STAR is the new flagship line from TAMA Drums. It takes the knowledge and research we have cultivated for the Starclassic series to the next level, re-examining every detail to improve shell resonance. STAR Bubinga has a much thinner shell than Starclassic Bubinga. Additionally, each shell is equipped with 9mm thick Sound Focus Rings (SFR) for structural support. This shell configuration provides clear projection and resonance to highlight Bubinga's distinctive sound.
