TAMA PSS146 6x14inch Starphonic Stainless Steel Snare Drum

This model features 1mm thick stainless steel which has solid and rich resonance. And also its R.S.E. (Resonant Sound Edge) provides an open sound and brightness reminiscent of the vintage metal snare drums of the 20's.

Features:

• 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. Once the tension bolt is tightened, the claw hook is pressed towards the hoop. This also presses the rubber block inside the claw hook and adds pressure to the tension rod inside.
• In order to provide a more crisp and sensitive sound, TAMA redesigned the snappy snare, using new materials and customizing the shape of the plate and the wire coil's winding pattern. As a result of these modifications, 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 is designed to provide greater control of the lever adjustment arm and more precise control of the strainer's deployment motion.
