RW-256. Tame swirl 14x6.5'' Mastercraft Rosewood, 50th Anniversary.
In the 1980s, TAMA's Mastercraft Rosewood Snare Drum was the first and only drum of its kind. As a hard and dense material, Rosewood is commonly used in guitar fretboards, and only at the time was it available on drums as a single veneer. Full Rosewood drums are extremely difficult to produce, but their clean sound and dark tone make them extremely popular with drummers looking for a new sound.
Not long after the original release of the Mastercraft Rosewood Snare Drum, the TAMA brand became synonymous with Rosewood. This 50th Anniversary Limited Edition model faithfully reproduces the sound of the past. Familiar to those who were there at the beginning, and an exciting new discovery to those who weren't.
