Tama Starclassic G Maple Snare: Kenny Ortiz Likes 'Em Thick

November 03, 2008
Tama Starclassic G Maple Snare

The new breed of snare drums is flimsy, resonant and all too influenced by the models on magazine covers these days. Kenny Ortiz of Flobots prefers something with a little more body to it, which is why he chooses the confirmedly 13-ply Tama Starclassic G Maple as his go-to snare.

After all, if Kenny is anything like his unconfirmed brother Tito Ortiz, he'd smash right through a flimsier snare like its one of Ken Shamrock's bones.
