STAR is the flagship of TAMA Drums. It takes the knowledge and research we developed for the Starclassic series to a new level by rethinking every detail to improve shell resonance. The "Solid Core Ply" of the STAR Maple shells is a new design for this series. This unique shell offers the warm, open tone of maple combined with the full, warm sound of a solid layered shell. This three-piece configuration includes a 20"x14" bass drum, providing a super versatile kit for the intermediate drummer that can be used in a variety of performance styles.
