Key Features
Product Ref: 54900
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.
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.
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.
Evans® heads are featured on all Starclassic drums (except bass drum front heads). On the rack and floor toms, Genera G2 2-ply clear batter heads and Genera G1 1-ply clear bottom heads provide both durability and solid sound. Starclassic bass drums are fitted with Genera EQ4 clear batter heads.
Starclassic Bubinga's claw hooks feature rubber spacers that help protect wood hoops from damage. The hooks and hoops work as one unit and won't separate or rattle, even on loose tunings.
Starclassic's Air Pocket rubber feet feature a special air chamber that eliminates the transfer of vibrations to the floor and absorbs shock for better playing
