Tama TMBS158S-OCOB - STAR Reserve Maple/Bubinga Snare Drum
For the seasoned drummer, it is an extremely gratifying sensation to discover a special snare drum that brings a newfound creativity to your playing.
We feel this is exactly what we've accomplished with our 15" x 8" STAR Reserve snare drum.
Its combination of Bubinga/Maple hybrid shell and Brass Mighty hoops provides a thunderous backbeat, while maintaining a great tonal balance of low and high end frequencies. Some of our artists even tune this drum very low and place it where a first floor tom would traditionally be, in addition to a main snare in standard position. This can lead to many unique phrasing opportunities. In this position, the drum functions as a "low snare" with the snare wires engaged, but with the wires off, it can double as a floor tom.
