General

The Tama STAR Reserve Hand Hammered Brass Snare is, as the description suggests, a hand-hammered brass snare drum. The snare is 14 inches and 5.5 inches deep, clearly accentuating the natural sound of the brass shell and resulting in a crispy but warm sound. The brass shell is 1.5 mm thick and features 2.3 mm Customized Brass Mighty Hoops.

Tama STAR Reserve Hand Hammered Brass Snare

What makes this snare drum so unique? The shell is hand hammered by highly experienced Japanese metalworkers. The big advantage over machine-hammered snare drums is that each snare in this series has its own unique sound characteristics and excels in sustain and balance. In addition, the Customized Brass Mighty Hoops also add some goodness to the sound: they deliver a sharp and bright attack. The combination of the hand-hammered shell with these hoops, creates a recognisably warm, lively and bright sound with lots of attack.
