Tama has added to its lineup of Star Reserve snare drums with the Hand Hammered Aluminum snare. Its 6.5- by 14-inch shell consists of a 3mm-thick piece of aluminum. The overall dimensions of the drum, combined with the shell material, supply a dramatic and complex sound. The low frequencies are extremely rich and the high end is powerful and present throughout the entire tuning range.
