Tama Star Maple Snare Drum 14x6.5 Piano Black

Tama STAR Maple Snare Drum – 14" x 6.5", Piano Black

Part of Tama’s flagship STAR series, this 14" x 6.5" snare pairs the open, warm character of maple with the depth and body associated with solid-ply shells. Its thin, 5-ply, 5mm maple construction features a 2mm solid maple core between cross-laminated plies, with 5mm Sound Focus Rings for a distinctive blend of resonance and substance.

A rounded bearing-edge peak helps transfer head vibration to the shell, while the oil-finished maple interior adds a refined touch. Dense die-cast zinc hoops support a crisp, focused response and stable tuning; Hold Tight washers help resist tension-rod loosening. Finished in Piano Black, this STAR Maple snare is designed for players seeking detailed maple tone with a full-bodied voice.
