For whatever reason, Tama’s $2,599 bell brass Praetorian did not join the fray. Ultimately, the maple, African bubinga, and steel shell Warlords – each of which list for $899 – invaded my home. With that probably in mind, Tama gave each snare its own military-style moniker: (1) the maple Valkyrie, an old Norse name for maidens who sent heroes to be slain in battle (2) the African bubinga Masai, a name attributed to hunters in Africa (3) the stainless steel Spartan, a Greek name for persons of great courage and self-discipline and (4) the bell brass Praetorian, a name for members of the Roman imperial bodyguard. And as it turns out, a warlord is generally understood to be a military commander that uses force to rule a limited area. Well, not really, but I did think that I should probably look up the word warlord to be absolutely sure what it means. When I first learned I would be critiquing the Warlords, I feared for my life. Delivering a deathblow to average, run-of-the-mill drums everywhere, Tama recently unleashed a new series of snares named the Warlord Collection.
