Tama's Starclassic series is recognized as an essential reference in the world of professional drums. This limited edition snare drum is part of this line of excellence, offering exclusive construction and exceptional finish. It stands out thanks to the addition of an external Mappa Burl veneer, selected for its spectacular aesthetics, while maintaining the sound and mechanical standards that have made the Starclassic range so renowned. This model is designed for drummers who want an instrument with a strong personality that is as impressive visually as it is musically.
With a diameter of 14 inches and a depth of 6.5 inches, this snare drum is designed for experienced and professional drummers looking for a wide dynamic range. It is equally suited to live performances and studio work, where its precision and projection allow it to fit naturally into the mix. Its powerful and controlled response is ideal for rock, pop, fusion, funk, and modern music styles, while retaining sufficient finesse for more nuanced playing.
The 6 mm shell combines four plies of European birch, known for their crisp attack and clarity, with two internal plies of American black walnut, adding depth and warmth. The outer layer of Mappa Burl is not just for aesthetic purposes, it also contributes to the overall harmonic richness. The ten-bolt die-cast hoops reinforce the precision of the tuning and focus the attack, while the high-end snare and bell ensure optimal sensitivity, even at low dynamics.
