This consignment snare came to us still in its factory-sealed box. Featuring a beautiful Satin Blue Metallic lacquer finish, it has inlays on both the inside and outside of the shells. The exterior inlay incorporates the Star winged logo badge while the interior inlays do not. The bubinga shell is a thin 4.5mm with a single vertical inner ply of Cordia plus a 9mm Sound Focus Ring. Much like the previous flagship lines for Tama, the Star series features the familiar die-cast hoops and the Linear Drive strainer system. The Star series also has a new cast lug with a bridged design for minimal shell contact. Tama put a lot of time and thought into the Star series where the player reaps all of the rewards.

African bubinga wood is approximately 53% harder than maple and birch. Acoustically speaking, bubinga provides very sharp and aggressive attack combined with unbelievably rich and fat lows. These drums are crafted with 9 plies of bubinga, and include Super Sensitive Snappy Wire snares that have been improved from their previous incarnation. The snare head can be removed without completely removing the snares with the MLS50B Detachable Butt Plate, and the Linear Drive Strainer has done away with the contact sound initiated by turning on the snares. Also included Hold Tight Washers that will not come loose from vibration.
