The Starclassic Walnut / Birch combination is the result of extensive experimentation by Tama to find exceptional drum tone. The tom shell is constructed from 6mm 4-ply European birch, with a 2-ply inner layer of American black walnut. This combination provides superior quality warmth and richness, with the solid attack of birch for uncompromising tone. The die-cast hoops wrap it up nicely to bring controlled sustain and more clarity to the overall tone. The Starclassic Walnut Birch tom produces a focused attack that would bring great distinction to any musical ensemble.
Tama's die-cast hoops are some of the best hoops around. Manufactured by injecting molten zinc into molds, they are denser and more consistent in shape than triple-flanged hoops. This careful process helps refine a crisp, clear, and focused attack, with powerful rimshots. Not only do they provide a superior playing experience, they also provide more consistent tuning because of the greater contact between the tension rods and hoop.
With up to 40 years within the drum industry, Tama has developed a unique brand that prioritises both great tonal quality and outstanding aesthetics. With an eclectic list of artists on their roster, Tama has consistently delivered high-quality percussion to a multitude of musicians over the years. This extensive list includes the likes of Animals as Leaders Drummer Matt Garstka, Anthrax's Charlie Benante, ZZ Top's Frank Beard and Kendrick Lamar's Rico Nichols. Tama drums accentuate each individual's specific nuanced style of playing and incidentally give the player unparalleled tone and versatility.
