The newest snare in his collection offers more than just a cosmetic upgrade: this was a suitable time to introduce something new to the mix, and Tama sent us a new, fourteen-inch steel shell snare while updating the cosmetics on the other snares in Portnoy’s signature collection. But now that he’s no longer a member of Dream Theater, it hardly made sense for Portnoy’s signature snares to bear his former band’s logo.


His work with Dream Theater, Neal Morse, Transatlantic, and Adrenalin Mob (to name but a few) sets a high bar for any drummer. Mike Portnoy needs no introduction as one of the world’s greatest technical drummers.
