DISC Tama Starclassic Walnut/Birch 8" x 6" Tom, Lacquer Arctic Blue

Full Description

Hybrid Excellence

The Starclassic Walnut / Birch combination is the result of extensive experimentation by Tama to find exceptional drum tone. The tom shell is constructed from 6mm 4-ply European birch, with a 2-ply inner layer of American black walnut. This combination provides superior quality warmth and richness, with the solid attack of birch for uncompromising tone. The die-cast hoops wrap it up nicely to bring controlled sustain and more clarity to the overall tone. The Starclassic Walnut Birch tom produces a focused attack that would bring great distinction to any musical ensemble.

Superior Hoops

Tama's die-cast hoops are some of the best hoops around. Manufactured by injecting molten zinc into molds, they are denser and more consistent in shape than triple-flanged hoops. This careful process helps refine a crisp, clear, and focused attack, with powerful rimshots. Not only do they provide a superior playing experience, they also provide more consistent tuning because of the greater contact between the tension rods and hoop.
