Promotion: Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snappy Snare This new piece of hardware fits more closely to the snare side head for greater sensitivity and brighter crisper sound. Its been redesigned using new materials and a customised plate shape and wire coil winding pattern. Freedom Lug & Claw Hook A new quick-release system allows you to loosen the tension rods and tilt the claw hooks away from the Grooved Hoop. This makes changing drum heads quick and easy. "Linear-Drive" Strainer The STARPHONIC strainer uses a "Linear-Drive" system which provides greater control of the lever adjustment arm and the strainers deployment motion. Even if you move the arm quickly you wont hear the usual slap of the wires hitting the bottom head. The strainer movement is designed to work in a true linear motion similar to the motion found on "round sprocket" drum pedals. Most strainers are not designed like this and tend to speed up right before the snare wires connect with the snare side head. Also by tilting the angle of the butt plate 30 degrees this design holds the snare wire cords or tape more firmly and reduces unnecessary pressure on the strainer and shell. Non-Loosening Rubber Gasket STARPHONICs claw hooks feature a rubber block inside to prevent the tension bolts from loosening during playing. Once the tension bolt is tightened the claw hook is pressed towards the rubber block inside the claw hook and adds pressure to the tension rod inside. Detachable Butt Plate The Detachable Strainer Butt allows you to change your snare side head but keeps the snare wire tension in its original state. Just loosen the screws and detach the butt plate with the snappy snares still on. When you reattach the butt plate the snare wire tension will be restored to its original position and calibration. The Grooved Snare Side Hoop features an open frame for simpler operation. Ratchet Style Snappy Tension Adjuster To prevent the snappy snares from loosening Tama incorporated a ratchet system on the strainers tension adjustment mechanism. Much like an adjustment tool with fine gears it achieves high-pressure retention even with extreme settings. Single click adjustments offer a vertical pull of 0.083mm of wire motion which allows you to achieve ultra-sensitive micro-adjustments.
