The strainer movement is designed to work in a true "linear motion", similar to the motion found on "round sprocket" drum pedals. Even if you move the arm rapidly, you will not hear the typical "slap" of the wires hitting the bottom head. STARPHONIC's new strainer uses a "Linear-Drive" system, which we designed to provide greater control of the lever adjustment arm and more precise control of the strainer's deployment motion. As a result of these modifications, the new "Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snappy Snare" fits more closely to the snare side head, demonstrating greater sensitivity and brighter, crisper sound. In order to provide a more crisp and sensitive sound, we redesigned our snappy snare, using new materials and customizing the shape of the plate and the wire coil's winding pattern. This quick release system offers simple, speedy replacement of drum heads without having to take all of the tension rods out of the lugs. This inward curvature not only enhances the natural tone of the drum and projects the sound upwards toward the player, it offers more sensitivity, precision, and control.īy loosening the tension rods, you can tilt the claw hooks backwards and away from the Grooved Hoop. But on the "Grooved Hoop", it bends inward. With a usual flanged hoop, the top section of the hoop is bent towards the outside of the drum. The shape of the "Grooved Hoop" is inspired by so-called "stick saver hoops" which were typically used on select vintage snare drums in the 30s and 40s. Combined with the STARPHONIC Freedom Lug & Hook, the Grooved Hoop allows fast and easy head changing. Because of its 1.6mm thickness and the lack of holes usually required to accommodate tension rods, the Grooved Hoop provides maximum strength and rigidity, and truer roundness. The "Grooved Hoop" is a totally new development in drum hoop design and is exclusive to our STARPHONIC snares. Though steel is one of the most common snare drum materials, STARPHONIC's innovative hardware enhances the shell's sharp crisp sound, as well as providing easy and reliable tuning. TAMA is proud to release this limited edition STARPHONIC snare drum featuring a thin 1mm steel shell.

Dynamic, warm and sharp, it is a snare that competes with the best. The 1mm thick steel shell has a hard edge to its sound, and Evans heads provide the vibrating surface which brings out the warmth of the drum.
