TAMA PCP147 Starphonic Copper 14"x7" Snare Drum
Dark, Raw Copper Tone with Deep Sonic Character
For the first time in the Starphonic series, TAMA introduces a 14"x7" snare crafted from a 1.2mm copper shell – the PCP147. Known for its naturally warm and dark sonic qualities, copper brings a unique richness and complexity to the drum’s voice. The increased 7" depth expands the low-frequency response even further, offering thunderous body, fat backbeats, and a raw, earthy overtone signature that stands apart from traditional metal snares.
Enhanced Sensitivity with Controlled Power
Despite its darker tonality, this snare remains highly responsive thanks to TAMA’s Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon snare wires, which deliver crisp detail and articulate ghost notes. The Grooved Hoops (a hallmark of the Starphonic series) increase tuning stability and help maintain a controlled, punchy resonance without choking the shell. The result is a snare that feels alive, expressive, and incredibly versatile across styles requiring warm attack and powerful depth.
Professional Hardware with Starphonic Convenience
Equipped with the renowned Freedom Lug & Claw Hook system, this snare allows fast, tool-free head changes – a massive advantage in studio and live environments. The "Linear-Drive" strainer and butt provide smooth, precise snare action, maintaining consistency even under heavy playing. Finished in Satin Hairline Copper, the PCP147 delivers boutique aesthetics to match its premium performance.
