For your supreme pleasure and consideration is this brand new Tama Mastercraft BB156 Bell Brass 6.5x14 snare drum. The beautiful snare you see in the photos is the one you will receive. It was only taken out of the box for pictures and then packed safely inside the original box again. Faithfully recreated to original specifications as much as modern technology allows, the Mastercraft "The Bell Brass" snare drum 50th Anniversary Reissue brings the iconic & timeless sound to drummers once again. The drum fondly referred to as The Terminator can now be yours at a fraction of the price that the highly sought after original collectable has climbed to. Enjoy!

In 1980, the Mastercraft Bell Brass snare drum was born. Designed to match the explosive sounds of a new decade in music, the Bell Brass shell delivered the purest snare sound ever achieved. With the original shell sand-cast in the same manner of top quality cymbals and, of course, bells, the shell began as a 12mm cast that was hand-turned down to 3mm thick. Burnished to a natural brass patina for a tone that grew sweeter, warmer, and richer with every passing year, it's no wonder the Mastercraft Bell Brass snare drum became the most coveted snare drum of the last 50 years.
Widely used in heavy rock music of the 80s and 90s, TAMA's Bell Brass snare drum came to simply be known as "THE TERMINATOR". As aggressive of a sound it produced, its versatility was unmatched as it found its way into the hands of the world's top jazz & fusion drummers of the era.
