Tama snare drum 13 x 7 with bright, powerful response
If you want a snare drum that reacts quickly while bringing plenty of volume, the Tama LGM137-STA S.L.P. is a strong choice. This 13 x 7 snare builds on the G-Maple concept and combines a thick 11-ply, 10 mm maple shell with heavy die-cast hoops, resulting in a bright, powerful sound with surprisingly strong projection and sensitivity.
The outer layer in Satin Tamo Ash gives this Tama S.L.P. snare drum its distinctive look. Within the S.L.P. series, this is also one of the most popular models.
Construction and details of the Tama LGM137-STA S.L.P.
The shell is made of maple with one outer layer of Tamo Ash. The 8-hole die-cast hoops contribute to a direct attack and controlled response, while the MTL60 brass tube lugs and MLS50A strainer are part of this model’s hardware setup.
The MS20SN13C snare wire also plays an important role in the sound. The super sensitive hi-carbon snare wire uses new materials, a revised plate shape and a changed winding pattern, allowing the wire to sit closer to the resonant head and improving both response and crisp character. For drum setup and maintenance, Magna Music also has its own workshop with in-house technicians.
For drummers who want sensitivity and volume
Because of the combination of size, shell thickness and snare wire, this snare drum works well in situations where you want both clear attack and strong presence. The 13 x 7 size gives this Tama snare its own place in your drum kit if you are looking for a compact diameter with a deeper shell.
That makes the Tama LGM137-STA S.L.P. a good option for drummers looking for a responsive snare drum with a bright tone and solid projection, in the rehearsal room or on stage.
