The Tama Starclassic Walnut/Birch Shell is the result of decades of intense research, innovation, and testing. A Walnut/Birch combination delivers a refined sound. The crisp attack and high-frequency resonance of birch complement the low-to-mid bodily warmth of the walnut, creating a musical sound that's unmistakenly Tama.
With ingenious and original hardware designs, the shells resonate fully and with purpose. Features such as the Star-Cast Mounting System, Swivel-Wing Tom Holder, and Air-Cushioned Floor Tom Legs all help this kit to sing.
Tasty Shells
The hybrid shell exhibits the focused attack of birch paired with the firm and warm Walnut. This sound is not only punchy but sweet and mellow. When you beat the drums once, an excellent tone will surround you. The Walnut/Birch hybrid shell will make your drums come to life with a state-of-the-art tone and feel.
Strainer
Simple, smooth, compact and quiet, the MCS70A feature a shaft with a special rubber covering that eliminates noise when the strainer is in the off position.
Bearing Edges
The very peak of the bearing edge has been rounded towards the center of the edge, 3.5mm to be exact, instead of being sharp and at the very out edge like other brands, this allows for great head-to-shell contact which means you get more vibrations in the shell giving you more and more tone instantly.
Hold Tight
Hold Tight washers are designed to prevent the tension rods from loosening. They consist of a cup-shaped stainless steel washer that contains a rubber ring. Vibration caused by striking a drum creates space between tension rods and hoops, which can cause the tension rods to loosen over time. The rubber rings on our Hold Tight washers help absorb the impact of vibration and keep tension rods in constant contact with the hoops to prevent loosening. A fantastic idea if you go for that lower register and find your heads, especially during a sweaty full-power gig, to be flappy and growly after 3 songs, this almost eliminates the issue.
Hoops
Star drums feature die-cast zinc hoops which are denser and have a more consistent shape due to their manufacturing process of being molded and not bent into shape like triple-flanged hoops.
They also provide a much more verbal attack with lots more projection and a focused tone. Die-cast also make tuning a lot easier due to their density and consistency.
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.
Die-cast hoops
made from zinc, these hoops are here to stay. Injected into mould, these hoops have increased density and are more consistent than the standard triple-flanged design. They also focus the tone and offer more consistent tuning thanks to the connection between tension bolt and hoop - something pivotal to find and holding a great tone. The die-cast design enhances the attack of the drum too, allowing for brilliant highs and powerful rimshots that cut through any setting.
