PRE-ORDER
We will ship to you as soon as we receive stock
An early Tama original the Gong Bass Drum uses a 20" head-mounted Tympani style on a 20" shell with no bottom head. This design produces a thunderous low-end sound with excellent sustain characteristic of the large Taiko drums of ancient Japan.
Good Wood
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.
Bearing Edge
The vibration produced by hitting a drum transfers to the shell through the contact point between the drumhead and the shell. Therefore, the shape of the bearing edges is one of the most important factors in a drum's sound.
The drums feature a bearing edge shape as shown in the diagram. Its peak is rounder than Tama's traditional bearing edge. This rounded peak provides more contact between the drumhead and shell, allowing vibration to travel from the drumhead to the shell more efficiently. Also, the peak position of the edge is 3.5mm from the shell's outer surface, which further improves contact between the drumhead and the drum.
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.
