TAMA BST1465BK Metalworks Series 14″ x 6.5″ Snare Drum – Black

Features

1.2mm Steel Shell with Center Reinforcement Ridge

A thin 1.2mm steel shell construction delivers the explosive, cutting tone steel snares are known for. A pressed center ridge reinforces the shell without adding bulk — keeping the sound bright and focused while ensuring the drum holds up to heavy use.

Tuning Range

This steel snare drum offers a bright tone with tight crispness in high-tuning and a smooth resonance in low-tuning. Few snare drums cover that range this comfortably — making the BST1465BK a genuinely versatile option whether you’re playing live or in the studio.

Matte Black Shell Hardware

The color of the shell hardware is matched to the matte black shell — lugs, hoops, strainer, and butt plate all unified in a single finish for a clean, modern look that lets the drum speak for itself.

Product Highlights:

• 1.2mm Steel Shell: A thin steel shell construction delivers the explosive, cutting character that steel snares are known for — bright and punchy with a sharp crack that cuts through any mix.
• Center Reinforcement Ridge: A pressed ridge running along the center of the shell adds structural rigidity without adding thickness, keeping the tone bright and focused while ensuring long-term durability.
• Tuning Versatile: Tune it high for a tight, crisp attack, or tune it low for a smooth, resonant tone with real authority — a wide tuning range that suits virtually any style or setting.
• All-Matte-Black Aesthetic: Shell, hoops, lugs, and hardware all finished in a matching matte black — a sleek, cohesive look that’s bold on stage without being flashy.
• Triple Flanged Hoops: 1.6mm triple flanged hoops hold tuning reliably across a wide range and add a bright, cutting rimshot tone.
• 20-Strand Carbon Steel Snare Wires: Delivers crisp, sensitive snare response with consistent feel across the full dynamic range.
