DIAMOND DUST IS NOW IN STOCK
Starclassic Performer B/B EFX
PERFORMANCE, STYLE, SOUND
A musician's desire to express him or herself is not limited to drum size and sound. The aesthetics they choose for their set is also an extension of who they are.
The Starclassic Performer B/B EFX Series features a Birch-Bubinga shell with a sweet and fat sound that has a serious punch. It comes in a wide variety of different patterns for the covering sheet. We have lined up eight different covered finishes in total: two durble painted wrap finishes, five different sparkling Glass Glitter finishes, and vintage White Silk covering. These choices, in concert with the drums themselves, allow you customize your equipment and set it apart from any other. The new-design Star-Cast Mounting System and Tom Holder allow your individual sound to come out to enhance your performance. At every level, these meticulously crafted drums have been designed to allow you to express who you are. - Starclassic Performer B/B EFX.
Shells (Bubinga + Birch)
TT/FT:4ply Birch + inner 3ply Bubinga, 6mm
BD:5ply Birch + inner 3ply Bubinga, 8mm
By using bubinga wood for the inner layer of the birch shell, TAMA has created a new chapter in the Starclassic series.
Hybrid tone, which exhibits the focused attack of birch paired with the enhanced lows of bubinga.
Star-Cast Mounting Systems ( US PAT.NO.5454288)
The Star-Cast Mounting System has always provided maximum resonance and stability for TAMA's pro-drums. Now we've improved it. 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 your drum's shell hardware!
Sliding Tom Holder
Starclassic Performer's completely redesigned tom-holder expands setting flexibility with a sliding connector unit that moves back and forth up to 50mm (2 inches). Simply unloosening one bolt allows you to adjust the proximity of the tom toms. Now any sized drum can be exactly positioned with ease!
Die-Cast Hoops
Hoops 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 our Starclassic Series, we chose 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 Hooks(Starclassic Performer B/B)
Starclassic Performer B/B'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 Bracket(Starclassic Performer B/B)
TAMA'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 Pocket Rubber Feet
Starclassic'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.
Evans Heads
Evans heads are featured on all Starclassic drums (except bass drum front heads). On the rack and floor toms, Genera G2 2-ply clear batter heads and Genera G1 1-ply clear bottom heads provide both durability and solid sound. Starclassic bass drums are fitted with Genera EQ4 clear batter heads.
