Tama snare Signature series /(Stewart Copeland SC145)

TAMA SC145 

Designed to sonically replicate the sound of Stewart Copeland’s snare used on all those Police hits.
The SC145 Stewart Copeland snare drum, a Tama signature model, is a faithful reproduction of the snare drum of “mysterious provenance” that Stewart used with the Police and everything else from that time period. This Copeland snare sound easily penetrates what he describes as “the dirge from the bass and the ear-piecing sounds of a guitar.” That penetrating sound is the result of combining a die-cast batter hoop and a triple-flanged bottom hoop with a brass shell that is 0.5mm thicker than the standard 1mm shell.

In trying to replicate Stewart Copeland’s snare drum on which he recorded all those Police hits, Tama measured the diameter and all of the specs until it came down to metallurgy–the mixture of metals. After many prototypes, Tama matched the sound of Copeland’s original and set up production to duplicate it consistently.
