TAMA 50th Anniversary Limited Mastercraft Rosewood Reissue Snare Drum (RW-255, RW-256)

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 as guitar fretboards, and at the time was only found on drums as a single outer-ply veneer. Full Rosewood drums are extremely difficult to produce, but their pure sound and dark tone makes them extremely popular among 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.

I have been a TAMA player all my life and a big big fan of Alex van Halen. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of these snares, could not be any happier

[@mrsayang]

I am a real TAMA fanboy. I have a Starclassic birch/walnut kit, several TAMA snares and all TAMA hardware. It´s the best drum maker and the 50th anniversary products show why. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Tama and alll the best. ❤❤❤🍀🍀🍀

[@WimTavernier]

Great that Tama will bring out this reissue fabulous snare after 43 years! I have the luck to have an original one now for two months in an extremely good condition. It’s a killer one! ❤❤

Parabéns a TAMA DRUMS por mais um ano de vida com muito sucesso.

[@AndrewKonkey]

NEED. I have an ‘84 vintage Swingstar that would go perfect with this gorgeous snare!

[@weschilton]

I'm super excited than I was able to snag one of these 5x14 rosewood snares! Thanks Tama!

[@johngrobson4899]

I have an original Tama Superstar Rosewood 6.5" × 14" from 1980 I believe the sound is even better now 🥁🔥🥁

[@weschilton]

Way to go Tama!

[@stromghouls]

the Alex Van Halen snare available at last.

[@tamabasher]

Almost….

[@24theMoney]

I knew someone would mention AVH

[@jendel42750]

It's "TAH-muh," NOT "TEH-muh," as I overheard a "TAH-muh" representative politely reminded a patron at the most recent NAMM Festival. AWESOME post, though. Tama's Superstar Series are my favorite make AND model of drums!

[@badtripmoses]

The Rosewood was a favorite of Alex VanHalen for awhile! Beautiful snare but too expensive for me.

[@PaulMarangoni]

Alex used a Ludwig Super Sensitive on the first two VH albums. That was his best drum sound.

[@mikelester7502]

@@PaulMarangonihe always had great snare tone, but I think 1984 was the best. Which was the tama rosewood

[@JulianFernandez]

drummer can play!

[@huarachudo47]

Are you guys planning to take all my money out from me? Damn!

[@JulianFernandez]

yessss

[@EvelioMancospeedandroll]

Alex Van Halen used a Tama Rosewood snare for many years.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

😂 Anytime I hear rosewood, I think of _Beverly Hills Cop,_ Dirty Rosewood 😂

[@elroyblackbean]

First time I've heard a company rep say "Taa-mah" -- not "Tah-mah". Which is correct?

[@matthewpaluch777]

AVH'S Original "BROWN SOUND"

[@DMBCJ21]

Who’s playing the snare. What’s his name?

[@raydelfernandez1624]

Realmente pienso que es una propuesta interesante ,lo único es que a mi en lo personal no me gusta el aspecto antiguo que tienen los herrajes

[@8hfcvfwr]

So I’m being informed these are already sold out and most tamales distributions are done with their allocations. Total B.S

[@Kyp031]

That's gotta cost a arm.
