Full Description

The Tama Starclassic Performer B/B combines two woods to achieve a dynamic and versatile tone that is favoured among many professionals the world over. With so many high profile artists having embraced the unique sound of B/B, its significance in today's music cannot be understated. This Tama shell pack includes a 22" x 18" kick drum, 10" x 8" and 12" x 9" toms, and a 16" x 14" floor tom. The tom shells are 6mm thick with 4 outer plies of birch, and 3 inner plies of bubinga. The kick drum shell is 8mm thick with 5 outer plies of birch, and 3 inner plies of bubinga.

Bubinga

With an unconventional combination of depth and a biting attack, bubinga features a very aggressive attack coupled with an intense depth and sustain. Bubinga is a hard tropical timber with a straight interlocking grain. It is often picked for its distinguished aesthetic and typically bright response.

Birch

Birch is capable of wide set of tonal personalities that enable the drum to project a versatile and dynamic tone. Quite often, birch is employed to produce a tighter, controlled character, which has resulted in a reputation among recording engineers as being “naturally EQ'd.”

The Combination

The unsurpassed dynamic range of the bubinga/birch combination has made Starclassic B/B a favorite among elite pro drummers who need sonic power without sacrificing warmth and nuance. The combination of these woods allows for a lower fundamental tone with slightly raised mids and a strong attack of birch.

Star-Mount System

Tama's innovative Star-Mount system maximises the drums' resonance, also providing support at four separate points on the batter side hoop of the drums.
