Tama BST1055MBK Metalworks 10" x 5.5" Steel Snare Drum – Matte Black
A Compact, Punchy Steel Snare with Sharp Attack and Modern Style
The Tama BST1055MBK Metalworks 10" x 5.5" Snare Drum is a compact steel snare designed for drummers who want a bright, cutting voice with fast response and surprising versatility. Its smaller 10" shell diameter provides tight, focused attack, making it perfect as a main snare for funk, hip-hop, electronic and pop, or as an auxiliary snare for expanding creative setups. Finished in matte black with matching hardware, it brings both attitude and performance to your kit.
1.0 mm Steel Shell with Reinforced Centre Ridge
Built from a 1.0 mm steel shell, this snare offers a naturally bright, lively tone with enhanced projection. The shell’s centre ridge provides extra rigidity, improving durability and subtly focusing the sound. Tuned high, the drum delivers crisp punctuation and tight snap; tuned low, it produces smooth, controlled resonance with a pleasing metallic character. This makes it highly adaptable for both studio and live environments.
Matte Black Hardware and Triple-Flanged Hoops
The snare features 1.6 mm triple-flanged hoops in a matching matte black finish, offering open resonance while keeping rimshots sharp and defined. The clean monochrome aesthetic makes this Metalworks snare visually striking without being overbearing. Equipped with MUS65A/MUS60B strainer and butt plate, the drum provides smooth, reliable snare-wire engagement.
Crisp Response from Starclassic Snare Wires
Fitted with MS16R10S snare wires, this drum delivers lively, articulate response that enhances the steel shell’s naturally bright personality. It also includes a tom bracket, making placement flexible for hybrid or auxiliary setups.
