NEW KENNY ARONOFF "TRACKMASTER" SIGNATURE SNARE
TAMA Adds Third Model by Renowned Session and Performing Artist

 INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Kenny Aronoff, the artist described as "the hardest working drummer in show business,"will personally debut his third Signature Palette Snare drum at 12:30, Friday, July 22 at the Summer NAMM show in Indianapolis. The model's 6 1/2 x 14" shell makes it the largest of the three of TAMA's three Kenny Aronoff Signature Palette. As with the two previous models, the KA1465 "Trackmaster" 6 1/2" x 14 snare drum features a 1.5mm engraved nickel-plated brass shell fitted with nickel-plated brass Mighty Hoops. The list price is $729.99.

Commented Kenny Aronoff on his new signature model: "Out of the over 100 snare drums I own both vintage and new producers and engineers like my three Trackmasters best. I think that says it all. Except that my new 6 1/2", I call my "John Bonham snare drum."

TAMA drum specialist Terry Bissette added, "The KA1465 has all the features of the originals, plus a "bigger than life" unique sonic character that only a 6-1/2 can deliver. It has even more body and presence combined with broader frequency range and response. This drum is soft and subtle when it needs to be, but can virtually explode with sound when played hard. It's a winner for all musical applications."

Background
TAMA created the Signature Palette Series of snare drums in 1999. The Signature Palette Series includes snare drums co-designed by Kenny Aronoff, Bill Bruford, Stewart Copeland, Simon Phillips, Mike Portnoy, and Lars Ulrich.
