355mm diameter, 3mm Cast Bell Brass Shell
Utilizing a unique metal alloy predominantly comprised of copper & tin, the mixture is poured into a mold to form a 3mm thick shell. TAMA’s Bell Brass delivers an explosive, yet extremely versatile sound, making it desirable for drummers of every genre. A significant, but little known fact of the original Mastercraft Bell Brass is the shell’s exact 14″ (355mm) diameter. As modern shells are usually 2mm smaller in diameter (to accommodate different drumhead manufacturers) the Bell Brass’ extra size contributes to its magnificent and massive tone.
Finished with a special look reminiscent of the original model, the Mastercraft “The Bell Brass” 50th Anniversary Reissue truly delivers as a faithful reproduction of a timeless snare drum.
