TAMA PBC146-MNC Starphonic Bubinga 14"x6" Snare Drum, Matte Natural Cordia
A Warm, Refined and Resonant Take on the Starphonic Formula
The TAMA PBC146-MNC Starphonic Bubinga 14"x6" Snare Drum offers a lush, sophisticated tone built around the powerful sonic character of Bubinga. With a thinner 7mm shell than the standard Starclassic Bubinga series – reinforced with a beautifully grained outer ply of Cordia – this snare delivers a warmer, softer and more rounded version of Bubinga’s famously deep, rich voice. The result is a drum with full-bodied resonance, smooth projection and exceptional musicality across a wide dynamic range.
Starphonic Design for Ultimate Sensitivity and Control
Enhanced by TAMA’s signature Grooved Hoops, this snare balances focus, warmth and projection with remarkable precision. The Freedom Lug & Claw Hook system allows quick and effortless head changes, while the Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snappy Snare wires ensure crisp and detailed response – ideal for articulate playing and high-sensitivity performance situations. The Linear-Drive strainer and ratchet-style tension adjuster offer precise snare control, making the PBC146-MNC a versatile tool for both studio and stage.
