The Tama Star Reserve Jatoba Stave snare drum has gorgeous understated looks with an expressive sound. Jatoba is an exotic wood from South America which is naturally hard and dense. At hardness of 60% more than maple, the physical properties of the Jatoba provide the foundation for a look and sound different from any other Tama snare drum. The Jatoba is precision-cut into 16 staves and then formed into a 10mm-thick shell. Vent holes are cut into the shell to open up the attack, greatly enriching the Jatoba's already powerful sound. Die-cast hoops and super sensitive hi-carbon snare wire add sensitivity and enhanced projection, while the Tama tube lugs allow for easy tuning.
The 5th model of STAR Reserve snare drum is made of Jatoba wood. This hard and dense wood is cut precisely into 16 stave pieces and then formed into a 10mm thick shell. In addition, 3 large vent holes are cut into the shell. These holes make the attack more open and projected, and are a great combination with Stave Jatoba’s powerful sound. Last but not least, the STAR series standard specs; Die-Cast hoops and Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snare Wire add sensitivity and enhance the projection.
