Tama's first foray into "TotalWood" snares--snare drums with wood hoops as well as shells--met with such success at the 2003 Summer NAMM show they debuted another Limited Edition TotalWood snare at the Winter 2004 show. "Our walnut and oak all-wood snares were really well received," commented Jon Romanowski, Tama's U.S. National Sales Manager. "This time we're going for a somewhat more standard wood, maple, with the very cool addition of a rare Bird's Eye Maple outer ply.
