What We Think

This Tama Starclassic Performer is part of a limited edition for 2017. The Stout Fade finish in this shell pack configuration is limited to a total of 10 snares. As with all Starclassic Performer sets, Tama uses a hybrid of Bubinga and Birch shells to make a drum sound, unlike anything you have heard before. The Bubinga interiors have a rich and resonant tone that is accentuated with the thin ply construction. Part of the Starclassic recipe is the die-cast hoops which yield a crisper attack, clear and resonant highs and much more powerful rim shots. All of this and more in an extremely attractive package and price.

The Tama name is derived from the first name of founder Yositaro Hoshino’s wife, Tama Hoshino. "Hoshino" translates to "star field." That's the origin of the star theme that unifies the entire Tama product line — from their entry-level Imperialstar drums and popular Starclassic series to their top-of-the-line Star series drums.

Tama's innovations can be found in their entry-level sets all the way up to their professional Star series drums. The Starclassic line has been producing premium shell drums like maple, birch, andbubingawith exquisite finishes for over two decades. Their patented Starcast Mount and Star Mount have continued to improve tone and aesthetics without sacrificing quality.

Their high-performance hardware has been one of the most trusted names for quality and durability since 1977 when they bought a portion of the Camco company. Today, the Iron Cobra and Speed Cobra lines have multiple options for players with a variety of needs.

Whether you are after drums or hardware, Tama continues to be one of the best companies when it comes to getting the most for your money.
