Key Features
The Tama Starclassic Performer B/B shell pack was designed to offer drummers the rich, sonic beauty of bubinga shells but at a more affordable price. The result is a marriage of bubinga and birch, giving players an affordable but truly special drum kit. Featuring the precise attack of birch but also enjoying the rich low end of bubinga, the Starclassic Performer BB is perfect for those seeking professional, uncompromising tone without breaking the bank. Star-Cast tom mounting also ensures that the shells are isolated from hardware, allowing them to resonate fully.

The Starclassic Performer B/B shells are designed with a unique construction, using 3ply Bubinga for the inner layers and 4-5ply Birch over the top. These two woods work together to create a rich, dynamic tone, offering the focused attack of a Birch shell with the enhanced lows of a Bubinga shell.
The Star-Cast Mounting System has always offered top resonance and stability for TAMA's pro-drums, but now TAMA has improved it further. A new streamlined design makes it easier to position toms closer together for greater ease and comfort than ever before. In addition, a switch to aluminum offers lighter weight and even truer tonal vibration. Last, but not least, Star-Cast is now plated to match your drum's shell hardware!
From the Star-Cast Mounting System to the single small lugs, every aspect of Starclassic was taylored to combine with Tama's ideal of the bare-minimum of shell contact. Instead of metal badges riveted to the shell, Starclassic utilizes a maple airhole cap and a logo that is imprinted onto the shell before the final finish is applied. These features also contribute to Starclassic's rich, timeless appearance.
Hoops not only affect drum tuning but also affect drum sound, which is why the choice of hoops was so important to the designers of Tama's professional drum lines. The Tama Starclassic Maple has 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.
