Figured Maple Shells The Tama Starclassic Maple 22″ Shell Pack features Tamas figured maple shells offering thinner shells with enhanced strength and durability. For the optimum transfer of vibrations from the drum head to shell a thinner shell is better. However thinner shells often result in less strength. Instead of simply using fewer plies to produce thinner shells Tama slims down each ply and then cross laminates them into a 6-ply 5mm thick shell (8-ply 7mm bass drum). This innovative process results in a thinner shell thats actually stronger than others of greater thickness and produces a warm clear sound with a powerful character and rich resonance. Minimum Shell Contact From the star-cast mounting system to the single small lugs every aspect of Starclassic was tailored to combine with Tamas 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 Starclassics rich timeless appearance. Quick-Lock Tom Brackets 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 Tamas 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. Die-Cast Hoops and Claw Hooks Tamas zinc die-cast hoops are manufactured by injecting molten metal into moulds creating a dense hoop thats 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. Tamas 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.
