Articulate Your Sound in Style with the Tama 14 x 5-Inch STAR Reserve Limited Bubinga/Walnut Snare Drum
A clearly defined, articulate attack you can almost see. A refined sweetness that resonates beautifully with every stroke. And the expressive sensitivity to deliver each note — even in fast passages — with clarity to the audience. This limited-edition STAR Reserve snare embodies all of that.
At the heart of its elegant voice is a hybrid shell combining walnut and bubinga. Four plies of walnut are positioned from the inner shell surface to the bearing edge, producing a warm, full-bodied sweetness. Surrounding it are two plies of bubinga, adding focused attack and rich low-mid projection.
Maple Sound Focus Rings further enhance tonal definition, while the shallower 5-inch depth creates a clear, articulate sound with excellent projection and a strong core.
The outer ply features striking Cordia wood with dramatic grain patterns. Its flowing figure, enhanced by a beautiful gloss finish, gives the drum a refined, handcrafted presence worthy of its sound.
An exceptional instrument that delivers uncompromising premium character in both sound and appearance.
6mm, 6ply Walnut/Bubinga + 1 Outer Ply Cordia w/Maple Sound Focus Rings
A hybrid shell constructed with four inner plies of walnut and two outer plies of bubinga. Equipped with the same Maple Sound Focus Rings found on STAR Maple, it produces a focused tonal core with rich, controlled low-mid resonance.
2.3mm Sound Arc Hoops
This snare drum will be fitted with Tama's Sound Arc Hoops, inspired by the so-called "stick saver hoops" which were used on select vintage snare drums. The edges of the Sound Arc Hoops bend inward to enhance the natural tone of the drum and offer increased sensitivity, precision, and control.
Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snare Wires
In order to provide a more crisp and sensitive sound, Tama redesigned its Snare Wires using new materials, customizing the shape of the plate, and changing the wire coils' winding pattern. As a result, the "Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snare Wire" fits more closely to the snare side head, providing greater sensitivity and brighter, crisper sound.
