Description

Tama 14″ x 8″ STAR Bubinga Snare Drum – Pewter Blue Australian Acacia (Wood Inlay Outside). STAR Bubinga is voiced around a dark, fat low end, but its thin shell still opens up under lighter playing. Sound Focus Rings keep the backbeat clearly projected rather than letting the warmth become indistinct. The 14-inch diameter brings a full backbeat with plenty of room to tune, while the 8-inch depth gives the shell more resonance and a longer, fuller decay without changing the head’s fundamental pitch.

Shell and Sound:

A thin bubinga shell with a Cordia inner ply and 9mm Sound Focus Rings brings deep resonance and a defined attack. This example is finished in Pewter Blue Australian Acacia.

Hardware and Response:

STAR’s low-mass eight-lug layout lets the shell ring freely. Three air vents dry and brighten the response, while the flat snare bed helps the hi-carbon wires contact the head evenly. 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.
