Eye-catching Shell Pack with Powerful Sound

TAMA's Starclassic Walnut/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 mellower birch with the stiffness of walnut. This results in a supremely dynamic sound that features the characteristic warmth of birch shells enhanced by the heavier attack of walnut plies. Beyond that, Starclassic Walnut/Birch Lacquer drums come complete with all of the outstanding hardware that sets the Starclassic series apart. This includes TAMA's die-cast hoops, Star-Cast mounting system, and Quick-Lock tom brackets, 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 Walnut/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 solid sound

The toms included in this Starclassic shell pack feature Evans Genera G2 2-ply clear batter heads and Genera G1 1-ply clear bottom heads, while the bass drum makes use of an EQ4 clear batter head. The G2 sports two plies, 7-mil each, and delivers an excellent blend of sustain, depth, and attack, while offering consistency and durability. The G1 offers 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 three of these drumheads are versatile, making them a great choice for drummers who switch between a variety of styles.

TAMA crafts top-shelf drums for top-shelf drummers

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, as well. 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.

Excellent drums Tama does it again.

I was not sure about the color at first but wow when you see them in person they definitely make a statement. These sound good right of the box it comes with G2 batters so they are good to go unless you want to replace the stock heads. I went with Evans UV2 batters and Evan EC Reso's and these drums sound great. Sweetwater sales and service are excellent ordered the drums on December 21st and received them Christmas eve what a great present to open up in the morning.

I absolutley love them!

These are my favorite drums I have ever owned. In fact I am selling the recording customs I played for the last 20 years. They are great on quieter gigs since the tone opens up at low volumes, also louder gigs they gave a punchy sound when ya whack em. Easy to tune up and hold tune pretty well. I also love the memory locks making for quick set up. They also look so great!
