TAMA PMM146-STM 6x14inch Starphonic Snare Drum, Satin Mappa Burl

The combination of Maple's open, resonant sound with the Grooved Hoop and super sensitive Hi-Carbon Snappy gives this drum a rich, open, crisp sound reminiscent of prized vintage snares.

• By loosening the tension rods, you can tilt the claw hooks backwards and away from the Grooved Hoop. This quick release system offers simple, speedy replacement of drum heads without having to take all of the tension rods out of the lugs.
• STARPHONIC's claw hooks have a rubber block inside to prevent the tension bolts from loosening during playing.
• The new "Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snappy Snare" fits more closely to the snare side head, demonstrating greater sensitivity and brighter, crisper sound.
• To prevent the snappy snares from loosening, TAMA incorporated a ratchet system on the strainer's tension adjustment mechanism. Much like an adjustment tool with fine gears, it achieves high-pressure re-tension, even with extreme settings.
• The Detachable Strainer Butt allows you to change your snare side head, but keeps the snare wire tension in its original state.
• STARPHONIC's strainer uses a "Linear-Drive" system, which we designed to provide greater control of the lever adjustment arm and more precise control of the strainer's deployment motion.
