New for 2026, TAMA has unveiled a brand-new signature snare drum developed in collaboration with long-time signature artist, Mike Portnoy. This snare combines striking aesthetics with a unique set of specifications, meticulously designed to put Mike’s signature tones into the hands of drummers worldwide.
The snare features an 8mm, 9-ply Bubinga shell, offering a finely-tuned balance of power, projection, and focus. This shell composition ensures the drum will speak with authority and cut through any mix with an unrestrained presence. Complementing the shell are 8-hole, chrome Die-Cast hoops and TAMA’s iconic Starclassic lugs. Other notable features include 20-strand Starclassic Carbon Steel snare wires and a reliable Remo Coated Ambassador batter head.
Finally, the snare drum is finished in an energetic, one-of-a-kind cascade that blends white and metallic purple. This singular and unique aesthetic is offered on no other TAMA snare drum, making it visually compelling and instantly recognizable.
