The snare wire is a key component of a snare drum. TAMA offers the broadest choices of snares available today. Our Hi-Carbon steel wires dramatically enhance a drum’s overall sensitivity.
Starclassic snares have unique and highly useful features. When you add more tension to the wires, the strands press closer to the snare head. We’ ve redesigned the angle of the end plates and added thinner straps to obtain the perfect response. The MS20SN14B features bell brass strands for greater sensitivity.
Our regular snare assortment is completely comprehensive with different lengths and different numbers of strands (even a 42 strand version!).
Made of die-cast zinc, TAMA’s die-cast hoops deliver an incredibly sharp, solid rim-shot that cannot be found in any other hoop.
2.3mm brass provides a milder attack and more sustain than its steel counter part.
TAMA’s triple flanged 2.3mm steel hoops provide a “wetter" sound than die-cast zinc hoops.
The rubber ring inside of the cup-shaped stainless steel washer absorbs impact vibrations and keeps the hoop and tension bolts in constant contact to prevent the tension from loosening.
2.5mm thick nylon washers decrease noise and make tuning easier and more stable.
Standard metal tension bolt washers.
These new 15mm wide nylon snappy straps are flexible yet durable. Featured on all TAMA snare drums except Warlord Collection and JB1365.
Amazingly durable and flexible new snappy snare cord is made of Dupont Kevlar® cable wrapped in polyester fiber for an even higher tensile strength than steel wire. ( “Kevlar" is registered trademark of Dupont® Corporation.)
This specially designed drum key offers both fine and fast tuning and is shaped and rounded to perfectly fit your fingers. A knurled knob at the end of the key allows you to quickly spin the TDK10 during the initial tension rod tightening for rapid head changes.
