For the optimum transfer of vibrations from the drum head to shell, a thinner shell is better. However thinner shells often result in less strength. Instead of simply using fewer plies to produce thinner shells, Tama slims down each ply and then cross laminates them into a 6-ply, 5mm thick shell (8-ply, 7mm bass drum). This innovative process results in a thinner shell that's actually stronger than others of greater thickness and produces a warm, clear sound with a powerful character and rich resonance.
From the Star-Cast Mounting System to the single small lugs, every aspect of Starclassic was tailored to combine with Tama's ideal of the bare-minimum of shell contact. Instead of metal badges riveted to the shell, Starclassic shells utilise a maple air-hole cap and a logo that is imprinted onto the shell before the final finish is applied. These features also contribute to Starclassic's rich, timeless appearance.
Tama quick-lock tom brackets provide a fast and easy way to setup and breakdown your kit. Additionally, once the drum is positioned on legs or a tom stand there is no need to attach and adjust separate memory locks to save the setting. By simply sliding the switch on the bracket, it will separate into two parts, keeping the ''memory lock'' portion on the stand or leg, saving your positioning and making the next set up quick and easy.
Quick-Lock brackets also employ rubber lining for the purpose of reducing vibration transference to the tom stands or floor tom legs; further isolating the drums and enhancing resonance.
Zinc die-cast hoops manufactured by injecting molten metal into moulds, have more density and are more consistent in shape than triple flanged hoops, offering crisper attack, clear and resonant highs and much more powerful rim shots. Die-Cast hoops make tuning more consistent and easier to achieve because the tension bolts always contact the hoop properly.
The claw hooks stabilise the wooden bass drum hoops, keeping them in place no matter how hard you play. The claws feature built-in rubber lining which help protect the wood and maintain tuning even during long performances. The rubber spaces also help protect the claw hooks and tension bolts from damage when the bass drum is placed on the ground.
The 14'' x 14'' floor tom is equipped with Tama's air pocket rubber feet which are designed with a special air chamber. This unique design absorbs shock and helps eliminate that transfer of vibrations to the floor, which results in an enhanced and more comfortable playing experience.
