General
This is a 14 x 5.5-inch snare drum from Tama's Starclassic Maple series with a beautiful Champagne Sparkle finish and chrome-plated hardware. The 7mm-thick shell is made of eight plies of maple, as that has excellent tonal properties and resonance while offering a bright sound with excellent attack. Besides offering a great balance between mids and highs, it emphasises the low-end.
Tama MAS1455-CHS Starclassic Maple Champagne Sparkle 14 x 5.5-inch snare drum
With its 14-inch diameter and 5.5-inch depth, this snare drum is well-suited for all-round drummers. The die-cast hoops allow for a balanced, warm sound and ensure that your drum stays in tune for a long time. To help your drums stay in tune, the tension rods are fitted with Hold Tight cup-washers, which are fitted with rubber rings to prevent them from coming loose. The new Snappy Snares consist of 20 strands, and make better contact with the resonant head for a tighter and clearer sound. Furthermore, you can easily replace the resonant head without having to completely remove your snare wires. Simply undo two screws and detach one end of the Snappy Snares, allowing you to reattach them with the same tension settings as before. Finally, all hardware on this shell set has been chrome-plated.
Tips or comments about this product
- The pictured snare drum has an Antique Maple finish. A Champagne Sparkle snare drum with chrome hardware will be supplied, however. An example of this colour can be found in the last image, which shows a matching shell kit. Please note that only the snare drum will be delivered.
