Shell Kits

TAMA have calculated the perfect ratio of walnut to birch that produces a heightened low and mid frequency roundness that complements the clear attack and high end snap of birch. A familiar, but uniquely different tone from Tama sounds of the past. The Starclassic series is a statement of TAMA's passion for building high-quality drums, and their wisdom and pursuit to deliver refined and unmistakable sounds. Starclassic Walnut/Birch defines TAMA's commitment to evolving the drum sounds of tomorrow and inspiring the contemporary drummer. Bearing Edges - TAMA has worked extensively to design the most functional shape for the drum head and edge. This traditional TAMA design ultimately results in a tighter fit between the drum head and bearing edge, which optimizes the resonance of the drums – a crucial part of providing the signature TAMA sound. Star-Cast Mounting System – Providing maximum resonance and stability, TAMA’s Star-Cast mounting system is a straight-forward design that allows you to position your toms exactly as you need them for total playing ease and comfort. These mounts are made from aluminium to reduce weight and maximize tonal vibrations, and they’re even plated to match your drum’s shell hardware! Quick-Lock Tom Brackets – The cutting-edge Quick-Lock tom brackets enable fast and simple setup and pack down, and the integrated “memory lock” switch allows you to find the perfect positions of your drums and save the ‘settings’ to eliminate the hassle of perfecting your setup every time. These brackets have the added benefit of reducing vibrations transferring into tom legs and hardware. Swivel-Wing Tom Holder – This tom holder features TAMA’s omni-ball system for allowing unparalleled adjustment of the tom position. Air Cushioned Floor Tom Legs – The Starclassic’s Air Pocket™ floor tom legs use a special air chamber at the foot which eliminates vibrations transferring into the floor, and absorbs shock to improve playing performance. Die-Cast Hoops - Starclassic drums feature die-cast hoops, which is more dense and consistent in shape than triple flanged hoops. The tension bolts always contact the hoop properly, which results in sharper attack, a clear and resonant tone and incredibly powerful rim shots.
