The SLP Mod Bubinga Snare Drum from Tama
The SLP Mod Bubinga 12" snare drum offers an exciting gateway to fresh sonic possibilities. While 12" snares are typically known for their bright and sharp sound, the added shell depth significantly expands its tonal capabilities. With a 7" depth, the Mod Bubinga delivers a uniquely dynamic tone that goes beyond what smaller shells usually achieve.
Crafted from Bubinga, a wood renowned for its naturally rich, low, and resonant qualities, this 12x7 snare combines a substantial body with a sharp, defined crack. Equipped with Sound Arc hoops, it provides a crisp, clear attack while allowing the drum to resonate freely with impressive clarity and definition.
Ideal for genres like Hip-Hop, Trap, and Electronic music, the Mod Bubinga is perfect for drummers seeking a compact yet highly expressive snare to enhance their sound. This drum invites players into a world of innovative expression and limitless creativity.
This SLP Mod Bubinga Artist Model is a special collaboration with Philo Tsoungui of The Mars Volta. Philo studied classical percussion and has been active in a wide range of musical genres, from Rock to Jazz and Hip Hop. Based on the regular LBU127, this version features an EVANS Genera Dry batter head for a tight, controlled, and dryer sound, and finished in custom Electro Turquoise, perfectly complementing Philo's unique blend of musical styles.
