Tama 14" X 5.5" Woodworks Snare Drum

The Tama Woodworks 14" × 5.5" snare drum pairs a classic poplar shell with matte black hardware for a drum that works across studio and live settings. The 8mm, 8–ply construction delivers warm, woody tones with enough projection for gigging musicians, while the compact 5.5" depth sits comfortably in most kit setups. Black oak wrap finish gives the drum a professional appearance without the weight penalty of solid hardwood.

The snare features 20–strand regular carbon steel wires that respond cleanly across the dynamic range, from tight, controlled cracks to open, articulate buzzes. Triple–flanged hoops (8–hole, matte black) keep the head seated consistently, and the matte black lugs and strainer/butt hardware match throughout, eliminating visual conflict. This is a workhorse drum built for drummers who need reliability without unnecessary complexity or bloated price tags.
