An absolutely stunning arrival, in fantastic sizes and a jaw dropping finish. This kit is the pinnacle of Tama's superb finishing and building process. If you are looking for something top end that's a little bit different this could be the one for you!The Tama Starclassic Bubinga Elite has created a completely new standard of sonic and visual excellence. Exquisitely grained outer-plies are carefully hand-selected for their extraordinary beauty and to ensure astonishing drum-to-drum consistency. Where different sections of woods or covering are joined, you can touch where each piece meets and experience the feeling of "seamlessness" found in no other drum. FeaturesShells - 8ply bubinga + 1 outer ply maple shell TT/FT:7mm BD:8mmAfrican bubinga wood is approximately 53% harder than maple and birch. Acoustically speaking, bubinga provides very sharp and aggressive attack combined with unbelievably rich and fat lowsTama bubinga shells are slightly thicker than their maple drums which they have determined allows the drums to speak its fullest. Minimum Shell ContactThe Tama designers never stop looking for new ways to increase drum resonance. Nothing is too small to consider because many minute improvements can add up to a signifcant difference in sound. Two good examples of this kind of exacting research are the replacement of the traditional metal badge with the new imprinted insignia and the small metal soundhole with one made of maple.Star-Cast Mounting SystemThe 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 to match the drum's shell hardware!Die-Cast HoopsHoops not only affect drum tuning; they also affect drum sound. That's why the choice of hoops was so important to the designers of Tama's professional drum lines. For the Starclassic Series, they choose 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.Claw HooksThe Starclassic Bubinga Elite's claw hooks feature rubber spacers that help protect wood hoops from damage. The hooks and hoops work as one unit and won't separate or rattle, even on loose tunings.Bass Drum Spur BracketTAMA's MSB30 die-cast bracket holds the spur bracket securely, thanks to the same powerful hinge mechanism used on the MTB30 mounting bracket.Unique memory markers found on the folding spur bracket help simplify set up.Air Cushioned Floor Tom LegsStarclassic's Air Pocket; rubber feet feature a special air chamber, that eliminates the transfer of vibrations to the floor (which chokes sustain and sound) and absorbs shock for better playing.Hold Tight; Washers The Hold Tight washer is a totally unique invention: a non-loosening washer! Its cup-shaped stainless steel washer contains a rubber ring so the tension rod pushes both the cup washer and the rubber ring. Normally, vibrations will eventually loosen the tension rod. But the softness of Hold Tight's rubber ring keeps it in contact with both the tension rod and the hoop at all times and maintains friction between them, so that tension is always preserved.8 x 7, 10 x 8 & 12 x 9 Toms16 x 14 Floor Tom22 x 18 Bass Drum8ply Bubinga + 1 outer ply Maple shells TT/FT:7mm BD:8mmGold Banded Gunmetal Lacquer FinishStarcast Mounting SystemBrushed Chrome HardwareDiecast HoopsWooden AirholesAir Cushioned Floor Tom LegsHold Tight WashersIncludes 3 x Tama Tom HoldersMade In Japan9/10 Condition - Bass Drum Pedal marks on back hoop, some original factory heads, and some replaced but played G2's With a new set of heads this kit will look good as new.
