Tama Star Reserve Stave Ash 14x6.5 snaredrum, Amber Oiled Ash

Tama had a Dave Ash snare in the Star collection for several years. Now, this sophisticated snare drum is available in the Star Reserve collection with even more detailed luxury specifications. For example, this Star Reserve features 20 plies (instead of 16 in the Star), perfectly cut and assembled onto a 10 mm thick shell. This construction requires a lot of craftsmanship and specialty, which is exactly what Tama offers. Additionally, the depth is 6.5 inches instead of 6, as found in the Star, and the finish is beautifully done with a slightly darker, vintage-looking amber oil finish. Time and again, we are amazed by the sound that comes from this snare. It has a fantastic tone with unparalleled sensitivity, making it suitable for both studio use with multiple users and live performances. Key features include: 14x6.5, 10 mm thick stave oak shell (plies), sound arc hoop, Tama linear drive strainer and butt, and super-sensitive hi-carbon snare wire.
