Tama Mike Portnoy Signature Bubinga Snare Drum 14x5.5

TAMA Limited Edition Mike Portnoy Signature Snare Drum: The "Dream Monster"

In the Fall of 2023, Mike Portnoy’s return to Dream Theater inspired TAMA to create a new "Monster." The result is a Limited Edition snare drum featuring the same stunning finish as Mike’s one-of-a-kind "Dream Monster" kit. This bold instrument is designed to make a monster statement on any stage.

Artistic "Dream Monster" Finish

Taking inspiration from the original "Purple Monster," this snare features a custom finish born from Mike Portnoy’s artistic vision:

• Hand-Painted Detail: A vibrant white paint flows naturally into a rich purple sparkle. Because every shell is expertly hand-painted, no two drums are exactly the same.

Monster Specs and Versatility

This signature model follows the exact specifications of Mike’s current touring snare, providing immense power and control:

• Bubinga Shell: Crafted from a thick 8mm, 9-ply Bubinga, delivering the deep, dark, and aggressive tone that Mike demands.
• Die-Cast Hoops: Provide consistent tuning stability and sharp, powerful rimshots.
• 3-Way Tension Adjustable Strainer: A unique feature that allows drummers to instantaneously switch between tight, loose, and off settings for maximum sonic versatility.

Experience a piece of drumming history with this Limited Edition signature snare—a dream color for a monster player.
