Tasteful Turquoise

This Tama Starclassic Maple rack tom features a striking Turquoise Pearl finish to deliver a classy flash of colourful style.

Bringing a crystallised appearance to the kit, the rich deep turquoise colour is speckled into a pearlescent finish to deliver a stand out aesthetic.

The turquoise pearl finish is perfectly complemented by the all chrome hardware which ties together brilliantly the shimmering look of the shell.

Plus, this Turquoise Pearl finish is only available in the UK at PMT. No other UK stores have this kit so make sure you snap it up while you can!

Thin Maple Shells

This Tama Starclassic Yesteryear shell is constructed from 100% maple that has been crafted into super strong and brilliantly resonant thin shells.

Boasting a 6 ply / 5mm construction, the shell is characterised by its even amount of highs and mids combined with slightly warm lows - maple drums produce warm clear sound that’s ideal for a wide range of playing styles and performance settings.

Tama decided to use a thin shell construction for the Tama Starclassic series in order to optimise the resonance and vibration transfer from the drumhead to the shell.

Typically, thinner shells result in a loss of strength so although you may have improved sustain you have less durability.

To combat this, instead of using fewer plies to make the shells thinner, Tama slimmed down each ply and then cross laminated them to achieve thinner shells that are actually stronger than others that are thicker.

The result is a Tama drum drum shell that delivers superb sustain and rich resonant tone without jeopardising strength and durability.

Quick Lock Tom Brackets

One of the most ingenious features of the Tama Starclassic drums are the Quick Lock Tom Brackets - this distinctive, ground breaking feature allows for quick and easy set up and breakdown of the drum kit.

Offering robust stability and reliable hold for your rack toms and floor tom legs, the quick lock tom brackets provide strong support throughout your playing.

But the benefits don’t stop there, the quick lock tom brackets also work as integrated memory locks to provide quick and consistent setup every time.

Once the rack tom  is positioned on the stand, simply slide the switch on the tom bracket to make it separate into two parts.

The memory lock portion of the bracket then remains on the tom stand on floor leg and the drum can be removed ready to be replaced in exactly the same position next time round.

No need to add extra memory locks or to make adjustments with a separate drum key, simply slide and set.

Offering hidden acoustic benefits, the quick lock brackets are also rubber lined to provide isolation from the drum in order to enhance the resonance of the shell.

Star Cast Mounting System

Fitted with Tama’s Star Cast Mounting System which works in conjunction with the quick lock bracket to deliver maximum resonance and stability.

The sleek streamlined design of the star cast mount makes it much easier to position toms closer together to achieve a more comfortable and ergonomic playing set up.

The star cast mounting system attaches to the rack tom via 4 lug points to prevent direct contact with the shell which would detrimentally affect the drum sustain.

Tama have switch the construction of the mount to aluminium to provide a lighter weight and to offer even truer tonal vibration for hardware that significantly enhances the tone of the toms.

The result is strong support and precise placement for your rack toms without negatively impacting their sound.

Hold Tight Washers

As with all the kits in the Tama Starclassic series, this 10" x 7" rack tom is fitted with patented hold tight washers.

Featuring a totally unique design, these washers have a cup shaped stainless steel frame that contains a rubber ring to provide improved grip between the tension rod and the hoop.

Typically, vibrations loosen the tension rods which results in the drum becoming out of tune but here the softness of the hold tight rubber rings stays in constant contact with the tension rod and hoop to maintain friction that prevents loosening.

This enables your drum tuning to lock in longer to ensure a consistent tone from your first touch to your last hit.

Die-Cast Hoops

Fitted with zinc die cast hoops as standard, they provide easier and more consistent tuning.

Die-cast hoops are manufactured by injecting molten metal into moulds which results in a hoop with a consistent shape and more density than standard triple flanged hoops which are bent into shape from metal plates.

Offering a stronger shape, these die-cast hoops provide better contact with the tension rods to deliver much easier tuning that stays in place longer.

The die-cast hoops also provide a crisper attack, clearer resonant highs and more powerful rim shots to ensure your tom sound has added impact.

Evans Drumheads

Offering superior sound and reliable durability straight out of the box, this Starclassic Maple Yesteryear tom shell comes fitted with Evans Genera G2 2-ply clear batter heads over Genera G1 clear resonant heads drumheads as standard.
