Hi amigos,
Let me introduce you a new test of the Tama Starphonic Bubinga 14x6 snare, made in Japan.
I bought it in Paris @ La Baguetterie Shop after having tested 4 snares side by side.
I was hesitating between a Sonor Prolite, a Gretsch Broadcaster, a Yamaha Custom Hybrid and this Tama Starphonic Bubinga. I was looking for warm and woody snare and I was charmed by the Video I heard at Memphis Drumshop. This snare just got my vote!
What I can I say about my self test:
Superb sonic quality Sensitivity, nice articulation, surprising rim-shots and very organically warm sound! I'm just in love with it
This an high quality snare with an incredible craftsmanship job. Those 1.6mm groove hoops combined with this dual adjustable snare strainer make this snare absolutely perfect!
