Here we have one of the newer design Tama Starclassic Maple series drum kits featuring 6 ply Maple Tom and Floor Tom with one outer ply of Figured Maple (5mm) and 8 Ply Maple Bass Drums with one outer ply of Figured Maple (7mm).

Nearly 3 decades ago The Starclassic Maple drums ignited the thin-shell revolution, now the new Exotic finishes offer beautiful, one-of-a-kind exotic wood exteriors for a beautiful and premium look.

The kit here is a 4 piece set up finished in Figured Maple Gloss lacquer.

For the optimum transfer of vibrations from head to shell, a thinner shell is better. However, less thickness often equals less strength. Instead of simply making thinner shells by using fewer plies, TAMA slims down each ply and then cross laminates them into a 6ply 5mm thick shell (8ply 7mm bass drum). This combination results in a thinner shell that's actually stronger than others of greater thickness. Starclassic shells utilise maple, the most popular shell because of its warm clear sound.

The Star-Cast Mounting System has always provided maximum resonance and stability for TAMA's pro-drums. A streamlined design makes it easier to position toms closer together for greater ease and comfort than ever before. In addition, a switch to aluminum provides lighter weight and even truer tonal vibration. Last but not least, Star-Cast is now plated in the same finish as the lugs and hoops.

Al the Toms and Floor Toms come with Starcast hoops. These are zinc die-cast hoops, which are manufactured by injecting molten metal into molds. Die-cast hoops have more density and are more consistent in shape than triple flanged hoops, which are manufactured by bending metal plates. Die-cast hoops make tuning more consistent and easier to achieve because the tension bolts always contact the hoop properly. Drums fitted with die-cast hoops also offer crisper attack, clear and resonant highs and much more powerful rim shots.

The kit we have here features the new "Quick-Lock" tom brackets equipped on the Star-Cast Mounting System and on Starclassic floor toms which have some very distinctive, ground-breaking features.
First and foremost, as their name suggests, these brackets allow for quick and easy setup and breakdown. But the real unique feature of these brackets is that once the drum is positioned on a tom stand or floor tom legs, there is no need to attach and adjust separate memory locks to save the setting. By simply sliding the switch on the tom bracket, the bracket separates into two parts. When the drum is removed for breakdown, the "memory lock" portion remains on the tom stand or floor tom leg. This saves your positioning and makes the next set up quick and easy.

These Quick-Lock tom brackets have some hidden acoustic benefits as well. Following the same principle of reducing vibration transference from drums to the tom stands or floor tom legs, these tom brackets also employ rubber lining to further isolate the drums and enhance resonance.

This is a great opportunity to get a lovely Starclassic in a limited run finish.
