Tama Starphonic 14x6in Aluminium Snare Features: Aluminium Shell 14x6in 1.2mm Seamless Aluminum Lug: Freedom Lug Hoop: Grooved Hoop (10lug) Strainer: Linear-Drive Butt:Detachable Butt Snappy: MS20RL14C Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snappy Snare About Starphonic: Solid sound; full projection; rich, resonant tone; tight, crisp snare response…these were the objectives we strived for in creating Starphonic drums. In order to achieve this, we 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. 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 Snare Wire wires, and a specially designed Grooved Hoop.
