The 6x14 Starphonic Stainless Steel snare drum has a thin, 1 mm shell that is topped with a grooved hoop and Tama's Freedom Lugs, which allow you to change the snare head without ever loosening a tension rod! Tama's Resonant Sound Bearing Edge bearing gives the Tama-PSS146 a bright, open sound reminiscent of vintage metal snare drums from the 20's. Snare response is snappy and prominent thanks to Tama's Line Drive Snare Strainer and Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon snare wires.
