14"x7" STARPHONIC Copper PCP147 Snare Drum
Raw, dark toneThe TAMA PCP147 snare drum features a 1.2 mm copper shell with a 7" depth for first time ever in the history of the STARPHONIC series. These elements create an extraordinary raw, dark tone with rich low frequencies in its overtone. Together with outstanding STARPHONIC features such as a Grooved Hoop and a Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon snare wire, the PCP147 provides improved sensitivity and controlled sound.

Linear-Drive Strainer
true linear motionSTARPHONIC's strainer uses a "Linear-Drive" system, which was designed to provide extra control of the lever adjustment arm and more precise control of the strainer's deployment motion. Even when you move the arm quickly, you won't hear the usual "slap" of the wires hitting the bottom head.
The strainer movement is designed to work in a true "linear motion", like the motion found on "round sproket" drum pedals. Most strainers aren't designed like this and often speed up right before the snare wires connect with the snare side head. By tilting the angle of the butt plate 30 degrees, this design also holds the snare wire cords or tape more firmly and reduces unnecessary pressure on the strainer and shell.
Unique Design
Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snare WireTo provide a more crisp and sensitve sound, TAMA redesigned their snappy snare using new materials and customizing the shape of the plate and the wire coil's winding pattern. These modifications give you the new "Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snappy Snare" that fits more closely to the snare side head, delivering greater sensitivity and a brighter, crisper sound.
Non-Loosening Rubber GasketSTARPHONIC's claw hooks have 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 hoop. This also presses the rubber block inside the claw hook and adds pressure to the tension rod inside.
Ratchet Style Snappy Tension AdjusterTo save the snappy snares from loosening, TAMA employed a ratchet system on the strainer's tension adjustment mechanism. Much like an adjustment tool with fine gears, it gives you high-pressure retension, 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.
Detachable Butt PlateThe Detachable Strainer Butt allows you to change your snare side head whilst keeping the snare wire tension in its original state. Just loosen the two screws and detach the butt plate with the snappy snares still on. When you reattach tha 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 easier operation.
Freedom Lug & Claw HookBy looseing the tension rods, you can tilt the claw hooks backwards and away from the Grooved Hoop. This quick release system offers simple, speedy replacement of drum heads without having to take all of the tension rods out of the lugs.
Grooved HoopThe first factor TAMA focused on to achive a new snare drum sound was the effect of hoop. So they carefully studied the evolution of the hoop over time. In doing so, they came up with an idea that combines vintage design and modern technology. That idea is the essence of our totally new "Grooved Hoop."
