TAMA Announces New STAR Reserve Solid Japanese Cedar Snare Drum

For 2023, TAMA has announced a new addition to their STAR Reserve snare drum series, Solid Japanese Cedar, the 9th entry into the collection. This snare drum features a traditional Japanese woodworking technique called Uzukuri, which creates a three-dimensional texture and appearance on the outside of the shell.  The 8mm solid Cedar shell is steam bent and fitted with matching steam bent Cedar Sound Focus Rings (reinforcement hoops) that are hand cut by skilled Japanese artisans.  The Cedar shell is outfitted with (8) Low Mass STAR Lugs, 2.3mm Customized Brass Mighty Hoops and Starclassic Bell Brass Snare Wires (20-strand).  The hardware specifications were chosen to complement the mellow tonal character of the shell to pull out thick, rich tones with powerful attack and dynamic sensitivity.  The Uzukuri exterior shell is finished in natural oil, which highlights the attractive natural aesthetic of the Cedar wood grain.
