The Tama Star Reserve Brass Snare Drum is a carefully hand-hammered drum, hammered with a larger-diameter hammer near the edge and get smaller toward the center, for an unmatched sound that is crisp, controlled, warm, and responsive. You would be hard-pressed to find a more dynamic brass snare drum sound.
The 2.3mm custom flanged brass hoops match the shell and control the overtones to tune them to perfection, and the hi-carbon snare wires make for a sensitive response at quiet dynamics and a clear one at loud dynamics. This drum is the best-of-the-best, and each one is one-of-a-kind due to the hand-hammered design!
