The Tama PWN146 Starphonic Snare Drum is a snare drum with 1mm steel shell, chrome hardware and a 14” head. A symphony of sound springs to life from each Starphonic drum as a result of its own unique naturally resonant shell material, Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snappy Snare wires, and a specially designed Grooved Hoop.
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, Tama 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.
The main features of The Tama PWN146 Starphonic Snare Drum include:
The Tama Starphonic Snare in Natural Walnut produces a wonderful tone. With a bubinga snare you get the attack but can loose the darker lower tones. This snare you get both. It is versatile and beautifully made. My only concern if you are looking for a TAMA kit to get with it then you are going to be unlucky as there is no standard Walnut kit.
I wonderful and well made snare that will last you all your drumming life.
