Description

First came everything else. And drummers were happy with ‘everything else’ because they hadn’t heard TAMA’s Starphonic range. Now that they had ‘everything else’ won’t cut it because simple nothing else sounds as good as this!

The TAMA Starphonic range of snares are for drummers who mean business! This 6 ply Maple shell produces the defined snap, crack and pop that begs to be recorded and sounds like a million dollars. If you want people to sit up and take notice then the Starphonic Maple is what you need. If you don’t want people to think you sound incredible? Well there are other snare drums that will do…

Here’s what what TAMA say about the Staphonic Bubinga Snare PBC146

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.

Drums

Drums is the main JustDrums category for core acoustic and electronic instruments, including kits, shell packs, snare drums, bass drums, toms and electronic drum kits. Compare the complete configuration, sizes, shell or pad construction, heads, hardware, module, triggers and connections according to the product type. A shell pack may need cymbals, stands, pedals and a throne, while an electronic kit may need a monitor or headphones. Use the specific child category and product specification to confirm what is included before comparing prices or sound.

Snare Drums

Snare drums provide the sharp backbeat and articulate ghost-note response at the centre of many drum kits. Compare diameter and depth, shell material, hoops, heads, snare wires, strainer, throw-off, butt plate and tuning range. Metal, wood and hybrid shells can produce different combinations of attack, body, sensitivity and projection, while depth affects the balance between response and weight. Check whether the listing includes a case, stand or replacement parts. The best choice depends on the drummer’s tuning, touch, music and the rest of the kit.
