The rich tone and resonance of the TAMA Star Stave Shell snare drum comes courtesy of its 10mm walnut shell, constructed from 16 individual staves. The tone has plenty of attack and a quick response, as well as excellent articulation on softer strokes. Between the custom snare bed shape, projection-enhancing air holes, and ultra-lightweight lugs, the TAMA Star Stave Shell snare is a versatile drum indeed. And TAMA's Linear-Drive strainer prevents snare-wire "slap" even when you engage it rapidly - a feature drummers love. For a great-sounding snare that's ready for any session or performance, the TAMA Star Stave Shell snare drum is a great choice.
