PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Maximum Sound Potential Walnut has long been favoured for its reliability and long-term stability for furniture. Tama has taken those characteristics and put them to work with the Tama Star Walnut. Tonally the shells produce a warm fat sound. But theres also an enhanced high-end for cutting through and adding more pop to make your grooves sing. The Japanese Sen models also feature outer plies of Japanese Sen which creates a uniquely striking aesthetic for the most eye-catching performances. Tamas walnut shells feature zinc die-cast hoops. These high-grade hoops provide greater tuning stability while making the drum sound more focused by controlling overtones. To maximise the sound potential from the shells the Tama Star drums feature a more rounded bearing edge peak. This makes a big difference to the attack because it provides more contact between the drumhead and shell. Tama also positioned the edge 3.5mm from the shells outer surface to bring the drumhead and drum together even closer. This gives you the most responsive experience possible giving you the satisfaction of every stroke - no matter how subtle. Minimum Shell Interference Getting the most out of the shells has been pivotal to the Star Walnut design. After all every piece of hardware attached to a shell affects the resonance and sound produced by the drums. One way to minimise this was to design the lugs for minimum shell contact. These feature an extremely low mass bridge construction ensuring maximum resonance is obtainable. The bass drum claw hooks follow the same principle. By simply floating on the bass drum hoops there is less interference with the shell sound. The decision to have an imprinted badge and small wooden air hole grommet further reduce the weight of material on the shell thus improving the overall resonance and sound. Enhanced Resonance Its important that toms are mounted with careful consideration to minimise stress and strain on the shells and hoops. The Super Resonant Mounting System is designed to achieve that goal. Utilising three contact points Tama were able to reduce the stress on the shell and hoop dramatically. This is due to the third point being as far as possible on the bottom hoop meaning less support is required when setting your desired angle. There are also rubber contact points between the shell and mounting system to prevent the transference of vibrations to the tom stands. The bass drum spurs and tom legs both adopt the same method of impact absorption. This is done through carefully designing the shape angle and size of the rubber feet. This allows for resonance from the drum to remain completely natural and unhindered. Both designs make your experience more comfortable and responsive when playing the drums. The Forefront of Innovation Tama have often been at the forefront of hardware innovation and by now you know the Star Series is at the pinnacle of that vision. Equipped to the Star-Cast Mounting System Tama quick-lock tom brackets make setting up your toms easier than ever before. Once the drum is positioned it saves your drum position without the need for separate memory locks. The quick-lock tom bracket also features rubber lining to isolate the drums and enhance resonance.
