Ding ding 🛎️ a late Santa surprise. We’ve just added a TAMA Imperialstar King Beat snare to our collection. Built in Japan in 1978, chrome over steel, this is the very snare that defined the sound of Stewart Copeland’s first two Police albums, Outlandos d’Amour and Reggatta de Blanc, with tracks like “Roxanne” , “Message in a Bottle” , “So Lonely”, and “Walking on the Moon”. Sharp, aggressive, unmistakable, this drum is pure new-wave DNA. Having this piece of recording history alive in our studio is honestly epic.
