OVERVIEW

Focused attack paired with rich lows in a stunning finish.

TAMA has taken the already popular Starclassic Performer BB kit and wrapped it in an outer ply of Tigerwood. The striking grain pattern combined with Smoked Black Nickel shell hardware and two distinctive new finishes (Gloss Natural Tigerwood & Midnight Blue Tigerwood) makes this kit a unique choice within a proven series of reliable and exceptional sounding drums.

For more than 30 years, the distinctive, traditional sound of birch has made it the go-to choice for numerous pro drummers. Now, TAMA takes birch in an entirely new direction. Proportionately melding inner plies of bubinga with the classic birch exterior, TAMA has created a blended shell that combines the focused attack of birch, with the enhanced low-end of bubinga—delivering totally a new sound—both dynamic and versatile.

Shells(Bubinga + Birch)
TT/FT:4ply Birch + 3 inner plies Bubinga, 6mm
BD:5ply Birch + 3 inner plies Bubinga, 7mm

By using bubinga wood for the inner layer of the birch shell, TAMA has created a new chapter in the Starclassic series.

Hybrid tone, which exhibits the focused attack of birch paired with the enhanced lows of bubinga.

Star-Cast Mounting System
The Star-Cast Mounting System has always provided maximum resonance and stability for TAMA's pro-drums. A streamlined design makes it easier to position toms closer together for greater ease and comfort than ever before. In addition, a switch to aluminum provides lighter weight and even truer tonal vibration. Last but not least, Star-Cast is now plated to match your drum's shell hardware!

Swivel-Wing Tom Holder (US.PAT.NO.9087498)
Starclassic Perfomer B/B's tom holder expands on its setup flexibility with this new "Swivel-Wing Tom Holder" design.

Die-Cast Hoops
Hoops not only affect drum tuning; they also affect drum sound. That's why the choice of hoops was so important to the designers of TAMA's professional drum lines. For TAMA's Starclassic Series, we choose zinc die-cast hoops, which are manufactured by injecting molten metal into molds. Die-cast hoops have more density and are more consistent in shape than triple flanged hoops, which are manufactured by bending metal plates. Die-cast hoops make tuning more consistent and easier to achieve because the tension bolts always contact the hoop properly. Drums fitted with die-cast hoops also offer crisper attack, clear and resonant highs and much more powerful rim shots.

Claw Hooks(Starclassic Performer B/B)
Starclassic Performer B/B's claw hooks feature rubber spacers that help protect wood hoops from damage. The hooks and hoops work as one unit and won't separate or rattle, even on loose tunings.

Bass Drum Spur Bracket(Starclassic Performer B/B)
TAMA's MSB30 die-cast bracket holds the spur bracket securely, thanks to the same powerful hinge mechanism used on the MTB30 mounting bracket.Unique memory markers found on the folding spur bracket help simplify set up.

Quick-Lock Tom Brackets (US.PAT.NO.9269337) (Starclassic)
The new "Quick-Lock" tom brackets equipped on the Star-Cast Mounting System and on Starclassic 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.
