TAMA Liberty Bell Brass Snare Drum - 14 x 6 in.

Created to honor the United States Semiquincentennial, the Liberty Bell brass snare drum is a limited-edition 14x6" snare built around one of TAMA’s most powerful shell designs. Its approx. 3 mm cast bell brass shell delivers high output and projection, pairing a full-bodied low end with a cutting attack that stays defined across a wide dynamic range. Die-cast hoops, MTL160 tube lugs and chrome hardware give the drum a stable, professional build, while the Linear-Drive strainer and 20-strand Super Sensitive hi-carbon snare wires support clean articulation and responsive snare control. Built as a tribute to a defining moment in American history, this limited-edition bell brass snare delivers the authority, sensitivity and tonal weight required for demanding stage and studio work.

Cast Bell Brass Shell With Explosive Projection

The approx. 3 mm cast bell brass shell gives this snare its commanding voice. Bell brass is known for its density and mass, and here it translates into high output, strong projection and a full-bodied tone with substantial low-end weight. The shell responds with a cutting attack that helps backbeats push through dense arrangements while retaining enough depth to avoid sounding thin or brittle. For players who want a snare that can deliver serious volume without losing definition, this cast-shell design provides the power and focus expected from a premium bell brass drum.

Wide Dynamic Range With Controlled Articulation

Beyond raw output, the Liberty Bell snare is designed to respond across a broad dynamic range. Lighter strokes stay clear and controlled, giving ghost notes and quieter passages enough definition to sit naturally in a groove. When played harder, the drum opens up with a sharp, authoritative crack and a strong body behind the note. That responsiveness gives drummers room to move between subtle articulation and high-impact accents without changing instruments, making the drum versatile enough for studio detail, live projection and expressive dynamic playing.

Professional Hardware for Stable Snare Response

Die-cast 10-hole hoops and 10 MTL160 tube lugs support tuning stability while helping the Liberty Bell snare maintain a focused response under heavier playing. The MLS50A Linear-Drive strainer provides smooth snare engagement, paired with an MLS50B butt plate and 20-strand Super Sensitive hi-carbon snare wires for crisp articulation and detailed response. Finished with chrome hardware and built without onboard tone control, the drum keeps its design direct and performance-focused. Reflecting its Liberty Bell-inspired heritage while delivering modern precision, the TAMA Liberty Bell brass snare drum delivers a commanding, unmistakable voice that cuts through any mix.
