The limited edition Tama RW-255 Mastercraft Snare 14" x 5" Rosewood is a reissue of the popular snare drum from the 80s in the original design. The rosewood shell has a thickness of 15 mm with fifteen layers of wood and is equipped with a solid die-cast hoop (10 holes). A special feature is the One Touch Control internal mute, which delivers the perfect vintage sound. Ten original Superstar lugs and the matching Superstar badge round off the design.

In the 1980s, the TAMA Mastercraft Rosewood snare drum was the first and only drum of its kind. Rosewood, a hard and dense material, was usually only used for guitar fingerboards at the time and was only used as an outer veneer on drums. Drums made entirely of rosewood are extremely difficult to manufacture, but their pure sound and dark tone make them extremely popular with drummers looking for a new sound. Shortly after the original release of the Mastercraft Rosewood snare Drum, the TAMA brand became synonymous with Rosewood.

The Superstar badge underlines the fact that this snare belongs to the renowned Tama family and symbolizes the quality and tradition associated with this instrument. The roller action lift-off guarantees smooth and precise operation of the carbon steel long snare carpet, which ensures a sensitive response and a dynamic sound. The high-quality range is completed by a REMO® Ambassador Coated skin with Tama logo, which not only ensures excellent sound development but also rounds off the aesthetic appearance of the snare.
