TAMA LAL1455 S.L.P. 14"x5.5" Classic Dry Aluminum Snare Drum
Classic Aluminium Tone with a Dry, Focused Voice
The TAMA S.L.P. Classic Dry Aluminum snare delivers a timeless, vintage-inspired tone with the reliability and precision of modern engineering. Built from a seamless 1.2mm aluminium shell with a centre bead, this 14"x5.5" model offers a crisp, articulate sound with naturally short sustain – ideal for players who appreciate that iconic dry aluminium character found on countless classic recordings.
Crisp Attack and Short Decay
The combination of the aluminium shell and 2.3mm Steel Mighty Hoops (8-lug) produces a snare with quick response, tightened overtones, and a sharp, defined rimshot. Its controlled nature makes it perfect for studio work, funk, pop, and any style where precision and focus take priority over long, ringing resonance. Despite its dryness, the drum remains sensitive across all dynamics, aided by high-quality MS20RL14C snare wires.
Vintage Style, Modern Reliability
Featuring TAMA’s Superstar lugs, the LAL1455 blends a retro aesthetic with dependable tuning stability. The TAMA MLS30A/B “Linear-Drive” strainer system ensures smooth snare engagement and easy adjustability. With Evans G1 coated and snare-side heads straight out of the box, the drum is ready for professional performance from day one.
