The Tama ML52HXZBN Superstar HD Maple Shell Set Bright Orange Metallic is a 6-piece drum shell set comprising of a 22"x20" bass drum, 10"x6.5" & 12"x7" tom toms, 16"x14" floor toms, a 14"x5.5" snare drum, 2x MC69 tom attachment, a hardware kit and a bright orange metallic finish. For more than 10 years the Superstar has managed to uphold its status through innovative design, grandiose sound performance, world famous Tama hardware and above all a great price.
In contrast to the relatively tiny alterations in previous models, the 2015 Tama Superstar Custom Hyperdrive kits are experiencing a complete makeover. The biggest difference is the switch from shells made from birch to maple wood. Maple sounds warmer than birch with a more balanced high-mids relationship and more highlighted bass range. The optimal sound experience of the Superstar tom shells and the snare drum is provided by the 6 layers of maple measuring 5mm thick and the bass drum is 7mm thick consisting of 8 layers. Another specialty for all Tama fans is the aluminium Star-Cast Mounting System from the high-end Starclassic series, delivering even better resonating characteristics and optimising the sound behaviour. Black nickel hardware creates a cool look matching the shell hardware.
As with its predecessors, the Superstar Custom Hyperdrive includes a complete hardware package consisting of two cymbal boom stands, a snare stand, hi-hat stand as well as an Iron Cobra pedal. All feature double bracket construction and are extremely robust and stable.
