Tama Starphonic Aluminium 14x6 Review | WHAT a Snare!

THE TAMA STARPHONIC ALUMINIUM 14X6 SNARE DRUM. Man, where to start! This video is a comprehensive review of this beautiful snare. I go through multiple different tunings from what I call THE SUPER THUD, to Low, Medium, Medium High, High, and My Tuning. You'll see individual hits of each tuning, 16th Notes, 32nds, and a little 32nd Note Groove so you can hear what the Ghost Notes sound like at each stage. I'll also walk you through the shell and some of the features of this drum, and show you how it compares to my Acrolite 14x5.

All recordings are the same microphones and effects. There is a head change but that is discussed in the video :)
