STAR is the flagship line for TAMA drums. By reexamining every detail to maximize shell resonance and tone, TAMA's product design team cultivated their collective drum making expertise to take the STAR series to the next level. Walnut has long been favored by furniture makers for both its beauty and durability. As a drum shell material, walnut's naturally equalized tone has been praised by the drum community for both the stage and the studio. The STAR walnut shells project booming low end with enough cut to be heard through any mix. This 3-piece configuration includes 20"x14" bass drum that provides a super versatile kit for the advanced drummer to use in a variety of performance styles. The Japanese chestnut exterior ply gives this drum an alluring wood grain and finish.
