4.5mm, 5ply Bubinga + 1 inner ply Cordia (1 outer ply Cordia for CDKG/
CDKR/CSTN, or Indian Laurel for LNTI) w/ 9mm Sound Focus Ring
Bubinga wood, which TAMA introduced to the market, has become increasingly
popular as a drum shell material. Because of their ultra-high density, Bubinga shells
provide rich, fat low end as well as deep, dark tones.
STAR Bubinga shells are crafted to be much thinner than their Starclassic
counterparts. All the shells are 4.5mm thick, including the bass drums and snare
drums. These thinner shells allow the Bubinga material to vibrate more freely, which
greatly enhances resonance. All STAR Bubinga shells feature 9mm thick Sound Focus
Rings (SFR), which provide clear projection and sustain for a distinct sound, as well
as reinforcement.
5mm, 5ply Maple w/ 5mm Sound Focus Ring
Vibration produced by hitting a drum transfers to the shell through the contact point between the drumhead and the shell. Therefore, the shape of the bearing
edges is one of the most important factors in a drum’s sound.
Although they feature one of the most popular and traditional drum shell materials,
STAR Maple drums have some very unique hidden features that set them apart from
the rest. The ultra-thin 5ply, 5mm shells are comprised of a 2mm thick solid wood
core ply, sandwiched between 1.5mm thick cross-laminated plies on both sides.
STAR drums feature a bearing edge shape as shown in the diagram. Its peak is rounder than TAMA's traditional bearing edge. This rounded peak provides
more contact between the drumhead and shell, allowing vibration to travel from the drumhead to the shell more efficiently. Also, the peak position of the edge
is 3.5mm from the shell's outer surface, which further improves contact between the drumhead and drum.
2.5mm
Traditional Maple shells generally sound bright and open. Our STAR Maple shells
share those characteristics, but also add rich dynamics, body, and warmth, by utilizing
a solid ply core. The concept is similar to other solid shell drums, but our unique shell
construction allows the shells to be very thin by comparison. This groundbreaking
design gives STAR Maple shells the bright, open tone one expects from Maple, as
well as the rich sound character of solid shell drums, resulting in a truly one-of-akind, outstanding combination.

Super Resonant Mounting System
(PAT.PENDING)
To maximize the natural resonance of drums, tom toms should be mounted with minimal stress and strain
on the shells and hoops. STAR drums feature our brand new mounting concept to achieve this goal, called
the Super Resonant Mounting System.
Inside Finish
This mounting system has three contact points with the drum. Two are located on the batter hoop (A & B),
and one is located on the bottom hoop (C). These three points create the largest possible theoretical triangle
on the drum. The two contact points on the batter hoop (A & B) support the weight of the drum vertically.
The third contact point (C) supports the horizontal weight of the drum, once the angle is set. According to
physics, the further this third point is located, the less support it requires when setting an angle. Therefore,
by placing the third contact point as far as possible on the bottom hoop, using the support arm, we were
able to dramatically reduce the stress and strain on the shell and hoop and increase natural resonance.
In a very time consuming process, the bearing edges and insides of all
STAR drum shells are meticulously hand finished with oil for a luxurious
look. STAR Bubinga shells feature an oil-finished inner ply of Cordia,
while STAR Maple drums feature oil-finished Maple interiors.
If you tilt your drums beyond a certain angle, which should only apply to a small minority of drummers, this
mounting system operates a little differently. If a drum is tilted beyond a certain angle, the bottom hoop will
no longer be in contact with, or supported by, the bottom contact point (C). In that case, a different contact
point (D), located on the batter hoop, comes into play. Although the triangle formed by these three points
is much smaller, it does not put more strain on the batter hoop because of the angle of the drum. So the
drum’s natural resonance is still preserved in this case.
To maximize the resonance of drums, it's very important to prevent the vibration of the shells from
transferring to the tom stands. Therefore, in addition to the engineering outlined above, we also utilize
rubber at each contact point between the shell and the mounting system, which helps to isolate the shells
and greatly reduces the vibration transference.

Quick-Lock Tom Brackets
Bass Drum Spurs
(PAT.PENDING)
(PAT.PENDING)
The bass drum spurs adopt the same concept as the floor tom legs. Since the bass drum spurs receive
the horizontal impact from the pedal striking the bass drum, properly absorbing this impact is critical to
the natural resonance of the bass drum shell and for a comfortable feel from the bass drum pedal. This is
why we designed STAR bass drum spurs with soft, high-mass rubber feet.
The new "Quick-Lock" tom brackets equipped on the Super Resonant Mounting System and
on STAR floor toms have some very distinctive, ground-breaking features.
First and foremost, as their name suggests, these brackets allow for quick and easy setup and
breakdown. But the real unique feature of these brackets is that once the drum is positioned
on a tom stand or floor tom legs, there is no need to attach and adjust separate memory locks
to save the setting. By simply sliding the switch on the tom bracket, the bracket separates into
two parts. When the drum is removed for breakdown, the "memory lock" portion remains on
the tom stand or floor tom leg. This saves your positioning and makes the next set up quick
and easy.
These Quick-Lock tom brackets have some hidden acoustic benefits as well. Following the
same principle of reducing vibration transference from drums to the tom stands or floor tom
legs, these tom brackets also employ rubber lining to further isolate the drums and enhance
resonance.
There is one more important consideration. Most bass drum spurs have metal spikes at the end to
prevent slippage while playing. This is an important feature for many drummers, so to achieve the same
impact absorption principle while using metal spikes, STAR bass drum spurs feature a unique 2-piece
construction. The spike is separated from the rest of the spur by rubber, which absorbs the impact without
transferring it to the spike itself, allowing the bass drum shell to vibrate and resonate more freely.
Floor Tom Legs
Minimum Shell Contact
In general, floor toms are positioned vertically and are struck with downward force. This means that the floor tom legs receive this downward impact
directly. The tips of STAR floor tom legs feature a special, hollow, soft rubber construction which help absorb this impact in a way that emphasizes the
drum’s natural resonance and sustain.
Every piece of hardware that is attached to shells affects the resonance and sound of the drums. In
developing the STAR drum line, every detail was carefully considered to maximize resonance and
optimize sound.
Playability is also one of the key elements we considered in crafting the high-end STAR drum line. This hollow, soft rubber construction on the floor tom
legs also provide a very comfortable feel and response when striking the drum.
The newly designed lugs for STAR drums have a luxurious, sophisticated look, as well as an extremely
low mass bridge construction for minimum shell contact. The bass drum claw hooks follow the same
principle by "floating" on the surface of the bass drum hoops. STAR drums also feature an imprinted
badge and small wooden air hole grommet which further reduce the weight of materials on the shell
and improve resonance and sound.

Die-Cast Hoops
Hoops are a crucial element to a drum's sound and ease of tuning. STAR drums feature die-cast zinc hoops, which are manufactured by
injecting molten metal into molds. Die-cast hoops are denser and more consistent in shape than triple-flanged hoops, which are manufactured
by bending metal plates.
Bass Drum Hoop Color Option
STAR drums come standard with a beautiful center wood inlay on the outside of the shells. We also offer the inlay on the
inside of the Sound Focus Rings, or without any inlay at all.
Bass drums come standard with matching finish wood hoops. We also offer a Natural Matte Finish and a Dark Brown Matte
Finish for the hoops, available for most drum colors.
*The "No Inlay" option is NOT available on the Natural Indian Laurel (LNTI) finish.
*Natural Matte Finish hoops are NOT available for the Super Maple (SMP) finish.
*Dark Brown Matte Finish hoops are NOT available for the Satin Dark Mocha (SDM) finish.

Sonically, die-cast hoops provide crisper attack, greater projection and a more focused and powerful tone. Die-cast hoops also make tuning
easier and keep drums in tune longer because of their density and consistency in shape. These hoops combine with the rich, resonant STAR
drum shells for a very well-balanced, full-bodied sound.

TAMA STAR SNARE DRUMS
FEATURES
STAR snare drums have many special, unique features designed to follow the philosophy and goals of the STAR
drum sound.
The "Linear-Drive" strainer is designed for greater control of the lever
adjustment arm and more precise control of the strainer’s deployment
motion. The strainer movement works in a true linear motion. Even if
the strainer is engaged rapidly, you will not hear the typical "slap" of the
snare wires hitting the bottom drumhead.

TAMA's Traditional Shape
New Shape for STAR DRUMS
The shape of the snare beds is an important factor
in any snare drum's sound. In particular, the sustain
and sensitivity of the snare wires are heavily affected
by the shape of the snare beds.
STAR snare drums employ a different snare bed than
TAMA's traditional shape. The goal was to create
snare drums that have the same rich resonance as
the rest of the STAR drums, but that are also very
crisp and articulate. To achieve this, STAR snare
drums have a flat bottom that provides even and
consistent contact with each snare coil.
To prevent the snare wires from loosening, this strainer also has a ratchet
system on its tension adjustment mechanism. Single click adjustments
offer a vertical pull of 0.083mm in wire motion, which allows for ultrasensitive micro adjustments.
Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snappy Snare
The Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon snappy snare features a specialized
plate and winding pattern for the wire coils, and is made of hi-carbon
steel. This results in a very crisp, sensitive snare sound on all STAR
snare drums.
Newly Designed One-Piece Lug (MSL90S)
STAR snare drum lugs were designed with a clean look and bridge
construction for minimum shell contact. They are just one piece to reduce
the overall weight of the drum. In addition, both 13" and 14" diameter
snare drums have just 8 lugs, instead of 10. This reduces the weight of
the snare drum even further and offers in a more open, resonant tone.
