This is awesome vintage Artwood Snare from the golden Era of Tama Drums. 

These drums have become sought after for their versatility and power. Birch shell coated inside and out from the factory in a beautiful piano black finish. It goes with everything!

Sound wise, this thing has a ton of power and a wide tuning range for any genre but especially kills for rock.

This one features the freedom lugs, the heavy duty throw off and roller and triple flanged mighty hoops.
These drums have a cult following with studio guys for a reason. Just a killer snare with an old school attention to detail in the construction. Beautiful finish that's aged great. 8-ply Birch.
