zZounds Gear Experts Say...

Looking for a deeper snare sound? The Tama S.L.P. Mod Bubinga snare drum offers rich tone and excellent sensitivity for versatile, dynamic playing.

Overview

The S.L.P. Mod Bubinga 12" snare drum opens the door to greater sonic possibilities. While the smaller 12" size commonly delivers a bright & sharp sound, making the shell deeper significantly increases its tonal range. The Mod Bubinga features a 7" depth, adding a distinctively dynamic tone to the smaller shell that may have otherwise been unachievable. Made of Bubinga, a naturally low, rich & resonant wood, the 12x7" snare maintains significant body with solid crack. Additionally, the snare is fitted with Sound Arc hoops that deliver a crisp, clear attack and allow the snare to resonate naturally and openly with distinct definition.

Perfect for Hip-Hop, Trap, and Electronic Music, the Mod Bubinga is for the drummer looking to explore & expand their sound with an infinitely expressive snare drum in a small package. The Mod Bubinga leads drummers into a world of innovative expression.

After 45 years of drumming, my snare drum tastes have changed. I've been experimenting with "poppy" snare drums for a while and the Tama SLP Mod Bubinga is the bomb! Not only can you get that deep pop, but you can also tune it to a nice "gunshot" pop with a tad of ring...just the way I like it. My only criticism of this drum is that Tama quality has taken a slight dive (kind of like the mid 80's). The rims are chromed but probably only one or two plates. The lugs are the same as you can see the imperfections of the steel in both. Other than the drop in qulaity, this is a great snare drum for that unique sound.
