The LSS1465 "Sonic Stainless Steel” snare, featuring a 1.2mm-thick shell, offers a solid and extremely powerful sound. A newly-developed 3.0mm-thick steel Mighty Hoop provides a clearer attack, even from low to mid tuning ranges. 30-strand steel snare wire TAMA MS30R14S provides a moderate volume and a bright sound. At 3.0mm thick, the Ultimate Steel Mighty Hoop offers an open and warm sound. While maintaining the rounded attack of a standard triple flange hoop, the extreme thickness produces extra power, volume and resonance.
