thinking about a 12x4 tama metalworks snare as a main snare. i like the high pitched poppy chad smith stuff. would this do the trick (with proper tuning)

[kevnak]

Starphonic Brass.

[Ekim]

crud. I added another to the stable recently. More pics to take...

5.5" x 14" Tama Starclassic Performer in Transparent Black

@ MattWalker21:

I love my SC Performer 5.5x14. Probably my best "all-around" snare.

Question: what's the pedal on the far left? Another remote hat?

It's a fantastic snare. I think it sounds best when it's really cranked up.

The pedal on the far left is for auxiliary percussion stuff like a tambourine, cowbell, jam block etc..

[Ekim]

Cool. I kind of want one for that, but I don't think I will have room if I ever get my Cobra Clutch I want.

Alas! I shall never get down the "El Negro" Hernandez left foot clave.

[christianpaul]

anyone have any info on this snare

[beastdrummagirl]

Ok, my snare isn't anything high quality or anything but she's lasted 6 years with me... bout to be 7. She's a beautiful steel Rockstar snare. Sadly, she's losing some of her flare. Kinda degenerating actually... :/ so it's time for me to get some $ together to get the Metalworks :D

I own two Tama snares.

This is my 14" x 5 1/2" Starclassic Bubinga snare in a "Scorched Copper Burst" finish with black nickel hardware.



And this is my 14" x 5 1/2" Tama Artwood Custom Maple snare. The finish is "Titanium Burst", also with black hardware. Sorry, I don't have a glamor shot of this one.

audiotech: That first one is downright purty. I love my SC Birch Performer but I'd love to hear a Bubinga and compare & contrast the two shells.

Here are second photos of my beauties:
Stave caskwood
11lug birds eye maple (antique brown color)
Oak snare

Join facebook group "tama sloveija" and see all of them...

Starphonic Brass........

[KONA]

I bought this drum a few years ago & use it with my 58 Gretsch kit - when I want to sound like Charlie Watts (8x14 snare) haha.

Tama Starclassic 8x14 Maple with Abalone inlay........very solid drum - sound wonderful.

[KONA]

What a beautiful drum!
Sorry - I don't have info on it. However, I saw a Camco kit in a local drum store a couple of years ago with finish & a design similar to this....not the same but your drum reminds me of it. I almost bought the Camcos but ........I have too many drums & not enough room. I like em all.

There are some gorgeous drums on this thread !

Thanks, it is an awesome sounding snare.

[martindrumer]

Here it is...legendary
Tama bell brass snare.
Tama fibrestar snare
Tama acrylic snare

Look all my tama snares on facebook groups "tama slovenija" and "zildjian slovenija".

[Err]

My buddy Dave gave me this. Its a 1980s Superstar 14"x8" in Maple finish. He used it in the early 90's but now he mostly plays guitar....





Just fitted it with a new Aquarian Hi-Energy which he recommended to me....



Unfortunately the wire snares are not the full length original ones.

Are these them?

I don't think so. As you can see here:

http://www.drummerworld.com/forums/s...ighlight=wires

the wires should extend past the bearing edges. It's a serious pain to get replacements, IMO. But I THINK the Pearl Free-Floating snare wires work. I cannot find another thread where I asked the same question some year or so ago.

Thanks! I found this thread that confirms your suspicions about the Pearl Free Floaters.

I really thought I'd responded to that thread. No wonder I couldn't find it, I was searching MY posts.

Puresound makes Free-Floater wires in their Vintage series, too.

Is your buddy Dave's last name Grohl?

[zarrdoss]

Tama Metalworks 6.5 x 14, love it and for the price I paid it cant be beat! I just wish I could find the 8 x 14.

[Ekim]

I wonder... did Tama ever make a Metalworks (or some other thin-shelled snare) in 8x13?

[rmandelbaum]

I have a few to share

[lo0n]

7" x 14" Starclassic Birch/Bubinga with an outer ply of Bird's Eye Maple! This is my first "made in China" drum and I must say the quality is top notch, this thing sounds incredible!!

[sXeDanimalsXe]

Wow some awesome snares on here! I want a bell brass so bad!

I've been using the same Imperialstar snare as my main drum for 28 years...beautiful sounding with plenty of crack, volume and sensitivity.

As a bonus, I could dead lift it 10-15 times instead of going to the gym. Just saying.

[T.Underhill]

Tama is my go-to line of snares. Every one of these is quality built. Tried to get all the metals and woods into the collection.

[gconyers]

great collection....I especially like the starclassic line's lugs and hardware. very jealous....
