General
This 14 x 5.5-inch snare drum in Mint Green Mist is part of Tama's STAR Walnut series. As far as its looks and sound go, it's the perfect addition to a STAR Walnut shell set in the same finish. Furthermore, this snare drum features chrome hardware.
Tama STAR Walnut 14 x 5.5-inch snare drum Mint Green Mist
When it comes to sound, walnut has a very distinct character, as this snare drum will prove. It sounds dark and focused, making it the perfect addition to a STAR Walnut shell set. This 14 x 5.5-inch snare drum offers the ideal balance between highs and lows, and between attack and sustain, thanks to its die-cast hoops. These hoops enhance the shell's focus even further and ensure that your rimshots and rimclicks pierce through any mix. If you tune this snare drum nice and low, it produces a fat slap, and if you crank it up it has a beautifully dry crack.
Lightweight snare with a vintage sound
As Tama used walnut in creating this snare drum, it is quite lightweight, which is a real boon to touring drummers. Furthermore, walnut gives the drum a very distinct sound. Its reach is comparable to that of maple and bubinga drums, but just a bit more subdued. In other words, it sounds nice and vintage. Do you already own a STAR Walnut shell set, but are you still looking for a snare drum? Then this Tama TWS1455 is a definite must-have!
Tips or comments about this product- Please note: the first image shows a Satin Black Walnut finish, but a snare drum with a Mint Green Mist will be supplied. An example of this colour can be found in the second image.
