The Tama S.L.P. Mod Bubinga LBU127 is a 12" x 7" snare drum built to give a smaller diameter snare more depth, body, and flexibility. The 12" size naturally brings a quick, sharp response, while the deeper 7" shell adds weight and low-end that you don’t usually get from a compact snare. Made from 9-ply Bubinga, it delivers a rich, resonant tone with a solid crack — ideal as a main snare for modern styles or a distinctive side snare in any setup.

Why Choose the LBU127?
-
Wide tuning range: works for tight, snappy backbeats and also responds well at lower tunings.
-
Big sound from a compact drum: the 7" depth gives a fuller voice than most 12" snares.
-
Great for modern production styles: a strong option for hip-hop, trap, electronic, pop, and hybrid kits where a focused snare sound matters.
-
Distinctive “secondary snare” choice: adds a different pitch and texture alongside a standard 14" snare.
