Simon Phillips on his new Signature Palette Snare Drum.
Says the master himself of his new Tama Signature Palette
snare drum: “The Monarch has a very quick response, with a
ring, but a ring that is instant–that is, it comes when you hit the
drum as opposed to a ring that continues after you hit the drum.
A lot of that has to do with its special modified triple-flanged
hoop and ‘stick-chopper’ concept. The Monarch is a lot more
specialized than my other signature snare drums, with a more
complex sound. I’ve been using it live now since the beginning
of 2006, recorded with it a few times and it’s been fantastic.”
The Monarch’s hybrid maple/bubinga shell joins two great tonewoods in an
invincible combination of rich, regal tones and a commanding power previously
unattainable in any other snare drum.
