Turn your own drum set into a musical monster, with the Mike Portnoy Signature Melody Master snare drum from TAMA.

Unique, hand-painted finish

Mike’s “Dream Monster” kit features a finish inspired by his original “Purple Monster” drum set — one of the most famous drum kits of all time. So, when our drummers heard about a limited-edition matching snare drum, we were very eager to see the results. In typical TAMA fashion, the brand did not disappoint! Each snare drum was professionally painted by hand for subtle touches that ensure no two drums are exactly alike. Anchored by TAMA’s renowned die-cast hoops and Starclassic lugs, this drum might play like a beast, but it looks like a beauty.

Immediate sound-shaping options

The 3-way Tension Adjustable Strainer found on this Mike Portnoy Signature Melody Master snare drum lets you immediately adjust the tension of your snares to tight, loose, or off. This functionality, coupled with the deeply rich and revered sound of bubinga, yields a superbly versatile snare drum sound that works exceptionally well not only for prog or hard rock (of course) but also for a wide range of other contemporary genres, especially when paired with different tunings.

Mike Portnoy: one of music’s most celebrated drummers

Few drummers have made a mark on music as indelible as Mike Portnoy. His creative, intricate, and melodic approach to the drum set has inspired countless timekeepers across the world, and his 2023 return to Dream Theater sent seismic shockwaves throughout the music world, which are still being felt. Whether you take inspiration from its rich sound or its equally stunning hand-painted finish, the Mike Portnoy Signature Melody Master snare drum from TAMA will help you channel and unlock your own creative potential behind the kit.
