The Tama Starclassic Performer 14" x 5.5" Snare Drum is perfect for drummers who need a versatile snare with a balanced tone. The hybrid maple and birch shell delivers the best of both worlds—offering warmth and depth from the maple, combined with the birch's crisp attack. This makes it ideal for a wide range of musical genres and performance settings.
