The Stewart Copeland snare drum, a Tama signature model, is a faithful reproduction of the snare drum of mysterious provenance that he used with the Police and everything else from that time period. A brass shell that's 0.5mm thicker than the standard 1mm shell and the combination of a die-cast batter hoop with a triple flanged bottom hoop provides sounds that easily penetrate what Copeland describes as the dirge from the bass and the ear-piecing sounds of a guitar.
