Features:

The Starclassic Bubinga ELITE series establishes a completely new standard for sonic and visual excellence.

The Bubinga ELITE series includes varied handcraft-intensive finishes including two featuring rare cordia, two featuring beautifully grained quilted bubinga, and two lacquer finishes.

Shells(Starclassic Bubinga ELITE) 8ply bubinga + 1 outer ply maple or Cordia(*) or Quilted Bubinga (**) shell TT/FT:7mm BD:8mm *Shell finishes:NCD or NCDF **Shell finishes:QMOB or QBLB African bubinga wood is approximately 53% harder than maple and birch. Acoustically speaking, bubinga provides very sharp and aggressive attack combined with unbelievably rich and fat lows. Our bubinga shells are slightly thicker than our maple drums which we have determined allows the drums to speak their fullest.

Minimum Shell Contact (Starclassic Bubinga ELITE) Our designers never stop looking for new ways to increase drum resonance. Nothing is too small to consider because many minutes improvements can add up to a signifcant difference in sound. Two good examples of this kind of exacting research are the replacement of the traditional metal badge with the new imprinted insignia and the small metal soundhole with one made of maple.

Shell Depths (Staclassic Bubinga ELITE/Bubinga) To achieve the sound and response you are looking for, Starclassic Bubinga offer a choice of six different depths ranging from the shallow Hyper-Drive to the cavernous X-tra Deep. Also, the 20"x22" Ultra Deep bass drum size. This size provides thunderous low end combined with maximum resonance. *Hyper-Drive sizes: 6"x8", 6.5"x10", 7"x12", 7.5"x13"

Star-Cast Mounting System(US.PAT.NO.5454288) 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!

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 our 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 Bubinga ELITE/Bubinga) Starclassic Bubinga ELITE/Bubinga'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 Bubinga ELITE/Bubinga) 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.
