Bill Platt is known for his long-held position as Principal Percussionist of the Cincinnati Symphony and Cincinnati Pops. He's performed in several tours across the US, Europe, and Asia, and has played on many recordings as a featured soloist. His signature snare drum uses a 3mm Bell Brass shell for a versatile, wide sonic range. In addition to the unique sound characteristics that bell brass offers, TAMA's Multi Snare Frame system provides incredible sensitivity and control through a wide adjustability and practical tuning range to give players full control over articulation, dynamics, and response.
