The STAR Reserve snare represents the pinnacle of sensitivity and articulation for discerning drummers. Built with a solid maple shell and precision-engineered Starclassic bearing edge, this instrument delivers exceptional clarity and brightness across the dynamic range. The 8-lug Brass Sound Arc hoops enhance resonance and sustain, while STAR Tube Lugs with refined lug nuts enable precise, articulate tuning adjustments. Supersensitive Hi-Carbon Snare Wires feature a thin brass plate and softer coils that respond instantly to the lightest touch, making this 14"x5" snare ideal for both studio recording and live performance where nuanced control matters.
