For nearly forty years the Superstar name has stood for groundbreaking design, ­superior build quality, sterling tone, and clear projection. Now Tama introduces this legendary kit in its most sonically aggressive persona yet featuring 100% maple ­shells. Thinner and livelier than ever, the Tama designers have dialed in the perfect ­combination of sensitivity and high-end "cut."

Drawing on Superstar of the past, its classic Tama T-shape badge and streamlined ­low-mass single lugs point to the simpler state of art of the 70's, while the ingenious ­Star-Mount system eclipses everything in its class-all at a surprisingly affordable price.
