Tama Star Reserve Solid Japanese Cedar Snare Drum 14×6 Burnt Oiled Cedar

The 9th entry into the STAR Reserve series is 14″x6″ Solid Japanese Cedar. This snare drum features a traditional and unique Japanese woodworking technique, Uzukuri, that creates a three-dimensional texture and appearance. The 8mm solid Cedar shell is steam bent and fitted with matching steam bent Cedar Sound Focus Rings (reinforcement hoops) that are hand cut with old-world Japanese woodcraft artisans. The Cedar shell is outfitted with 8 Low Mass STAR Lugs, 2.3mm Customized Brass Mighty Hoops and Starclassic Bell Brass Snare Wires. This hardware works with the mellowness of the shell to pull out thick, rich tones with powerful attack and super dynamic sensitivity. The Uzukuri exterior shell is finished in natural oil, which highlights the intrinsic natural beauty of the Cedar wood grain. This drum is a work of art with distinctive sound like no other.
