Tama WBRS65-TQP Starclassic Walnut/Birch 14" x 6.5" Snare Drum – Turquoise Pearl
A Modern Hybrid Snare with Refined Warmth and Bright Articulation
The Tama Starclassic Walnut/Birch 14" x 6.5" Snare Drum is the result of Tama’s pursuit of balanced, contemporary drum tones. By blending the warmth of walnut with the crisp definition of birch, Tama has created a shell that responds with both musical low‑to‑mid warmth and bright, articulate attack. The result is a snare drum that feels familiar yet distinctly modern – ideal for today’s versatile drummers.
Perfectly Balanced Walnut/Birch Hybrid Shell
Constructed from a 6 mm shell with 4 plies of birch and 2 inner plies of walnut, this hybrid design delivers a tonal richness that sits beautifully in a mix. Walnut provides depth and fullness, while birch enhances clarity, projection and higher-frequency presence. This combination produces a well‑rounded snare tone suitable for a wide variety of musical contexts, from live gigs to studio sessions.
Professional Hardware for Tuning Stability and Control
The snare features 10‑hole die‑cast hoops, offering exceptional tuning consistency and a focused, controlled rimshot sound. The shell’s foiled wrap finish is supported by robust Starclassic hardware elements, ensuring long‑term durability and reliable performance on stage or in demanding rehearsal environments.
Turquoise Pearl Finish for Stunning Visual Impact
The Turquoise Pearl wrap brings a striking, vintage‑inspired aesthetic to this modern instrument. Its textured, shimmering appearance stands out under stage lights and complements a wide range of drum kit finishes. It is both stylish and unmistakably classic, making this snare a standout centrepiece.
