Frequently Asked Questions

Maple tends to be brighter and more resonant; this walnut/bubinga snare offers a darker, more focused tone with a quicker decay.
They’re standard Tama lugs, but the shell’s construction and wood density really allow them to contribute to the overall tuning sensitivity.
Lacquer finishes can show fingerprints and minor scratches more readily than some other finishes, but Tama's application is quite durable and resistant.
