If you're looking for an everyday workhorse, then Tama's Starphonic series is the right choice; a collection of professional snare drums that are robustly built and have many sound characters to choose from.
Check out this beautiful limited edition Starphonic Maple! The relatively shallow 5" shell is powerful and perhaps at its best for funky, higher pitched tunings. However, when tuned down and/or add some damping, it still gives plenty of low-end and body as well. It cuts through the mix perfectly, but also has a great dynamic range for subtle playing. The 6 mm / 6 ply maple shell has a beautiful figured maple outer layer and is finished in a stylish Emerald Green see through lacquer.

- 14x5"
- 6 mm / 6 ply maple shell
