Tama Maple Tom - 12 X 07 Pink Chamagne Sparkle

Starclassic shells utilise maple for its warm and clear sound. For optimum transfer of vibrations from head to the shell, a thinner shell is better, however, less thickness often results in less strength. Instead of reducing plies to make a thinner shell, Tama has slimmed down each ply then cross laminated them into a 6 ply 5mm thick shell (8 ply 7mm bass drum). This combination provides a thinner shell that is actually stronger than others of greater thickness.

The shells are fitted with Zinc Die-Hoops which are manufactured by injecting molten metal into moulds. They have more density and are more consistent in shape than triple-flanged hoops, offering a crisper attack, clear and resonant highs and much more powerful rim shots. Die-Cast hoops make tuning more consistent and easier to achieve because the tension bolts always contact the hoop properly.

Star-Cast Mounting System

Tama's Star-Cast mounting system provides maximum resonance and stability in a streamlined design that allows closer tom positioning for greater ease and comfort. Aluminium construction provides lighter weight and even truer tonal vibration.

Quick-Lock Tom Brackets

Tama Quick-Lock Tom Brackets provide a fast and easy way to setup and breakdown your kit. Additionally, once the drum is positioned on legs or a tom stand there is no need to attach and adjust separate memory locks to save the setting. By simply sliding the switch on the tom bracket, the bracket separates into two parts. When the drum is removed for breakdown, the ''memory lock'' portion remains on the tom stand or floor leg tom, saving your positioning and making the next set up quick and easy. Quick-Lock brackets also employ rubber lining for the purpose of reducing vibration transference to the tom stands or floor tom legs; further isolating the drums and enhancing resonance.

Zinc Die-Hoops manufactured by injecting molten metal into moulds, have more density and are more consistent in shape than triple-flanged hoops, offering crisper attack, clear and resonant highs and much more powerful rim shots. Die-Cast hoops make tuning more consistent and easier to achieve because the tension bolts always contact the hoop properly.
