NAMM 2026 Tama

Limited edition snares, new finishes and the return of Spartan hardware!

This STAR Reserve is a limited-edition model featuring an extra thick Mahogany shell.
Crafted from 9mm/11ply G-Mahogany, this shell produces warm, full body tone and is enhanced by the deep and rich sound unique to a thicker shell construction.
To preserve the Mahogany's open and resonant sound, 2.3mm flanged steel hoops are used, drawing out a long, open sustain.
The snare drum visually stands out with its refined aesthetic that features an outer ply of Tineo, a wood known for its natural reddish brown tone and lush vertical grain.

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.

The heavy weight of the stand pressing on your shoulder as you carry your gear.
The frustration when adjustments don't go the way you want.
The subtle fatigue that sets in before you've even played a single note.
These are minor discomforts that almost every drummer experiences, but often go unspoken and unrecognized.
Yet over time, they quietly take away a drummer's focus and ability to expressive themselves. Ultimately hindering the quality of their performance.
TAMA created the Spartan series with the goal of eliminating these silent obstacles, so drummers can fully unlock their creative potential.
In developing Spartan stands, our pursuit extended far beyond simply reducing the weight.
Equipped with innovative features such as the Anti-Walk Rubber Feet to prevent movement during a performance, and the Duo-Lock Boom Tilter that allows for simultaneous adjustment of the boom angle and length, Spartan stands are designed to offer not only lightness, but also a fast, intuitive setup with rock-solid stability.
To enhance playability, we combined TAMA's specific mechanical innovations into a design that achieves an ideal weight—light enough to reduce physical strain, yet strong enough to meet professional demands.
The result is a perfect balance of form and function: a stand that feels just right for every drummer.
Spartan's true potential cannot be fully captured in a basic list of specs – it must be experienced. For those who simply touch a Spartan will immediately know its undeniable originality. The Spartan stands respond to drummer's needs and is reliable in demanding environments, so drummers can focus on the music.
What do drummers truly seek in a stand?
By listening to the unspoken voice in the hearts of drummers everywhere, Spartan is the answer and a new standard in the future of drumming by TAMA.
