The Tama Starphonic Walnut Snare Drum has a 6mm Black Walnut shell that provides optimal resonance and sustance. This drum also features the quick release freedom lug, claw hook, and grooved hoop for rapid drumhead changes and enhanced tone. The linear drive strainer with calibrated ratchet style tension adjustment knob makes precision tuning simple. The Tama Starphonic Walnut snare includes super sensitive hi-carbon snappy snares and a detachable butt plate for quick snare and head changes. The Starphonic Walnut Snare Drum features a walnut burl outer ply, with a dark natural gloss finish. This enhances the natural grain of the shell and provides an aesthetic as beautiful as its sound.
Solid sound; full projection; rich, resonant tone; tight, crisp snare response…these were the objectives Tama strived for in creating Starphonic drums. In order to achieve this, they developed a concept that incorporates entirely new hoop, lug, and strainer designs, combined with a variety of uniquely constructed drum shells. STARPHONIC snare drums are the result of three years of detailed research and precise testing.
This STARPHONIC snare drum features a thin 6mm/7ply Walnut shell characterized by its uniquely warm sound and mid-low tone. The Grooved Hoop provides controlled overtones and a slightly mellow attack. The Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snare Wires enhance the luxurious and fat sound of the Walnut shell. Finished with a Walnut Burl outer ply in a dark natural finish, this snare looks just as gorgeous as it sounds.
