The Superstar Classic from Tama once again sets the standard for discerning drummers, remarkably doing so while also lowering the price. Drawing inspiration from Tama's past Superstar models, the classic Tama T-shape badge and streamlined low-mass single lugs evoke the simpler, refined aesthetics of the 1970s. However, the ingenious Star-Mount system and thinner 100% maple shells eclipse anything in its class.

The Superstar Classic's configuration includes an 18x22 bass drum, 8x10 and 9x12 tom-toms, a 14x16 floor tom, and a 6.5x14 snare drum. The tom-toms, floor tom, and snare drum feature 6-ply, 5mm maple shells, while the bass drum boasts an 8-ply, 7mm maple shell.

The carefully selected maple wood is responsible for the Superstar Classic's powerful character and rich resonance. Tama's innovative Star-Mount System was developed to increase the resonance of the drums by providing support at four points on the batter-side hoop. This system allows the eye-bolts to slide left and right, preventing them from touching each other even when setting up two toms close together.

The low-mass lugs unique to the Superstar Classic series also contribute to the drum's resonance by reducing the surface area that the lugs occupy on the shell. Tama's acclaimed L-Rod and Omnisphere tom holder systems offer easy positioning, maximum flexibility, stability, and greater sound than standard designs that penetrate the shell interior and can inhibit resonance.

The Superstar Classic comes equipped with Tama's Power Craft II drum heads, ensuring a great sound right out of the box. The ring mufflers on the bass drum heads eliminate the need for additional internal muffling. The claw hooks that stabilize the wood hoops on the bass drum feature built-in rubber lining, which helps protect the wood and maintain tuning even during long performances.

In conclusion, the Tama Superstar Classic once again raises the bar for discerning drummers, combining the timeless aesthetics of the past with cutting-edge innovations that eclipse anything in its class. Its uncompromising attention to detail and commitment to resonance make it a must-consider option for drummers seeking a powerful and versatile instrument.
