Walnut/birch shells
Tama's sound is distinctive. Known for their extensive use of a range of woods, they have arrived at this combination of body and clarity. Walnut is a rich, dark wood that is firm in its resonance, whereas birch is known for its focused sound and short sustain. The combination produces a 'sweet and mellow' sound that punches through you - and the mix.
They have also worked on the bearing edge, creating a point of contact between the shell and head that optimises resonance and tone. With the top of the bearing edge carved 2.5mm in, a rounded collar follows the head to create a conformed fit that is integral to Tama's legendary tone.
Star-Cast mounting system
These shells can resonate freely and safely with this system. Switching to aluminium, Tama has made the hardware lighter whilst also increasing the true vibration of the drums. Stability and resonance on each tom. It is also chrome plated, matching your hardware and creating a stunning look.
Quick-Lock tom brackets
Fitted on both the rack toms and Star-Cast tom mounting system, the Quick-Lock tom brackets do exactly as they say on the tin. They not only aid in acoustic resonance with rubber lining, but the brackets also tackle the problem of movement. Built into the bracket is a memory lock, forgoing the need to use extra hardware or remember to set it. Simply slide the switch when the optimal position is found and, voila. Split into two parts, the bracket saves this position and makes future set-ups quick and simple.
MC69 single tom attachment clamp
Able to be attached to any 15.9mm to 28.6mm diameter pipe, tom placements can be freely adjusted to suit the players needs in a space-saving fashion. An Omni-ball tom arm supports the tom safely and reliably. With the Omni-ball feature, set-ups can benefit from unencumbered movement and angle adjustments. All in a compact, functional design, it is also chrome plated.
Legs and spur designs
Trademarked Air Pocket rubber feet allow the floor tom to resonate without the dampening properties of the surface it's placed on. A small air chamber eliminates the transfer of vibrations through to the floor, avoiding choking and aiding in a greater playing experience. The bass drum spurs use Tama's MSB30 die-cast brackets, a sturdy hinge that includes memory markers to make set-ups quick and efficient.
Die-cast hoops
made from zinc, these hoops are here to stay. Injected into mould, these hoops have increased density and are more consistent than the standard triple-flanged design. They also focus the tone and offer more consistent tuning thanks to the connection between tension bolt and hoop - something pivotal to find and holding a great tone. The die-cast design enhances the attack of the drum too, allowing for brilliant highs and powerful rimshots that cut through any setting.
