The Tama Starclassic Walnut/Birch 6pc Shell Pack in Turquoise Pearl combines the focused attack of birch with the warmth and depth of American black walnut, creating a dynamic and versatile sound suited for both stage and studio performance. Through extensive research and development, Tama engineered the ideal walnut-to-birch ratio to deliver powerful projection, rich low-mid warmth, and exceptional articulation. The toms and floor toms feature 6mm shells constructed from 4 plies of birch and 2 inner plies of American black walnut, while the bass drum utilizes an 8mm shell with 5 birch plies and 2 walnut plies. This hybrid design produces a punchy attack with a smooth, musical character and impressive sustain.
Tama’s signature rounded bearing edge design improves shell-to-head contact, maximizing resonance and allowing the drums to produce a full, open tone. Die-cast zinc hoops provide enhanced tuning consistency, crisp attack, powerful rimshots, and clear high-end response. The renowned Star-Cast mounting system allows maximum shell resonance while maintaining outstanding stability and positioning flexibility. Quick-Lock tom brackets simplify setup and teardown by preserving drum positioning without the need for separate memory locks. Their isolated design also reduces vibration transfer, helping the shells resonate more freely. Air Pocket™ rubber floor tom feet further enhance sustain by minimizing energy transfer to the floor.
The kit comes outfitted with premium Evans drumheads, including G2 clear batter heads and G1 clear resonant heads on the toms, plus an EQ4 bass drum batter head for punch, durability, and versatility across a wide range of musical styles. Finished in the stunning Turquoise Pearl lacquer, this Starclassic Walnut/Birch shell pack delivers a bold visual statement backed by professional-grade tone, craftsmanship, and reliability.
