TAMA TBS1465S STAR Bubinga 14"x6.5" Snare Drum, Dark Green Cordia
Big, Dark Tone with Boutique STAR Craftsmanship
The TAMA STAR Bubinga 14"x6.5" Snare Drum showcases the powerful, earthy character that has made Bubinga one of TAMA’s most iconic shell materials. With its naturally high density, Bubinga delivers a deep, fat low‑end combined with a rich, dark tonal profile – ideal for drummers who want commanding presence and a bold, musical snare sound. The STAR version takes this concept further by utilising an ultra‑thin 4.5mm shell, allowing the wood to resonate more freely for a more open, expressive voice.
Thinner Shells, Bigger Sound
Unlike the thicker Starclassic models, STAR Bubinga shells are engineered for maximum resonance. The addition of 9mm Sound Focus Rings enhances projection and clarity while maintaining structural stability. Paired with die‑cast hoops, MSL90S one‑piece lugs, and the ultra‑smooth Linear‑Drive strainer and butt, this snare provides remarkable responsiveness and a weighty, authoritative backbeat. The included MS20RL14C snare wires ensure crisp articulation to balance the drum’s dark tonal footprint.
