TAMA Limited-Edition Starclassic G Walnut/Birch Snare Drum - 14" x 6.5"
A Special Starclassic for America's 250th
In celebration of the United States' 250th anniversary, TAMA honors its deep history with American drummers by releasing a limited run of patriotic-inspired Starclassic G Walnut/Birch snare drums. Sporting a stunning, hand-painted Crimson Sapphire Cascade finish paired with sleek black nickel hardware, this snare serves up star-spangled curb appeal that is just as impressive as its sound.
Designed to perfectly match the limited-edition 5-piece Starclassic shell pack, this snare is a true collector’s piece built for the working drummer.
Custom-Crafted 9mm Shell for Massive Sonic Firepower
TAMA upgraded its traditional construction for this limited-edition release, boosting the shell thickness to a hefty 9mm (10-ply). By combining eight plies of crisp birch with two internal plies of rich American black walnut, this snare delivers a massive boost in overall projection and natural punch. Expect a focused, midrange-forward bite and pristine articulation that cuts through any mix—making it the ultimate backbeat for pop, rock, and metal both on stage and in the studio.
Pro-Grade, Rock-Solid Hardware
The Starclassic G is outfitted with heavy-duty hardware engineered to perform flawlessly under heavy hitting:
-
Maximum Tuning Stability: Two rows of rugged Starclassic lugs paired with rubber-washered tension rods ensure your tuning stays locked in all night long.
-
Explosive Rimshots: Rounded-over die-cast hoops focus the shell's natural projection while giving you sharp, earsplitting rimshots and effortless tuning accuracy.
-
Snappy, Precise Response: TAMA’s MLS30A strainer and MLS30B butt plate smoothly drive a 20-strand set of Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon snare wires for lightning-fast articulation.
