For our Starclassic Series, we choose zinc die-cast hoops, which are manufactured by injecting molten metal into molds. That's why the choice of hoops was so important to the designers of TAMA's professional drum lines. Last but not least, Star-Cast is now plated to match your drum's shell hardware!ĭie-Cast Hoops: Hoops not only affect drum tuning they also affect drum sound. In addition, a switch to aluminum provides lighter weight and even truer tonal vibration. A streamlined design makes it easier to position toms closer together for greater ease and comfort than ever before. Star-Cast Mounting System(US.PAT.NO.5454288): The Star-Cast Mounting System has always provided maximum resonance and stability for TAMA's pro-drums. This size provides thunderous low end combined with maximum resonance. TAMA's new Ultra Deep bass drum size is now available. Shell Depths (Starclassic Maple): To achieve the sound and response you are looking for, Starclassic Maple offer a choice of six different depths ranging from the shallow Hyper-Drive to the cavernous X-tra Deep. Starclassic shells utilize maple, the most popular shell material today because of its warm clear sound. This combination results in a thinner shell that's actually stronger than others of greater thickness. 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). However, less thickness often equals less strength. All Maple Shells For the optimum transfer of vibrations from the head to the shell, a thinner shell is better.
