A Tough Snare That’s Engineered for Success

With an ideal combination of lightweight, durable construction and field-efficient appointments, TAMA’s Fieldstar Marching Snare drums offer an incredibly reliable solution for drumlines everywhere. A tough maple shell teams up with magnesium edge rings to not only reduce weight, but also hold this snare’s shape under competition-tension tunings extraordinarily well for tonal quality you want, with the freedom of movement you need. Changes in weather and temperature won’t phase the Fieldstar either, as you’ll continuously find the resonance, projection, and playing response you need to ace your routine. Sweetwater percussionists love the Fieldstar's conveniences like the Buzz Killer Mutes and the detachable Gut Frame system, granting you total control of your sound and setup from start to finish!

Sound that reaches all corners of the field

You need a snare that doesn’t just keep up with the pack, but leads the charge — and the Fieldstar is it! Three vent holes within the all-maple shell construction help to increase this snare’s thunderous projection so that both the corps and the audience never miss a beat. If your routine calls for a specific tone that head tuning can’t track down, the Fieldstar’s Gut Frame system allows for individual gut tension adjustment, with the ability to be removed or tuned in unison for a truly customized sound. On top of that, the TAMA’s Buzz Killer Mutes control the guts’ sensitivity. Position them accordingly and fasten them down on the frame to increase or decrease your desired degree of rattle.

Jam-packed with convenience features

The Fieldstar doesn’t just sound fantastic, but it avidly works to deliver the smoothest performance possible courtesy of some stellar appointments. Easily switch your playing position to your from straight to angled with the adjustable snare drum holder. Snags and snare damage are a thing of the past thanks to the Fieldstar’s low-profile strainer and lightweight aluminum snare guards, providing some extra security both during the number and when placing it on the ground. The Gut Frame system is even detachable and replaceable in a matter of seconds, perfect for swapping resonant heads without compromising your tension settings.

TAMA MS1412 Fieldstar Marching Snare Drum Features:

  • 14-inch depth x 12-inch diameter
  • All-maple construction with three vent holes supplies a tremendously projective sound
  • Gut Frame system fine tunes gut tension for a fully customizable tone and is easily detachable for changing heads
  • Buzz Killer Mutes give you total control over the sensitivity of the rattle of the Fieldstar
  • Snare drum holder allows for easy transitions from straight to angle playing surfaces
  • Low-profile strainer reduces snag potential and narrows the snare’s footprint
  • Lightweight aluminum snare guards give your drum protection when place on rough surfaces
  • Magnesium edge rings reduce weight and hold-up under extreme batter head tension

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
