The S.L.P. Mod Bubinga is a 12" snare drum that combines a bright, edgy sound with a fat resonance.
In addition to the bright, sharp sound projection and delicate detail that are characteristic of a small diameter, its unique sound combines a wide range of tones and a fat resonance not previously available in 12-inch snares. The key to this is the combination of its unique 12"x7" size, bubinga shells, and inward-bent Sound Arc hoops.
While retaining the pronounced high-frequency response that is associated with the 12" diameter, the bubinga shells, which are characterized by their rich mid- and low-range sounds, are set to a depth of 7" to achieve the fat resonance of a shell that is often lost in smaller diameters. The hoops feature a Sound Arc design that helps to unify the onset of the sound, giving it a clearer definition. This creates a distinct attack on rim shots and a more pronounced sound. Even with detailed phrases like single notes, you can get a solid sound image without the individual notes becoming scattered.
The wide tuning range allows you to get a wide range of sounds from high to low frequencies by tuning it accordingly, while maintaining the natural sound of an acoustic drum. Even when tuned to a low pitch, the tension of the striking head does not become too loose, so even with detailed notes, the sound particles are not buried, resulting in a cohesive, fat sound.
In addition to the bright, sharp sound projection and delicate detail that only a 12-inch drum can provide, it also offers a wide range of sound and a fat sound not previously available with a 12-inch drum. The combination of these two features creates a sound that is perfect for a variety of genres, from jazz to hip-hop and electronic music. This is a new choice for players who continue to explore new musical possibilities, incorporating elements from various musical genres, including classical and classical music. Its small size and infinite expressive potential will stimulate the player's sensibilities and open up new possibilities for expression.
