January 13, 1998Piccolo snare drums continue to increase in popularity both as a main snare or a subsnare addition to
the basic kit. With their new PST1233 (3 1/4" x 12") and PST1255 (5 1/2" x 12") piccolo snare drum
listing for a paltry $179.99, Tama now has one of the widest ranges of piccolos available--both in
numbers of models and different prices. On the other end of the scale, Tama continues to offer its
famous (or infamously loud) Bell Brass PL5325 (3 1/4" x 14") piccolo which, at $1299.99, costs as much
as many full sets of drums.
Right in the middle is Tama's bronze piccolo, one of the new favorites of many drummers. "Bronze has a
very pleasing tone all it's own--between wood and metal-which gives a good balance for a piccolo,"
commented Bill Reim, Tama's Art and Advertising manager, and a drummer himself. "We've had a lot of
drummers tells us that our bronze snare drums, both piccolos and regular sizes are now their favorite
snares." For more information, visit their web site at www.tama.com. |
