The TAMA LMP1465F-SEN SLP Studio Maple Snare Drum is part of the Sound Lab Project (S.L.P.) series, a lineup developed to deliver distinctive snare sounds for different musical applications. Designed as a versatile studio-quality instrument, this model provides a balanced combination of warmth, resonance, and crisp attack. The drum’s 14" × 6.5" size offers strong projection and dynamic response, making it suitable for recording sessions, rehearsals, and live performances.
At its core is a 6-ply, 5 mm all-maple shell, a tonewood widely favored for its bright attack, warm resonance, and controlled sustain. The shell also features Sound Focus Rings, which reinforce the structure and enhance clarity and projection. Combined with 100% maple wood hoops, the drum produces a warm, open tone with excellent articulation and a natural, musical response across a wide tuning range.
Professional hardware completes the design, including Starclassic lugs, maple hoops with durable urethane coating, and a Linear-Drive strainer system for smooth snare operation. The drum is fitted with 20-strand Starclassic carbon-steel snare wires, providing sensitive response and a wide dynamic range from subtle ghost notes to powerful backbeats. Its combination of tone, sensitivity, and stylish Sienna finish makes the Studio Maple a reliable and expressive snare for many genres.
