Tama WBSS136-MBR Starclassic Walnut/Birch 13" x 6" Snare Drum – Molten Brown Burst
A Compact Snare with Power, Warmth and Precision
The Tama Starclassic Walnut/Birch 13" x 6" Snare Drum delivers a focused, articulate sound with impressive punch. Combining the crisp definition of European birch with the rich, warm depth of American black walnut, this hybrid shell construction provides a versatile tonal palette suited to modern drumming styles. Its smaller 13" diameter adds extra sensitivity and snap, making it ideal for players seeking a responsive and expressive voice.
Walnut/Birch Hybrid Shell for a Modern Sonic Identity
Crafted from 4 plies of European birch paired with 2 inner plies of black American walnut, this 6 mm shell design creates the perfect balance of clarity and warmth. Birch supplies the bright attack and projection needed for live settings, while walnut enhances the low-mid warmth – making this snare equally at home in studio environments where detail matters.
Premium Hardware for Consistent, Reliable Performance
Equipped with die-cast hoops, this snare offers a tight, controlled rimshot character and superb tuning stability. The chrome hardware maintains a classic Starclassic aesthetic, while ensuring long-term durability. With its 6" depth, the drum provides added body and fullness without sacrificing articulation.
Molten Brown Burst Finish with Stunning Visual Depth
The Molten Brown Burst lacquer showcases Tama’s meticulous finishing process, offering a rich gradient that highlights the natural grain of the shell. Its sophisticated appearance makes it a standout addition to any kit, equally suited to both stage and studio.
