Tama Starphonic Spruce Snare Drum — Premium 14x6 Wood Snare with Articulate Attack

The Tama Starphonic Spruce snare combines the tonal warmth of tone-grade spruce with professional-grade hardware for a drum that delivers cutting articulation and rich mid-high projection. Built with an 8mm, 9-ply spruce shell and accentuated by an elegant center inlay, this 14x6 snare produces the clarity and sensitivity serious drummers demand without sacrificing musicality or control.

Tama's engineering ensures every element works in concert—from the Grooved Hoops that lock tuning stability to the Freedom Lugs and Claw Hooks that make head changes and maintenance straightforward. The Super-Sensitive snare wire paired with the Linear-Drive strainer gives you the responsiveness and dynamic range needed for everything from jazz articulation to studio precision.
