Tama MP1455BUN Mike Portnoy Ltd Ed 14x5.5 Snare

In the Fall of 2023, Mike Portnoy’s exciting return to Dream Theater ignited the entire music industry. For TAMA, this meant only one thing: a new Monster must be born. Taking inspiration from Mike’s original “Purple Monster” kit, TAMA created a truly unique & custom finish that was specially crafted through Mike’s artistic vision. A stunningly vibrant white paint flows down each shell, naturally blending into a beautifully rich purple sparkle. Every drum is expertly hand-painted & no two are the same. A dream color for a monster player, Mike Portnoy dubs his new kit the “Dream Monster”.

Fans can now experience part of this new Monster kit for themselves, with a Limited Edition release of the Mike Portnoy Signature Snare Drum, featuring the same finish as Mike’s one-of-a-kind “Dream Montster” kit. Following the same specs as Mike’s current signature snare model, the shell is made of 8mm, 9-ply Bubinga, paired with die-cast hoops and the 3-Way Tension Adjustable Strainer - allowing you to instantaneously switch between tight, loose, and off settings. This bold new snare designed with Mike Portnoy is guaranteed to make a monster statement.
