The Tama Starphonic line of snare drums maintains the legendary strength, durability and quality you expect from "The Strongest Name in Drums", but with current features and aesthetics that the modern working drummer expects from their snare. The 6x14 Starphonic Bubinga snare drum has a thinner 9-ply shell than standard Starclassic Bubinga drums, that's veneered in gorgeous matte Cordia. The Tama-PBC146MNC projects huge, rich, low end tone and full resonance. It's fit with a grooved hoop and Tama's Freedom Lugs, which allow you to change the snare head without ever loosening a tension rod! Snare response is snappy and prominent thanks to Tama's Line Drive Snare Strainer and Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon snare wires. The Tama-PBC146MNC is truly a functional work of art.
