The TAMA Star Bubinga snare represents the best of TAMA's fine Japanese craftsmanship with new advancements in resonance and finishing. Five inner plies of ultra-dense bubinga wood with high-contact bearing edges and 9mm Sound Focus Rings give this snare a fat, focused tone with a quick attack and relatively dry ring - which is perfect for close-miking onstage or in the studio. TAMA's noiseless Linear-Drive strainer holds the redesigned Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snappy Snare wires tight against the bottom head for good sensitivity at all dynamics. And the Star Bubinga snare's luxurious lacquered bosse (African cherry) veneer features a highly figured wood grain that you'll be proud to make the centerpiece of your kit.TAMA Star Bubinga Snare Drum at a Glance:
One of the finest production snares available
Modern shell technology meets old-world craftsmanship
Die-cast hoops are sensitive and stable
Remo heads provide great tones out of the box
One of the finest production snares available
Numerous innovations have gone into making the TAMA Star Bubinga one of the best production snares on the market. New flat snare beds give the snare coils more consistent contact with the bottom head for a crisper tone. One-piece lugs, reduced in number from 10 to 8, minimize weight on the drum for added resonance. And three air holes positioned around the shell give the TAMA Star Bubinga snare a nice, dry crack and 360-degree projection. Sweetwater drummers were especially blown away by TAMA's Linear-Drive strainer, which is effectively noiseless when throwing snare wires on and off.Modern shell technology meets old-world craftsmanship
At just 4.5mm, TAMA Star Bubinga shells are much thinner than their Starclassic Bubinga series. This lets the dense bubinga wood vibrate naturally for power, depth, and dynamics. The TAMA Star Bubinga snare drum features a 9mm Sound Focus Ring to tighten up the sound and dry out unwanted overtones.Die-cast hoops are sensitive and stable
TAMA's world-class craftsmanship didn't stop at its shells. Engraved zinc die-cast hoops give the Star Bubinga snare a crisp attack and focused tone. Die-cast hoops are generally considered easier to tune and stay truer than triple-flanged hoops, and in the case of the Star Bubinga snare, they give strong rim knocks and rimshots. On top of that, TAMA's cup-shaped Hold Tight washers with rubber rings do a great job of keeping tension screws from loosening through heavy playing.Remo heads provide great tones out of the box
For great tones out of the box, the TAMA Star Bubinga snare comes fitted with Remo drumheads: a Coated Ambassador on top, and an Ambassador Snare Side on the bottom. This tried-and-true combo delivers a classic look and meaty tone with great snare response for rock to jazz.TAMA Star Bubinga Snare Drum Features:
