Featuring a 1.2mm thick seamless Aluminum shell, this drum creates a crisp, open sound with bright, complex overtones. Its aluminium shell maximizes the most positive attributes of STARPHONIC features, such as the Freedom Lug, the Grooved Hoop and Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snappy Snare. With such exhilarating sound quality, this drum will undoubtedly change your mind about the sound of Aluminum.
By loosening the tension rods, you can tilt the claw hooks backwards and away from the Grooved Hoop. This quick release system offers simple, speedy replacement of drum heads without having to take all of the tension rods out of the lugs. STARPHONIC's claw hooks have a rubber block inside to prevent the tension bolts from loosening during playing. TAMA redesigned the snappy snare, using new materials and customizing the shape of the plate and the wire coil's winding pattern. The new "Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snappy Snare" fits more closely to the snare side head, demonstrating greater sensitivity and brighter, crisper sound. TAMA incorporated a ratchet system on the strainer's tension adjustment mechanism. Much like an adjustment tool with fine gears, it achieves high-pressure re-tension, even with extreme settings. Single click adjustments offer a vertical pull of 0.083mm of wire motion, which allows you to achieve ultrasensitive micro-adjustments. The Detachable Strainer Butt allows you to change your snare side head but keeps the snare wire tension in its original state. The Grooved Snare Side Hoop features an open frame for simpler operation. STARPHONIC's strainer uses a "Linear-Drive" system, which is designed to provide greater control of the lever adjustment arm and more precise control of the strainer's deployment motion.
