Tama WBSS146BNC-MBC Starclassic Walnut/Birch 14" x 6" Snare Drum – Matte Brown Cedar
A Professional Hybrid Snare with Bold Attack and Deep Tonal Body
The Tama WBSS146BNC-MBC Starclassic Walnut/Birch 14" x 6" Snare Drum delivers a powerful blend of warmth, clarity and projection, crafted for drummers who demand a professional, versatile snare. Its hybrid shell construction – pairing birch’s bright, cutting attack with walnut’s rich, rounded low end – creates a balanced, modern voice suitable for any style or performance environment.
Hybrid Birch/Walnut Shell for Depth, Warmth and Precision
Built from 7 plies at 6 mm thickness, the shell combines outer layers of birch with inner layers of walnut, producing punchy articulation supported by a solid low-frequency foundation. Birch delivers crisp attack and projection, while walnut adds body, warmth and musical depth. The result is a tone that is both familiar and distinctly evolved from previous Starclassic generations – strong, refined and highly responsive.
Die-Cast Hoops and Premium Hardware for Ultimate Stability
Fitted with 10 die-cast hoops, this snare offers precise tuning, enhanced focus and a powerful rimshot. Die-cast hoops improve consistency by ensuring each tension rod seats perfectly, providing smooth tuning and tighter control over overtones. Black nickel hardware, including the MSL-SCTBN Starclassic lugs, complements the satin finish while delivering rock-solid durability.
The MLS30ABN/MLS30BBN throw-off system gives drummers reliable and sensitive snare-wire adjustment, while the MS20R14S 20-strand snare wires offer crisp response and controlled articulation – ideal for both live and studio work.
Matte Brown Cedar Satin Finish
The Matte Brown Cedar finish gives the drum a natural, earthy look that highlights the shell’s hybrid construction. Its satin surface ensures a professional, understated aesthetic, making this snare both visually appealing and highly adaptable to any kit setup.
