Exploring limitless possibilities, Tama’s result in the wake of countless experimentation came in the form of the hybrid shell: Walnut/Birch. The evolution of Starclassic from maple, birch, bubinga, birch/bubinga continues, and now – after intense analysis, rigorous research, development and product testing – we have arrived at the latest Starclassic modern development, Starclassic Walnut/Birch.We discovered the perfect ratio of walnut to birch that produced a superior quality of low-to-mid frequency warmth that perfectly complemented the clear attack and higher frequency projection of birch. The sound is familiar, but distinctively different from Tama sounds of the past.The Starclassic series continues to be a representation of our collective drum-making passion, wisdom and pursuit to offer refined and differentiated sounds. Starclassic Walnut/Birch defines our commitment to evolve our drum sounds and inspire the contemporary drummer. This shell combination brings the superior quality warmth and mid-to-low frequency tone of the increasingly popular and truly unique Walnut, with the well-defined and uncompromisingly solid attack of Birch. This 3-piece shell pack configuration consists of a versatile 22 x 14 in (non-drilled), 12 x 8 in tom and 16 x 16 in floor tom. Tama’s MC69 single tom attachment is included. Tama successfully applied their trademark engineering with high-tech and efficient drum craftmanship to create a distinctive sounding and highly flexible drum set.Features3-Piece Shell PackWalnut/Birch Hybrid ShellsTT/FT/SD: 6mm, 4ply Birch + 2 inner ply Black Walnut / BD:8mm, 5ply Birch + 2 inner ply Black WalnutInside LacquerStar-Cast Mounting SystemDie-Cast HoopsStarclassic LugsEvans Drum Heads
