Tama Starclassic Birch/Bubinga Shell Pack - Crimson Tigerwood Fade
The Tama Starclassic Birch/Bubinga represents a revolutionary step in drum shell synthesis, offering a sonic palette that is distinct, powerful, and undeniably professional. By marrying the focused, studio-standard attack of birch with the dark, primeval low-end of African Bubinga, Tama created a kit that delivers the "best of both worlds." The birch outer plies ensure that your ghost notes articulate clearly and your backbeats cut through the densest guitar mixes, while the bubinga inner plies provide a guttural, sub-frequency punch that hits you right in the chest. It is this unique hybrid construction that has made the Starclassic B/B a go-to choice for heavy hitters and technical wizards alike, including legends like Mike Portnoy, who has championed Tama’s use of bubinga for its unparalleled depth.
Beyond its massive sound, this specific shell pack features the breathtaking "Crimson Tigerwood Fade" finish. The exotic tigerwood outer ply offers a stunning, complex grain structure that looks as aggressive and elegant as the drums sound, expertly faded from a deep crimson into the natural, wild figuring of the wood. The construction is supported by Tama’s rugged high-end hardware appointments, including zinc die-cast hoops which control high-frequency overtones and make tuning incredibly stable. Coupled with the Star-Cast mounting system, the shells are allowed to resonate freely without hardware dampening the natural decay. Whether you are laying down tracks in the studio or commanding a stage, this kit offers a tonal complexity that stands apart from standard maple or birch kits.
