Walnut comes with its own distinct tonal character and, when this is used to shape a snare, you're getting immaculate focus and a natural feeling darkness with a perfect balance between the high and low range, as well as attack and sustain. The die-cast tension hoops play a big role in creating this balance and give rim-shots and clicks immense presence so, when the 14 x 6.5-inch STAR Series TWS1465-AWC Walnut snare is tuned to a lower pitch, it delivers a satisfyingly fat clap while, tuned to a high pitch, the clap morphs into a characteristic crack. A Lightweight Snare with Vintage Charm The use of walnut also keeps the weight of this snare pretty low and gives it a range comparable to that of maple or bubinga snares, but with a decidedly more modest sonic personality, which could even be described as charmingly vintage. If you already have a Tama shell-set in the same finish and with the same sound profile, then the TWS1465 snare is an absolute must-have.
