I browsed this thread and was shocked to not see a Melody Master for a while, and then I saw the 12" steel one....
So I'll have to supply the thread with the other, the 14" maple (with one steel ply ) Melody Master:
That "steel ply" thing is a joke, right?
I examined an early MP snare and I really don't remember it having metal inside. And the Tama site says nothing about it either.
Too weird.
That would be appreciated. It's not that I don't believe you, I just think it very strange that Tama wouldn't put that on their site for that specific model. And that I don't remember it.
Yeah, it just looks dark unless I'm having a blonde moment.
Hi there! Where ever that is...
As a newcomer and a wannabe around here let's add some more salt to the snare not snake soup: my Artstar Cordia, a beauty and a beast all at the same time - in size 8x14...
This snare is pretty plain, if understated in appearance. It's a 1978 Tama fiberstar "black fiberglass" snare drum. I ran across this gem at Donn Bennett's drum studio in Bellvue, Washington. It was sitting in the back on a shelf. He wants something to the tune of $600 for it.
It's one of the most overlooked and underrated snares ever made. It's very loud and cutting, and crisp.
