A slightly thicker 1.2mm brass shell and new Grooved Hoop gives this drum rich, warm resonance and sharp projection. This drum has an exceptionnally wide frequency and tuning range, allowing for great sonic variety simply by adjusting the tuning and snappy snares. With such versatility, this is a drum that will complement any musical style or playing situation. Tama Starphonic 14x6in Brass Snare Features: Brass Shell 14x6in 1.2mm Brass 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.
