Tama 14 X 12 Marching Snare Drum - Vintage Gold Sparkle

TAMA's uniquely engineered Fieldstar Marching Snare Drums offer features not found on any other comparable product on the market today. Each instrument is expertly crafted to maintain its precise shape under highest of tunings and at a fraction of the weight of conventional snares, thanks to the use of the high-strength magnesium alloy edge ring, low-profile strainer and aluminum snare guards. Each drum’s maple shell will deliver and maintain superior tonal quality, resonance and responsiveness under the most intense performance conditions and temperature changes. Beyond the shell, the Fieldstar Marching Snares feature "Buzz Killer Mutes" and a "Detachable Gut Frame" system, allowing the player maximum control over the drum's sound through simple, player-friendly adjustments.

Tama Fieldstar Maple Marching Snare Drum Features

• High Position Strainer: Most current snare drums have a low position strainer that makes it difficult for the player to reach. Adjusting the gut height or turning the guts off for a tenor sound is impossible while carrying the drum. The guts can be accidentally raised to a position too high on both ends causing a bending of the guts and incorrect head contact. TAMA Marching Snare Drums strainer has the lever located near the top of the drum for easy reach while using a carrier. The lever is very stable and operates smoothly while switching from snare to tenor. The High Position Strainer also has built-in safeguards to prevent over adjusting the vertical positioning of the guts.
• Detachable Gut Frame: The Gut Frame of TAMA Marching Snare Drums can be removed or replaced in literally two seconds. You can change the bottom head without changing the tension or mute position of the guts. The two arms of the frame support all of the gut tension and prevent unwanted influences on the strainer and shell sound.
• Individual Gut Tension Adjustment: The TAMA original gut frame system has individually adjustable guts. You can also adjust the tension of all guts at once with the tension adjustment knob. Guts can be individually removed or replaced to create your own custom sound.
• Reinforcement Ring: TAMA uses a 60mm reinforcement ring on the bottom edge of the snare drum shell. This ring allows the shell to maintain shape and withstand high-pitch tuning.
