Jazz legend Peter Erskine's new 6'x10' signature snare drum was developed with one of his favorite STAR snare drums in mind - the Stave Ash model. Tama's stave shells are constructed using 12 portions of wood that are cut to precision, then bonded together, tightly forming the 10mm thick shell. Peter prefers the tone of Ash wood for his side snare that provides quick, cutting attack and response. The snare drum comes equipped with the STAR series Super Resonant Mounting System series for easy positioning around the kit, and to maximize the natural resonance of the drum.
