The Tama Superstar Classic 22 Coffee Fade is a high-quality shell pack from Tama taking inspiration from arguably Tamas most famous and most influential drum kit the Superstar. The kit was known for its ground-breaking design superior build quality crisp tone and clear projection. Tamas new take at the Superstar features carefully selected maple shells offering a rich warm tonal character with brilliant mid and high frequencies. The shells are constructed with tone in mind focused intently on shell moulding and the bearing edge shape that gives the drums their incredible ringing sustain and powerful projection. The shells are mounted using Tamas Star-Mount system ensuring that the wood is allowed to project fully and resonate naturally meaning it isnt muffled or muted at all. The kit carries some of the classic features that the original Superstar series had such as the classic Tama T-shape badge and streamlined low-mass lugs that feature a simple design thats reminiscent of the 70s style. Please note: Cymbals are for illustration purposes only and are not included in this purchase. Maple Shells The Tama Superstar Classic drum kit features 6-ply 5mm shells on the rack toms the floor tom and the snare whilst the bass drum features a thicker 8-ply 7mm shell for a fatter heavier tone. The heavy aggressive thud that the bass drum gives off perfectly contrasts the incredible singing warmth from the rest of the kit. Maple when compared to other popular tonewoods used in drum constructed is a soft wood with a less dense grain pattern. This allows for higher frequencies increased warmth and incredibly powerful projection. To complete the shells is an attractive gradient Coffee Fade design. Tamas Star-Mount System The Tama Superstar Classic Shell Pack features Tamas Star-Mount mounting system designed to ensure optimal resonance from your drums. This is achieved by providing support at four different points on the batter side hoop of a drum.
