    Default G.A.S. New snare. Very excited.

    Now that’s a snare drum!

    In the early 2000s, Tama released an ultra high-end series of snare drums called the Tama Warlord Collection. Four 6”x14” uniquely appointed snares made up the series: the Valkyrie in maple, the Masai in African bubinga, the Spartan in stainless steel, and the Praetorian in bell brass. The snares were inspired by and named for “the power, discipline, and élan of one of history’s elite warrior forces,” according to Tama’s 2007 catalog.

    Each of the four snares features its own striking shell with Warlord Collection lugs featuring specially cut Swarovski crystals—jet black for the wooden-shelled drums and clear black for the metal-shelled drums. Each of the drums also features a “Hi-Carbon Snappy Snare” that uses strong steel for its coil to provide sharp, sensitive sound.

    The Warlord Collection was discontinued after a relatively short run, and the drums are hard to come by on the used market these days making these snares extremely desirable and rare amongst drummers and collectors.

    With its 3mm seamless brass shell and die cast hoops this drum is heavy. Quite heavy. And it sounds just amazing. With medium tuning, played light it’s sensitive and responsive and graceful and played hard it slams and cracks! Wow!

    The seller was amazing and kept in contact via text the whole time as he was just as eager to make sure it arrived safe.

    I’m still shaking a bit and in disbelief this crossed my path and is now in the music room.

    I’m certainly going to enjoy this for many years.

    Just wow!
