All Tama Starclassic Walnut/Birch Series shells are a hybrid of American walnut and European birch. The Bass Drum consists of a total of 7 plies (5 plies birch + 2 inner plies walnut), while the Toms consist of 6 plies (4 plies birch + 2 inner plies walnut). After long research, Tama was able to achieve the most modern sound with this combination, covering all styles of music. Predominant in this sound is especially the high bass content, caused by the two layers of walnut. Birch wood gives the complex frequency mix a concise clarity and an assertive attack. In addition, the shells are lacquered on the inside, which further focuses the sound.

The Floor Tom legs are air-padded and the time-tested Starcast Mounting System ensures that the shells resonate unhindered and the tone unfolds perfectly. The Starclassic Lugs are extremely stable and perfect for everyday touring. From the factory, the Toms and Floor Toms are equipped with Evans G2 clear heads. On the Bass Drum is an Evans EQ4 head with damping ring, so that nothing stands in the way of immediate playing fun.
