For sale is a Tama starclassic bubinga drum set in satin finish. Double tom stand is included. It is in fantastic condition, I’ve never gigged with it and I’m a non-smoker. This kit sounds KILLER! Details about this drum set. Tama found that something in African bubinga wood, which is approximately 53% harder than maple and birch. Starclassic Bubinga shells are slightly thicker than those in Tama’s Starclassic maple series. Tama’s builders concluded that a slightly thicker bubinga shell brought out the best characteristics of the wood: a more aggressive attack, a fuller deep/dark tone, a more powerful resonance, and unbelievably rich, fat lows. These drum shells are made of 8-ply bubinga plus one outer ply maple shell for optimal finish characteristics. Tom drum plies are 7mm thick, bass drum plies are 8mm thick. The Star-Cast Mounting System has always provided maximum resonance and stability for Tama’s pro-drums. Now it has a more streamlined designed, making it easier to position toms closer together. In addition, a switch to aluminum provides lighter weight and even truer tonal vibration. Star-Cast is also now plated to match your drum’s shell hardware. 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 the Starclassic Bubinga, Tama chose 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. Starclassic’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.
