TAMA has developed a snare that can compete with the most dynamic players in the world. It's called the Star Reserve Solid Maple, and whether you're a brush balladeer or a funk rock fan, this snare can hang with you no matter how you play. Money was not an issue for TAMA. Just the pursuit of a world class snare drum. The solid, one-piece maple shell represents TAMA's finest Japanese craftsmanship, which sounds positively vibrant. Ghost notes come across loud and clear. And thanks to a pair of brass Sound Arc Hoops, this TAMA Star Reserve unleashes a bark at higher volumes that puts some steel snare drums to shame. A hand-rubbed oil finish brings out the natural beauty of the selected maple, and a set of retro-star lugs give this snare a look that takes center stage Clamping lugs STAR Tube.
