Description

Tama 14″ x 6.5″ Starclassic Maple Snare Drum – Turquoise Pearl (Smoked Black Nickel Hardware). Starclassic Maple delivers an open, warm maple tone with enough attack for a hard backbeat. It has a broad tuning range: clear and lively up high, fuller and rounder when tuned down. Its 14-inch playing surface keeps the stick response full and expansive; at 6.5 inches deep, the drum develops a fuller low-mid response.

Shell and Sound:

The Starclassic maple shell is an eight-ply, 7mm construction. This version has the Turquoise Pearl finish.

Hardware and Response:

Zinc die-cast hoops focus the rimshot into a sharp, solid crack and rein in some of the head ring. The Linear-Drive strainer moves the wires towards the head in a controlled straight motion, avoiding the abrupt wire slap of a conventional throw-off. Its ratchet tension adjustment allows small, repeatable changes to snare response. Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon wires bring the softer centre strokes and ghost notes into focus.

At Drum Central we want you to be able to shop with confidence and are happy to offer a 2 year warranty and 30 day money back guarantee on all of our new products. (All products sold are considered new unless clearly stated. This includes ex display models.)

If within 30 days of receiving your purchase you decide it is not right for you providing it is returned in “as new” condition within its unopened original packing we will refund or exchange your item as desired. In cases where packaging has been opened we may be unable to offer a refund but in some cases will offer a refund that reflects the reduced resale value of the item.

We do our best to make sure every aspect of your Drum Central order goes smoothly but in the event that an item arrives either damaged or incorrect then notify us within 14 days and we will arrange a free collection so as to get the item swapped or replaced.

If your purchase develops a fault within the 2 year warranty period you can return it to us and we will repair or replace it. A fault is defined as a defect that you would not normally expect to occur through normal wear and tear and that has not been caused by improper use.
