Tama TWS1465-WSBN Star Walnut Snare Satin (Black Walnut,14 x 6.5)

General

Drummers who own a STAR Walnut shell set would do well to pick up one of these Tama STAR Walnut 14 x 6.5-inch snare drums in Satin Black Walnut.

Tama STAR Walnut 14 x 6.5 inch Snare Drum

When it comes to sound, walnut has a very distinct character, as this snare drum will prove. It sounds dark and focused, making it the perfect addition to a STAR Walnut shell set. This 14 x 6.5-inch snare drum offers the ideal balance between highs and lows, and between attack and sustain, thanks to its die-cast hoops. These hoops enhance the shell's focus even further and ensure that your rimshots and clicks pierce through any mix. If you tune this snare drum nice and low, it produces a fat slap, and if you crank it up it has a beautifully dry crack.

Subdued character

As Tama used walnut in creating this snare drum, it is quite lightweight, which is a real boon to touring drummers. Furthermore, walnut gives the drum a very distinct sound. Its reach is comparable to that of maple and bubinga drums, but just a bit more subdued. In other words, it sounds nice and vintage. Do you already own a STAR Walnut shell set, but are you still looking for a snare drum? Then this Tama TWS1465 is a definite must-have!

• Please note: the image shows the 14 x 5.5-inch edition, but a 14 x- 6.5-inch Satin Black Walnut snare will be supplied.
