Tama PCP147 Copper Starphonic 14x7inch

The Tama PCP147 Copper Starphonic breaks new ground as the first copper–shelled drum in the legendary STARPHONIC series, featuring a 1.2mm copper shell with 7" depth that produces an extraordinary raw, dark tone rich in low–frequency overtones. This innovative snare drum combines the natural warmth of copper with Tama’s advanced STARPHONIC technology, including the signature Grooved Hoop and Super Sensitive Hi–Carbon snare wire for improved sensitivity and controlled sound response.

The drum’s hardware showcases several patented innovations designed for professional performance and convenience. The Non–Loosening Rubber Gasket system prevents tension bolts from loosening during play, while the Ratchet Style Snappy Tension Adjuster offers micro–adjustments with single–click precision of 0.083mm wire motion. The Linear–Drive strainer provides smooth, controlled snare wire deployment without the typical "slap" sound, and the Detachable Butt Plate allows head changes while maintaining original snare wire tension settings.

Tama’s revolutionary Grooved Hoop design merges vintage aesthetics with modern engineering, fundamentally changing how the drum resonates and projects sound. The Freedom Lug & Claw Hook system enables quick head replacement by simply tilting the claw hooks away from the hoop without removing tension rods completely. These thoughtful design elements work together to create a professional–grade instrument that offers both sonic versatility and practical functionality for demanding musical applications.
