TAMA WP1465BK – NZW Woodworks Series 14″ x 6.5″ Snare Drum – Natural Zebrawood Wrap

This snare drum is made of 8ply Poplar wood, which brings to life a full and warm-toned sound with medium attack. The shell is covered with an Art Grain wrap that has a classy design of natural Zebrawood or Black Oak. This shell is also equipped with Matte Black hardware.

Features

8mm, 8ply Poplar Shell

All shells are crafted from 100% poplar wood in an 8-ply, 8mm build. Poplar has been a go-to drum shell material, delivering a full, warm tone with medium attack that works across virtually any music style.

6.5″ Deep Shell

The extra depth over the 5.5″ model translates to a noticeably fuller, more powerful sound — with greater resonance and longer sustain. If you need your snare to cut through a loud mix or simply want more body behind every hit, the 6.5″ depth delivers.

Matte Black Shell Hardware

All hardware — lugs, hoops, strainer, and butt plate — is finished in a uniform matte black, giving the WP1465BK a bold, cohesive look that pairs naturally with the Zebrawood wrap. The understated finish keeps the focus on the drum’s exotic grain without competing for attention.

20 strands Steel Snare Wires

The MS20R14S regular carbon steel snare wires deliver crisp, sensitive response with consistent feel across the full dynamic range — whether you’re playing light brush strokes or full backbeats. 20 strands strike a balance between sensitivity and body, making it a versatile choice straight out of the box.
