Tone and feel

The Solid Mahogany shell gives a distinct tone character with a warm low end and a round, musical tone. The wider snare bed reinforces a vintage-style character, and the precision-machined shell with its rounded bearing edge makes the drum easy to tune while ensuring the head sits in optimal contact with the shell. The die-cast hoops focus the sound and add power to rimshots.

Snare mechanism

The drum features the Linear-Drive snare mechanism, the same acclaimed design also found on the Starphonic series, among others. The ratchet-type snare adjustment offers close-set positions on both sides, and the floating snare cord mount keeps the snare wires balanced and in place even under hard playing.

Construction

The shell measures 14x6 inches and is built from a single piece of solid mahogany with an Oiled Natural Mahogany finish. The hoops are die-cast, and the drum has 8 tension rods fitted with Hold Tight washers that prevent the rods from loosening on their own.

Options

This version (TLH146S-OMH) comes with hand-made inlays on the outside at no extra cost. A version with inlays on the inside of the Sound Focus Ring is also available as an option (TLH146D-OMH).

Who it's for

A snare drum for musicians who appreciate quality and want a distinct tonal character rather than a standard sound.
