Play the 50th Limited Starclassic Mirage snare drum to experience TAMA's heritage of quality drum-making through its deep, pure tone.  Seamless Acrylic Shell Resonates With Clear, Deep Tone The Starclassic Mirage snare drum features a completely seamless 14x6.5" acrylic shell that is 5.5 mm thick. Constructed using an advanced seamless production technique, this shell resonates freely with incredible clarity and a deep, pure tone. Every note sustains cleanly without unwanted overtones. Acrylic as a shell material has been cherished by drummers for decades thanks to its unique sound. TAMA has been innovating with acrylic shells since the 1970s and this special 50th Anniversary snare exemplifies their ongoing ingenuity. Die-Cast Hoops Enhance the Drum's Resonance To allow the acrylic shell to ring out fully, TAMA equipped the snare drum with sturdy die-cast hoops. The hoops firmly hold the head in place while promoting resonance and articulation. You'll hear notes sustain with remarkable clarity as the shell and hoops work together to enhance the drum's natural tone. The die-cast hoops also enable great tuning stability, allowing you to precisely dial in your desired snare sound. Super Sensitive Snare Wires Provide Crisp Snare Response Crisp snare response is essential for any snare drum and the Starclassic Mirage delivers with 20-strand super sensitive snare wires. The wires are held in place with a throw-off lever that makes it easy to disengage the snares when you want a wide-open tom sound. With the snares engaged, you'll get articulate snare sounds with TAMA's special snare wires. The wires have just the right amount of tension against the bottom head to sensitively react when you play ghost notes or rimshots. Distinctive Design With Black Nickel Hardware While the clear acrylic shell is the star of the show, the snare drum also features distinguished styling touches. The shell hardware, including the lugs, claw hooks, tension bolts and throw-off lever, are all finished in black nickel. This elegant hardware contrasts beautifully against the see-through acrylic shell. With its commemorative badge, the 50th Limited Starclassic Mirage snare drum is a special and collectible instrument produced in a limited run.
