Tama TWS1465-SKB Star Walnut Snare 14"x6,5" Smoky Black

High-end Tama snare made of walnut: TWS1465-SKB

The Tama TWS1465-SKB Star Walnut Snare 14" x 6.5" Smoky Black is a premium snare drum crafted from walnut and meticulously handcrafted in Japan. Walnut is known for its focused, attack-rich fundamental character with controlled sustain. This relatively hard wood, commonly used in fine furniture making, is formed into a six-ply shell. The result is a comparatively thin shell thickness of 5 mm, allowing the distinctive, coarse-pored wood to resonate freely and deliver optimal tonal performance. The Star Walnut snare drums also feature the exclusive Star shell ridge, designed to ensure the most efficient transfer of vibration from the drumhead to the shell. Compared to conventional bearing edges, this rounder profile allows the head to transmit vibrations more evenly, bringing out the full tonal potential of the shell.
