Eye-catching Shell Pack with Powerful Sound

TAMA's Starclassic Maple/Birch Lacquer drums take the basic design of their acclaimed Starclassic Maple series and put a cool twist on it. These drums feature the combination of a more mellow maple with the stiffness of birch. The results equal a supremely dynamic sound that features the characteristic warmth of maple shells enhanced by the hearty bite of birch plies. Beyond that, Starclassic Maple/Birch Lacquer drums come complete with all of the outstanding hardware that sets the Starclassic series apart. This includes TAMA's die-cast hoops and Star-Cast mounting system — plus, each shell comes outfitted with quality Evans heads.

Premium die-cast zinc hoops provide consistent tuning and superior tone

Did you know that the hoops on your drum affect far more than your tuning stability? That's why TAMA created premium die-cast zinc hoops for their Starclassic Maple/Birch toms. Manufactured via a high-density injection molding process, rather than a conventionally stamped triple-flanged hoop method, these extremely consistent hoops provide uniform bolt contact and give your Starclassic shell pack a crisper attack with added high-end resonance.

Evans durability and consistency

The toms included in this Starclassic shell pack feature Evans G1 coated batter and TAMA clear single-ply Power Craft II resonant heads, while the bass drum makes use of an EQ4 clear batter head. The G1 provides a blend of sustain, warmth, and sensitivity via a 10-mil single-ply film. Exclusive 10-mil single-ply film construction imbues the EQ4 with durability and a woody attack that speaks — both live and in the studio. All of these drumheads are versatile, making them an ideal choice for drummers who switch between a variety of styles.

Cymbals, snare, and stands not included.

TAMA crafts top-shelf drums for top-shelf drummers

TAMA drums are top sellers here at Sweetwater, with good reason. TAMA builds their drums with painstaking attention to detail, precision, and care in order to deliver the best drums possible. And countless touring drummers and session aces, as diverse as Anika Nilles and Metallica's Lars Ulrich, swear by them. Yet, in addition to crafting superb drums, TAMA is determined to innovate on the hardware front. Their Iron Cobra Coil bass drum pedals are among the world's most popular, and you'll find that cymbal stands, snare stands, and drum thrones from TAMA are just as heavy-duty and reliable.
