Tama Starclassic Walnut/birch 4pc Shell Pack Surf Green Silk

The Tama Starclassic Walnut/Birch 4pc Shell Pack is the result of decades of intense research, innovation, and testing. A Walnut/Birch 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.

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.

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.

Bass Drum Spurs

These spurs have been designed to absorb impact from when the bass drum is being played to achieve they have used soft high mass rubber feet, the spikes have also been separated from the spurs via a 2-piece construction and encased with rubber to again absorb shock and to add to a goal of as much resonance in the bass drum shell as possible.
