Bold Sound and Classic Aesthetic – The Tama WBR52LS Starclassic Walnut/Birch 5-Piece Shell Pack in Blue and White Oyster
The evolution of Starclassic from maple, birch, bubinga, birch/bubinga continues, and now – after intense analysis, rigorous research, development and product testing – Tama has arrived at the latest Starclassic modern development, Starclassic Walnut/Birch.
Tama discovered the perfect ratio of walnut to birch that produced a superior quality of low-to-mid frequency warmth that perfectly complemented the clear attack and higher frequency projection of birch. The sound is familiar, but distinctively different from Tama sounds of the past.
The Starclassic series continues to be a representation of Tama's collective drum-making passion, wisdom and pursuit to offer refined and differentiated sounds. Starclassic Walnut/Birch defines Tama's commitment to evolve their drum sounds and inspire the contemporary drummer.
Bearing Edges
The shape of the edge is one of the most important factors which affect drum sound. Because the drumheads provide the important source of vibration, the shape of the contact point of the head and shell determines and defines the sound. This is why Tama has worked so extensively on achieving the most functional shape for the drum head and edge.
Picture shows a sectional view of the drum's bearing edge. As shown in Part A, the angle of the top edge is set 2.5 mm inside from the outer surface of the shell. The edge is cut to a round collar so as to follow the natural shape of the drumhead (B). This design, which creates a better fit between the drumhead and bearing edge, maximizes the resonance of drum. This bearing edge shape is part of Tama tradition and is crucial in providing Tama's unique drum sound.
Shells (Walnut/Birch)
TT/FT/SD: 6 mm, 4-ply birch with 2 inner plies of American black walnut
BD: 8 mm, 5-ply birch with 2 inner plies of American black walnut
The hybrid shell exhibits the focused attack of birch paired with the firm and warm tone of walnut. This sound is not only punchy, but sweet and mellow. When you beat the drums once, excellent tone surrounds you. The walnut/birch hybrid shell will make your drum life state of the art.
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!
