Tama PS32RZS-TBT Starclassic Performer BB Tri-Burst Tobacco

General

The idea behind combining two types of wood in a drum, is that you take the best of both worlds, sound-wise. For Tama's Starclassic Performer BB series, it proved the ideal way of attaining both the powerful personality of the birch and the warmth of bubinga. This three-piece shell set consists of a 22 x 16-inch virgin bass drum, a 12 x 8-inch tom and a 16 x 16-inch floor tom with a beautiful Tri-Burst Tobacco finish.

PS32RZS-TBT

The 6mm-thick tom and floor tom shells in this set are made of three inner plies of bubinga wrapped in four outer plies of birch, while the bass drum has five plies of birch, making it 8 mm thick. The die-cast hoops are no less sturdy than the drum shells, as they are made of die-cast metal, meaning they have no structural weak spots. And that's a good thing, as the StarCast tom mounting system suspends the toms from their hoops instead of the shells, allowing them to resonate freely. For that same reason, the floor tom is equipped with Air Cushioned legs that features special air chambers, which prevent the vibrations in the shell from disappearing into the ground.

Hardware

Because this set has a virgin bass drum, you will need to mount the tom to a separate stand with the handy, included MC69 clamp. Furthermore, the tom and floor tom are fitted with Tama's Quick-Lock system, ensuring that setting up and tearing down your drum set is a quick and easy job. The special bass drum claw hook feature a rubber lining that keeps them from damaging the bass drum hoops and prevents them from rattling, even is you tune your bass drum very loosely. Finally, this set comes equipped with Evans Clear drumheads and all the hardware on the shells has a chrome finish.

Tips or comments about this product

Please note:

• The stands and cymbals in the image serve illustrative purposes only and are not included in your purchase.
• A virgin bass drum is a bass drum without tom mounts, which means you have to mount your tom on a separate stand or tom holder. This type of setup allows you to mount your cymbals at a lower position.
