Anything but a one trick pony, the MP125ST's unique three-way snare strainer will provide you with additional sounds without the hassle of switching snare drums. Finally, the Tama Mike Portnoy MP125ST Signature Snare is rounded out with a hammered flat-black shell and a cool badge displaying an ambigram that reads "Mike Portnoy," even if you turn the drum upside down.

3-way tension adjustable strainer provides additional sounds

The Tama Mike Portnoy MP125ST Signature Snare features a 3-way tension adjustable snare strainer that offers additional sounds without the hassle of switching snare drums. More specifically, the strainer contains separate throw-offs in order to allow for multiple variations of snare tension. These variations allow you to "switch" between separate snare drums on the same drum. The strainer can lock into three different positions - off, loose, and tight.

Put decades of Tama know-how to work for you

With four decades of experience, Tama knows what drummers really want. Which is why, no matter how long you've been playing the drums, no matter what budget you have to work with, Tama has the drums and hardware you need, want, and can afford. Top drummers such as Mike Portnoy, Stewart Copeland, and Lars Ulrich play Tama drums - so you're in excellent company when you outfit your kit with Tama.

Tama Mike Portnoy MP125ST Signature Snare Features:
  • 5" x 12" size is ideal for pop and jazz
  • 1mm steel shell for a strong and bright sound
  • 6-hole chrome die-cast hoops keep it all together
  • 3-way tension adjustable strainer for additional sounds
You get three snares in one awesome drum with the Tama Mike Portnoy MP125ST Signature Snare!
