more than my new retailed Ludwigs, I ask myself does it really sound 2k or lol 4k better? That Tama Bell Brass IS amazing, but 3k $$ more amazing...? Lol "You Make The Call."
I know that there are a few folks out there who can justify the cost. But, not sure that it is always a cost-benefit of better sound versus cost. Some people have the means to collect gear just to collect it (sounds nice!!), some likely may have had a Tama Bell Brass/Bronze fixation that will get satisfied with this snare, some might see it as an investment (though the DCP video made it sound like this is not a limited-edition item, which may reduce collectability somewhat). I tend to gasp when it comes to gear this costly, but I know I have splurged on concert tickets when some people may have asked "is it THAT MUCH better to be in the front row?" To me, it was, but I pick my spots. I am amazed at how much gear prices are rising, and I assume that there are enough people out paying these prices to have it makes sense for the companies. When Sabian put out a $900 ride last year (I think it was last year ...), I was shocked. But, they sold a bunch of them. I used to think that a $350 ride was pricey, and now so many of them are $550-600. Amazing. But, if the market is there, I guess we will keep going up.
@@jasonb2180 I hear ya, that's why I said, "only `you can make the call."
I mean, does a Neumann U87 sound $8k better than an SM57?
This drum has the nostalgia, collectibility factor to it. It most likely will retain it value and perhaps gain value with time. There are many, many snare drums at a fraction of the cost of this snare that can equal in sound and quality, but in most cases won't hold the value of a snare like this.
@@clifffitch8495 Yes I agree, and nostalgia and collectibility comes in many different forms. I've been surfing for decades, with certain surfboards - ya got nostalgia, collectibility and of coarse the good o'l bragging rights, lol but many (not all) of said boards ride horrible in fact if the waves are 'on' and it's a special/great day with amazing conditions you don't grab the one that's *worth the most; you grab -- or at least I grab the one that's `best for the job/conditions.
And what I just said applies to everyone differently. Tama fans are more inclined and drawn in to purchase the drum, non Tama fans are like, "yeah it sounds good, BUT FOR 3K...?! " Peace
Ugh…YOLO lol right? 24 month financing here I come 😂
This snare sounds amazing, but I can’t justify 4 grand 😂
Who can these days
I agree, my Ludwig Supraphonic still rocks so I want this but why?
2 different sounds, its not unusual to want both@@roblianoofficial
Think how many people buy a watch over $4k, for people with a $20k rolex and $100k BMW this isnt expensive. I good bag of golf clubs with set you back $4k @@erictorres4889
@@krusher74 Of course, that's why I have four drum kits and seven snares as it is LOL
Uffff 😝
The best thing is the price 😂
Well F-me! $4,000 ?!?!!! It looks interesting, but not $4K interesting.
a remo powerstroke head would bring the real drumsnare out of that snare drum..those heads make it sound horrible salutes from phoenix arizona
Only $4000…
Whoever had the idea to start the video with brush playing. Fire them.
😂 for real
Yeah, ludicrous!
Hey, put your wallet on it - it might sound better.
I'd have to sell my car.
$4,000 is insane. Drummers are still the blue collar weekend hard core workers and will not support this can price.
tell that to yourself, it mostly sold out.
I don't care how good it sounds, a snare drum is not worth 4 grand lol
Gotta be a dentist to afford this.
Even with the damper fully applied you hear that horrible tin can horrible ring. Wood shells are so much better.
Way too many overtones for me.
that's remo ambassadors for you they do that to everything, put a evans HD dry on it.
Just another tin bucket, tends to sound horrible. The price is ridiculous, Tama is kidding you.
sick looking snare. wish they went with the bb hoops though
Good snare a lot of others nearest sound is good
$4,000 is insane. Drummers are still the blue collar weekend hard core workers and will not support this can price.
