Kenny Aronoff personally debuted his third Signature Palette Snare drum 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.
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."
