Most of the other steel shell snare drums in this price range produce unwanted overtones. Most drummers struggle to control this with tuning and muffling. This TAMA Soul Toul signature snare drum features a special bearing edge to suppress unwanted overtones but still maintain steel's bright sound and enhanced projection.
The custom bearing edge is made of a special compound which is comparable to the sound of the double flanged edge typically found on vintage metal snares. This gives the snare a warm sound and lots of expression.
The concept behind the Soul Toul designed snare drum is that "Every drummer can use it for playing in any style or situation. It's easy to tune and very affordable." For easy tuning and maximum performance, it features 8-lug, triple flanged hoops and is made with a beautiful black nickel plated steel shell.
Soul Toul is one of the most famous and highly respected drummers in Japan, and a huge influence on drummers throughout the country.
