Tama MAS1465BN-GCS Starclassic Maple Galaxy Chameleon 14 x 6.5
Product no: 9000-0016-8305 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

This beautiful Tama Starclassic Maple snare drum has black nickel hardware and its shell consists of eight plies of maple, bringing the total thickness of the shell up to 7 millimetres. It produces a bright sound with plenty of attack, and besides offering a great balance between mids and highs, it emphasises the low-end. All in all, the Tama MAS1465BN-BCS is the perfect addition to a Starclassic Maple shell set with the same finish.

Tama MAS1465BN-GCS 14 x 6.5-inch Starclassic Maple snare drum

With its 14-inch diameter and 6.5-inch depth, this snare drum is well-suited for all-round drummers. The die-cast hoops allow for a balanced, warm sound and ensure that your drum stays in tune for a long time. To help your drums stay in tune, the tension rods feature Hold Tight cup washers, which are fitted with rubber rings to prevent them from coming loose. The new Snappy Snares consist of 20 strands, and make better contact with the resonant head for a tighter and clearer sound. Furthermore, you can easily replace the resonant head without having to completely remove your snare wires. Simply remove two screws and the snare wires will come off, after which you can just as easily reattach them without having to recalibrate the tension. Finally, all hardware on this snare drum has a black nickel finish.
