The Tama Starclassic Maple 24" 3pc Shell Pack combines the traditional tone of a maple shell with a distinctive aesthetic that is sure to set the drummer as the focal piece of any performance. With a meticulously applied exterior finish, the Tama Starclassic Maple kit is as attractive as it is tonally versatile. Dynamic by its very nature, the maple tonewood allows the drums to cut through the mix and provide a concise transience whilst not sounding overbearing.
With maple shells the drums project smoother and warm tones with boosted bass and even mid and high frequencies. This specific frequency projection enables the drums to attain clarity within the mix without being overbearing. The transient sound of the snare makes it applicable to a wide range of different genres making it versatile and encourages a multi-purpose use. The Starclassic kit features Tama's innovative Star-Mount system which maximises the drums' resonance, also providing support at four separate points on the batter side hoop of the drums.
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 utilises 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. The toms also feature Tama's Starclassic air pocket rubber feet which are designed with a special air chamber that absorbs shock and helps eliminate the transfer of vibrations to the floor, creating an enhanced and comfortable playing experience.
Tama's zinc die-cast hoops are manufactured by injecting molten metal into moulds, creating a dense hoop that's more consistent in shape than triple-flanged hoops. This design provides the drums with a crisp attack, clear, resonating highs and powerful rim shots. Die-cast hoops make tuning more consistent and easier to achieve because the tension bolts always contact the hoop properly. Tama's 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 helps 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.
