The TAMA Lars Ulrich Signature snare drum is a powerhouse designed to withstand the intense playing style of Metallica's legendary drummer. The 3 mm diamond-plated steel shell provides an aggressive attack with an unmistakably bright tone, making it an essential component of any drummer's arsenal. Whether on stage or in the studio, this snare drum embodies the raw energy and precision that define Lars Ulrich's signature sound.
Diamond-Plated Steel for Maximum Impact
At the heart of this signature snare drum is a shell constructed from a thick 3 mm slab of diamond-plated steel, offering unparalleled durability and tonal clarity. Steel snares are known for their sharp attack and bright, cutting presence, but this model takes it a step further with its reinforced thickness, ensuring every hit delivers maximum impact. The shell's reflective diamond-plated finish not only adds to the drum's striking aesthetic but also enhances its ability to project through even the heaviest of guitar-driven soundscapes. Whether played at a low or high tuning, this snare delivers the brutal snap and sensitivity that define Ulrich's unmistakable sound.
Precision Hardware for Unshakable Performance
A high-performance snare drum needs premium hardware, and TAMA has equipped this model with features built for reliability and versatility. The ten center-mounted MSL35 lugs provide exceptional tuning stability, while their grommeted bases eliminate unwanted rattling—ensuring that the drum remains solid no matter how intense the playing gets. A set of die-cast zinc hoops further reinforce the drum's tuning consistency and add an extra layer of attack and low-end depth. These hoops lock down the drum heads securely, offering superior stick response and making rim shots sound incredibly powerful.
Versatile Tuning and Snare Control
With its 14x6.5" dimensions, the snare drum offers a universal feel that suits drummers of all styles, while its wide tuning range allows for a variety of sonic possibilities. The MLS50A strainer is designed for quick and precise snare wire adjustments, making it easy to modify the drum's sensitivity on the fly. Equipped with 20-strand snare wires, this drum delivers a crisp, articulate response that can be fine-tuned to match any performance setting. Whether you need a deep, thunderous crack or a sharp, high-pitched snap, this snare adapts effortlessly to your playing needs.
Built to Thrash, Designed to Impress
A drum of this caliber wouldn't be complete without a look that matches its aggressive sound. The chrome-finished hardware complements the industrial, diamond-plated shell, giving it a striking, road-ready appearance. Lars Ulrich's signature badge adds an exclusive touch, making this snare a must-have for Metallica fans and serious drummers alike. Whether you're laying down punishing backbeats or dialing in subtle ghost notes, this snare drum is built to deliver unrelenting power and precision. The TAMA Lars Ulrich Signature Snare isn't just an instrument—it's a statement of raw energy and heavy metal dominance.
