Tama 12x7 snare drum with compact size and broad range
If you want a compact snare drum with more depth and range than you would expect from a 12 inch format, the Tama S.L.P. Mod Bubinga stands out straight away. The combination of a 12" diameter and an extra deep 7" shell opens up new sound options, with a notably dynamic response and a much broader tonal range.
That means this Tama snare gives you the bright, sharp sound often associated with a smaller snare drum, while adding extra body and more low-end presence. It works well when you want a compact drum that can still sound big and pronounced.
Bubinga character and Sound Arc hoops
The shell is made from Bubinga, a wood known for its naturally low, rich and resonant tone. In this 12x7 build, the snare drum keeps a full, solid voice while still delivering a powerful, sharp crack that cuts through clearly.
TAMA’s Sound Arc hoops add extra clarity and sharpness to the attack, while allowing the snare to resonate naturally with clear definition. The Mod Bubinga responds sensitively to every stroke, and even at lower tunings it captures detail with precision.
For Hip-Hop, Trap and electronic music
The wide tuning range makes this snare drum especially appealing if you like to vary pitch and character. In Hip-Hop, Trap and electronic music, that mix of compact dimensions, full body and defined attack fits particularly well.
The Satin Bubinga finish matches the character of the model nicely. If you are looking in the Magna Music webshop for a Tama snare drum that can expand your sound in a focused way, this S.L.P. Mod Bubinga suits an expressive and compact setup.
