Tama MBS42S Starclassic Performer Piano Black

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.

Shells (Maple/Birch)

TT/FT/SD: 6mm, 4ply Birch + 2 inner ply Maple
BD: 7mm, 5ply Birch + 2 inner ply Maple

The combination of maple/birch projects with the warmth of maple and the clarity of birch. Tones are clean, articulate and very well balanced. The voice around the kit blends clearly, the die-cast hoops produce clear, punchy, full tones.

Die-Cast Hoops

Hoops not only affect drum tuning, they also affect drum sound. The zinc die-cast hoops 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.

EVANS Heads

EVANS G1 coated batter and TAMA clear single-ply Power Craft II resonant heads are equipped on the toms. Bass drums include EVANS clear EQ4 batter heads, Tama resonant head with muffle ring. Snare drums are fitted with EVANS G1 coated batter heads and EVANS 300 snare-side head.
