Tama Star 14 X 6 Walnut Stave Snare Drum
IN STOCK
Order before 3pm Mon-Thu for Next Day Delivery
Tama's stave shell snare drums are constructed using 16 staves of wood that are precisely cut, then bonded together to form a tightly formed 10mm thick shell. The shell fusing process is combined with die-cast hoops to produce a shell that is dense and powerful with a sound that jumps with attack and clarity. The walnut shell is characterized by a richer, warmer timbre but still with a punchy attack.

Breath
Star snare drums have 3 air holes around the shell, instead of just 1 like on the tom-toms, floor toms, and bass drums. These extra air holes lend a brighter, dryer sound to the snare drums and result in even projection in all directions.
Improved Strainer
The "Linear-Drive" strainer is designed for greater control of the lever adjustment arm and more precise control of the strainer's deployment motion. The strainer movement works in a true linear motion. Even if the strainer is engaged rapidly, you will not hear the typical "slap" of the snare wires hitting the bottom drumhead.
To prevent the snare wires from loosening, this strainer also has a ratchet system on its tension adjustment mechanism. Single click adjustments offer a vertical pull of 0.083mm in wire motion, which allows for ultra-sensitive micro adjustments.
Star snare drum lugs were designed with a clean look and bridge construction for minimum shell contact. They are just one piece to reduce the overall weight of the drum. In addition, both 13" and 14" diameter snare drums have just 8 lugs, instead of 10. This reduces the weight of the snare drum even further and offers a more open, resonant tone, as well as being very easy to tune.
Get to Bed
The shape of the snare beds is an important factor in any snare drum's sound. In particular, the sustain and sensitivity of the snare wires are heavily affected by the shape of the snare beds.
Star snare drums employ a different snare bed than Tama's traditional shape. The goal was to create snare drums that have the same rich resonance as the rest of the Star drums, but that is also very crisp and articulate. To achieve this, Star snare drums have a flat bottom that provides even and consistent contact with each snare coil.
