Constructed with an innovative blend of walnut, birch and cedar tonewoods, this 14x6.5\" snare drum provides a versatile and nuanced voice for any style of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWalnut Shell Offers Warmth and Depth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of this snare is a walnut shell that produces a warm, rich tone with pronounced depth and body. Walnut is a dense, hardwood that helps this drum achieve a wide tuning range and resonant quality. The walnut shell provides an ideal foundation for the birch and cedar plies that shape this drum's complex voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThin Birch Plies Add Cut and Clarity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBirch is known for its focused, articulate sound, and the thin birch plies in this snare help deliver precise articulation and cut. The birch plies tighten the overall tone and reduce excessive overtones for a controlled, defined sound with ample sensitivity and response. The birch provides clarity and focus, balancing the warmth of the walnut shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCedar Outer Ply Produces Vintage Tone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single outer ply of cedar gives this snare a touch of vintage flavor. Cedar is a lightweight, resonant tonewood that helps produce a mellow, rounded tone often associated with classic snares of the 1950s and '60s. The cedar outer ply warms the birch plies and walnut shell for a full, balanced sound with vintage character. This fusion of tonewoods results in a highly versatile snare that can achieve a wide range of sounds from crisp and articulate to warm and resonant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDie-Cast Hoops and Sensitive Snare Wires\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis premium snare is equipped with 2.3 mm triple-flange die-cast hoops and sensitive snare wires that maximize resonance and response. The die-cast hoops provide stability for precise tuning while enhancing sustain and projection. The sensitive snare wires pick up the subtlest strokes and ghost notes for superior dynamic range and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-4 flex gap-x-8 md:mt-8 justify-center\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-h-65 w-full max-w-65\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"TAMA Starclassic Walnut\/Birch Snare Drum With Cedar Outer Ply - 14 x 6.5 in.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"260\" height=\"260\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"h-auto w-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.guitarcenter.com\/is\/image\/MMGS7\/L47084000001000-00-260x260.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-h-65 w-full max-w-65\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapse-header flex cursor-pointer items-center justify-between cursor-pointer hover:bg-std-gray-50 h-15\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"collapse-title flex-1 text-2xl font-bold text-std-gray-600\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapse-content-wrapper overflow-hidden border-b border-std-gray-300 transition-all ease-in-out last:border-b-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapse-content overflow-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-content mx-auto mt-8 text-sm font-normal lg:max-w-300\"\u003e\n\u003cul title=\"TAMA Starclassic Walnut\/Birch Snare Drum With Cedar Outer Ply - 14 x 6.5 in.
