Tama AW455 50th Anniversary Mastercraft Artwood 14" x 5" Birch Snare Drum Limited Edition

The Tama AW455 50th Anniversary Mastercraft Artwood Snare Drum is a highly anticipated reissue of the iconic Mastercraft Artwood snare, first released in 1980. This limited edition snare drum features a beautifully stained multi-section centre wood inlay, paying homage to the original design. Crafted with a 9mm, 6-ply all-birch shell, it delivers a robust low-mid tone and clear projection, making it perfect for any musical setting. The drum is equipped with Tama's innovative Roller Action Strainer for detailed and sensitive snare response, along with a One-Touch Tone Control for quick and subtle muffling adjustments. The 10-hole die-cast hoops ensure clear attack and consistent tuning, while the reproduction of the original snare side hoop with a larger snare wire window adds a unique touch. Celebrating Tama’s 50 years of excellence, this snare drum is a true masterpiece for collectors and musicians alike.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we like the AW455 for its exquisite craftsmanship, powerful sound, and the innovative features that make it a standout piece in any drummer's arsenal.
