The shell features slight modifications to increase the strength of the aluminum, as well. The snare also features a newly-developed Mod-Tone Muffler, a togglable mute that also features a pressure dial for a wide range of possible sounds. Anika described the process of developing the snare in a video produced by TAMA, citing a full day testing over 50 different snares to identify traits to combine into the ideal signature instrument.
