Innovative shell design: Starclassic Walnut/Birch
All Tama Starclassic Walnut/Birch Series shells are a hybrid of American walnut and European birch. The Bass Drum consists of a total of 7 plies (5 plies birch + 2 inner plies walnut), while the Toms consist of 6 plies (4 plies birch + 2 inner plies walnut). After long research, Tama was able to achieve the most modern sound with this combination, covering all styles of music. Predominant in this sound is especially the high bass content, caused by the two layers of walnut. Birch wood gives the complex frequency mix a concise clarity and an assertive attack. In addition, the shells are lacquered on the inside, which further focuses the sound.
Starclassic shell hardware: Built for professionals
The die-cast zinc tension hoops are exceedingly solid and elevate the sound. In addition, they optimize the contact between the screw and the tension hoop, ensuring tuning reliability and stability. The Bass Drum jaws of the Starclassic Walnut/Birch drums have rubber pads that protect the tension hoop and improve the resonance behavior of the Bass Drum.
The floor tom legs are air-sprung and the time-tested Starcast Mounting System ensures that the shells vibrate unhindered and the tone unfolds perfectly. The Starclassic Lugs are extremely stable and perfect for everyday touring. From the factory, the Toms and floor toms are strung with Evans G2 clear heads. On the Bass Drum is an Evans EQ4 skin with damping ring, so that nothing stands in the way of immediate playing fun.
