TAMA PAL146 Starphonic Aluminum 14"x6" Snare Drum
A Bright, Open and Expressive Take on the Modern Aluminium Snare
The TAMA PAL146 Starphonic Aluminum 14"x6" Snare Drum takes the classic voice of aluminium and elevates it with TAMA’s advanced Starphonic design. Built from a 1.2mm seamless aluminium shell, this snare produces an open, crisp and brilliantly articulate tone with lively, complex overtones. It offers immediacy and sensitivity at all dynamic levels, making it ideal for drummers who want a lightweight metal snare with both musical warmth and sparkling top‑end clarity.
Starphonic Engineering for Maximum Sensitivity and Control
The shell’s unique characteristics are enhanced by several key Starphonic features. The Grooved Hoops provide crisp, consistent rimshots while controlling unwanted over-ring, and the Freedom Lugs with quick‑release claw hooks make head changes fast and effortless. The Super Sensitive Hi‑Carbon Snappy Snare brings increased detail and responsiveness to ghost notes and subtle playing. With its Linear‑Drive Strainer, detachable butt plate and ratchet‑style snare tension adjuster, the PAL146 offers precision tuning and performance-focused practicality.
