Tama Superstar Classic 22'' 3pc Shell Pack, Transparent Black Burst Overview
The Tama Superstar Classic 22'' 3pc Shell Pack is a high-quality shell pack from Tama, taking inspiration from arguably Tama's most famous and most influential drum kit, the Superstar. The kit was known for its ground-breaking design, superior build quality, crisp tone and clear projection. The Tama Superstar classic features carefully selected maple shells, offering a rich, warm tonal character with brilliant mid and high frequencies.
The shells are constructed with tone in mind, focused intently on shell moulding. Whilst the bearing edge shape gives the drums their incredible ringing sustain and powerful projection. The maple shells are mounted using Tama's Star-Mount system, ensuring that the wood allows for an impressive projection and optimum ring, with a tone that isn't muffled or muted at all. The kit carries some of the classic features that the original Superstar series had, such as the classic Tama T-shape badge and streamlined low-mass lugs that feature a simple design that's reminiscent of the 70's style.
Please note: Cymbals, snare and hardware are not included.

View Full DescriptionMaple Shells
The Tama Superstar Classic Shell Pack features 6-ply, 5mm shells on the rack toms, the floor tom and the snare, whilst the bass drum features a thicker 8-ply, 7mm shell for a fatter, heavier tone. The heavy, aggressive thud that the bass drum gives off perfectly contrasts the incredible singing warmth from the rest of the kit. Maple, when compared to other popular tonewoods used in drum construction, is a soft wood with a less dense grain pattern. This allows for higher frequencies, increased warmth and incredibly powerful projection. The shells are finished in a striking Transparent Black Burst.
Tama's Star-Mount System and Powercraft II heads offer clear drum tones
The Tama Superstar Classic Shell Pack features Tama's Star-Mount mounting system, designed to ensure optimal resonance from your drums. This is achieved by providing support at four different points on the batter side hoop of a drum. The bracket bolts slide from left to right, making it far easier to position your rack toms closer together without them making contact. The Superstar classic has been crafted with the purpose of playing efficiency. This kit comes complete with Powercraft II drum heads to ensure a clear drum sound can easily be achieved. Specifically, the bass drum features a ring muffler reducing the need for extra muffling and allowing optimum tone control.
