2009 Tama Melody Mike Portnoy Signature Samples

Designed by Mike Portnoy ...

Named after Mike’s daughter, this incredible sounding snare features a hand-hammered steel shell, die cast hoops, and a unique three- way snare strainer that offers additional sounds without the hassle of switching snare drums. The 12” size gives it that very tight, yet projected sound. Great secondary snare sound for any kit.
