Tama snare drum with copper shell
With the Tama PCP147, you get a 14" x 7" snare drum that stands out within the Starphonic series because of its 1.2 mm copper shell. That combination produces an exceptionally raw, dark tone with very rich low overtones, giving this copper snare a distinctive character.
The Starphonic hardware supports that character well. The Grooved Hoop and Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon snare wire give this Tama snare drum improved sensitivity and a controlled sound, so the response stays direct without losing the shell’s character.
Precision, tuning stability and playing comfort
The Linear-Drive strainer was developed for greater lever control and smoother movement when engaging or disengaging the snare wire. Even with fast use, this system avoids harsh unwanted noises from the snare wire, while the adjusted butt plate angle reduces unnecessary tension on the mechanism and head.
For drummers who want to dial in their snare exactly, the Ratchet Style Snappy Tension Adjuster allows very small 0.083 mm adjustments. The claw hooks with a rubber anti-slip interior also help prevent the screws from backing out, so tuning is maintained more reliably while playing.
Starphonic details of the Tama PCP147
The patented Grooved Hoop combines vintage influences with modern technique and was developed by Tama with close attention to tone and playing comfort. Freedom Lug & Claw Hook make head changes more practical, because you can move the claw hook and tension bolt away from the hoop without fully removing everything.
The Detachable Butt Plate also makes maintenance easier. You can replace the bottom head without remounting or readjusting the entire snare wire. At Magna Music in Roosendaal, you can also get personal advice from musicians if you are looking for a Starphonic snare drum with plenty of character and precise adjustment options.
