Specialty Drums Create Signature Sounds Behind the Kit

Drummers are always on the lookout for new percussive sounds, and the world of specialty drums is a great place to discover fresh sonic textures.

Specialty drums include gong drums, pancake drums, and special effects snares. Each of these instruments has something unique to offer, whether in the high, mid, or low registers. Many drummers at Sweetwater use specialty drums to add distinctive tones to their drum kit and auxiliary percussion setups.

Snap, Boom, and Bap with TAMA Effect Series Specialty Snares

One of the specialty drums we’re proud to carry is the TAMA Effect Series snare. This ultra-thin snare features a 1.0-millimeter steel shell that produces a sharp tone balanced with a robust snap and short sustain, thanks to its specialized snare wire configuration.

This effect snare leaps to the front of the mix and dissolves instantly, keeping its percussive punch clear without cluttering your overall sound. The TAMA Effect Series also comes with an MC69 single-tom attachment, so no additional stand is needed. A set of triple-flanged hoops and TAMA’s Mod-Tone system make it easy to tweak the snare’s tone to your preference. The TAMA Effect Series snare comes in several sizes, each offering a slightly different sonic texture.

Unleash Shockwave Bass Drops and Monster Tom Rolls with the SJC UFO Drum

For some thunder and shake, the SJC UFO pancake gong drum makes a powerful addition to any drum kit. Its shallow, handcrafted maple shell delivers a thick low‑end punch with a quick decay, letting each attack cut through the mix without lingering. The UFO includes an integrated mounting bracket that secures to any standard 10.5mm L‑rod, making it easy to integrate into your kit. With its lustrous chrome hardware and sleek satin finish, this versatile drum adds major depth and punch to fills, accents, and patterns.
