The Tama PCP147 Starphonic Copper Snare in 14"x7" is a high-end snare with 1.2 mm copper shell, grooved hoops and claw hooks. The thin copper shell has a very deep and at the same time clear basic sound. The tone is dark and raw with rich bass and defined overtones. The Starphonic Snares continue to be built by Tama in Japan and are manufactured and tested to the highest quality standards. Equipped with Evans heads, Grooved Hoops, Claw Hooks and Linear Drive Strainer the Tama PCP147 Starphonic Snare leaves nothing to be desired.

The 1.2 mm thin pure copper shell promises a deep and raw sound, but at the same time has balanced overtones and clear definition. The sound of copper is very rich and bass-heavy at first, but is then complemented by finest overtones and focused attack in sustain. Evans heads are factory mounted, a G1 Coated as batter head and an Evans Snare Side on the reso side. As standard the MS20RL14C snare wire is made of carbonized steel, it responds sensitively and in combination with the Linear Drive throw-off allows high dynamic gradations.

Tama Freedom Lugs have the advantage that they can be folded away from the shell by loosening the tension rods, so that the heads can be changed quickly without having to completely unscrew all the rods. The Claw Hooks also have a rubber block inside that prevents the screws from loosening while playing. The sound remains constant due to this tuning lock. The rounded Grooved Hoop by Tama protects the drumsticks and supports a focused sound, which nevertheless unfolds freely.
