I've only played one in the store, but I was quite impressed. If you like it, though, that's the deciding factor. Just go for it.

Tama 7x13 SLP G Maple Snare
does anyone have any experience with this? If so let me know what you think.
I'm in the market for a maple snare and everything I've seen and heard about it is fantastic. Sounds amazing too.....Just seeing what others opinions about it are too.

There's a lot of good maple snares our there. I would let your ears decide. If is sounds good and is within your budget, go for it.
Proudly playing:
Doc Sweeney Drums
A bunch of snares
A bunch of cymbals
Off-Set double pedals
I think I love to play the drums simply because you get to hit 'em!!!
Re: Tama 7x13 SLP G Maple Snare
If I like it I buy it
/end of story.
You can never have enough snare drums.
Re: Tama 7x13 SLP G Maple Snare
Sounds pretty deep to me. Like the others have mentioned if you like it buy it.
Re: Tama 7x13 SLP G Maple Snare
I love 13" inch snares. I have three of them.... 5", 7" and an 8" deep. I think you'll find them very versatile in tone and easily adjustable from one point to another. . Especially the 7" and 8". You can tighten them for a nice funky pop, or loosen them just a little for a deeper warm sound.

Re: Tama 7x13 SLP G Maple Snare
6.5 is generally where I reach my cutoff point for depths. Deeper than that and I get more sustain than I can handle, and it becomes semi-difficult to get comfortably set up. As for that snare, i'd have no doubts it's quite good - but i'd have to hear it in person and not through somebody's soundsystem on youtube to be positive.

If I was buying a SLP snare it would be the G Maple.
Re: Tama 7x13 SLP G Maple Snare
Agreed. But, have you heard the 14x6.5 G birch?
Mmm... Saturns.
Re: Tama 7x13 SLP G Maple Snare
Not specifically, but I generally don't care for birch snares. My Starclassic snare is birch and I really don't like it.
Re: Tama 7x13 SLP G Maple Snare
I prefer the maple as well, but in this case they used a triple flanged hoop on the reso side instead of a die cast. It seems to help keep it from sounding as choked. I'm not big on birch snares, but it's one of the better ones I've heard.
Mmm... Saturns.
Re: Tama 7x13 SLP G Maple Snare
I'll have to check it out.
Re: Tama 7x13 SLP G Maple Snare
I know Musicians Friend has Drumcraft snares at extremely low prices..............not sure if they have a maple one though...............I've been looking at them, but the better half would lose it if I bought another snare drum!
Re: Tama 7x13 SLP G Maple Snare
I played the tama slp 13" snare on a gig a month ago. Actually I only used it in rehearsal for an outa town gig and I didnt like it at all!! I ended up borrowing a Ludwig Acrolite for the entire time I was on that gig. The tama sounded thin and small with not a lot of tone! All it had was a nice pop. I don't really care for 13" snares and this one really made me not care for them!!
