In the Fall of 2023, Mike Portnoy’s exciting return to Dream Theater ignited the entire music industry. For TAMA, this meant only one thing: a new Monster must be born. Taking inspiration from Mike’s original “Purple Monster” kit, TAMA created a truly unique & custom finish that was specially crafted through Mike’s artistic vision. A stunningly vibrant white paint flows down each shell, naturally blending into a beautifully rich purple sparkle. Every drum is expertly hand-painted & no two are the same. A dream color for a monster player, Mike Portnoy dubs his new kit the “Dream Monster”.
Fans can now experience part of this new Monster kit for themselves, with a Limited Edition release of the Mike Portnoy Signature Snare Drum, featuring the same finish as Mike’s one-of-a-kind “Dream Montster” kit. Following the same specs as Mike’s current signature snare model, the shell is made of 8mm, 9-ply Bubinga, paired with die-cast hoops and the 3-Way Tension Adjustable Strainer - allowing you to instantaneously switch between tight, loose, and off settings. This bold new snare designed with Mike Portnoy is guaranteed to make a monster statement.
