Tama Star Walnut Bubinga 10x8" Tom Dark Green Cordia

The Tama Star Walnut Bubinga 10x8" Tom Dark Green Cordia is the result of decades of intense research, innovation, and testing. A Walnut/Bubinga combination delivers a refined sound. The crisp attack and high-frequency resonance of birch complement the low-to-mid bodily warmth of the walnut, creating a musical sound that's unmistakenly Tama.

With ingenious and original hardware designs, the shells resonate fully and with purpose. Features such as the Star-Cast Mounting System, Swivel-Wing Tom Holder, and Air-Cushioned Floor Tom Legs all help this kit to sing.

Tasty Shells

Bubinga wood, which TAMA introduced to the market, has become increasingly popular as a drum shell material. Because of their ultra-high density, Bubinga shells provide rich, fat low end as well as deep, dark tones.
STAR Bubinga shells are crafted to be much thinner than their Starclassic counterparts. All the shells are 4.5mm thick, including the bass drums and snare drums. These thinner shells allow the Bubinga material to vibrate more freely, which greatly enhances resonance. All STAR Bubinga shells feature 9mm thick Sound Focus Rings (SFR), which provide clear projection and sustain for a distinct sound, as well as reinforcement.

Bearing Edges

The very peak of the bearing edge has been rounded towards the center of the edge, 3.5mm to be exact, instead of being sharp and at the very out edge like other brands, this allows for great head-to-shell contact which means you get more vibrations in the shell giving you more and more tone instantly.

Hold Tight

Hold Tight washers are designed to prevent the tension rods from loosening. They consist of a cup-shaped stainless steel washer that contains a rubber ring.
Vibration caused by striking a drum creates space between tension rods and hoops, which can cause the tension rods to loosen over time. The rubber rings on our Hold Tight washers help absorb the impact of vibration and keep tension rods in constant contact with the hoops to prevent loosening. A fantastic idea if you go for that lower register and find your heads, especially during a sweaty full-power gig, to be flappy and growly after 3 songs, this almost eliminates the issue.

Hoops

Star drums feature die-cast zinc hoops which are denser and have a more consistent shape due to their manufacturing process of being molded and not bent into shape like triple-flanged hoops.

They also provide a much more verbal attack with lots more projection and a focused tone. Die-cast also make tuning a lot easier due to their density and consistency.

Quick Lock

For a faster setup and easy breakdown, Tama has developed a genius idea, the Quick-Lock system. Once you have set your position, to break down you simply flick the lock switch, and away you go, no need to go around your drum kit and tighten memory locks. Rubber linings reduce vibration transference to the tom stands or floor tom legs; further isolating the drums and enhancing resonance.
