The TAMA Superstar Classic 5-piece shell pack brings the coveted all-maple sound within reach. Built with TAMA's signature thin maple shells and loaded with high-end features, the Superstar Classic kits are crafted for warm, rich tone with clarity and resonance. The Superstar Classic is designed for drummers seeking professional quality maple drums without the premium price tag.

Resonate With All-Maple Shells

The foundation of the Superstar Classic's full, nuanced sound is its all-maple shell construction. TAMA utilizes thin, select maple plies for the shells, expertly crafted to vibrate freely with sustain. The 6-ply toms and snare provide a balanced tone across the drum set, while the 8-ply bass drum delivers strong, defined low end. With maple shells, the Superstar Classic drums sing with rich fundamental tones and warm overtones.

Enhance Resonance With the Star-Mount System

To get the most resonance out of the all-maple shells, TAMA outfits the Superstar Classic with the Star-Mount system. Star-Mount attaches each tom at four points on the rim, allowing the shell to vibrate as freely as possible. The eye-bolt mounts slide left and right so toms can be positioned close together without restricting resonance. Drummers will appreciate how the Star-Mount system unlocks the full potential of the maple shells.

Optimize Sustain With Low-Mass Lugs and Triple-Flange Hoops

The Superstar Classic is equipped with several features aimed at maximizing sustain. Low-mass single lugs allow the maple shells to resonate as freely as possible. Additionally, triple-flange hoops on the toms and snare drum enable an open, ringing tone. For the bass drum, TAMA uses sturdy all-maple hoops to provide solidity and focus to the low end.

Vintage Style With Lacquer Finishes

Lacquer finishes give the Superstar Classic drums a classic, vintage appeal. TAMA offers the kits in a range of eye-catching lacquer colors like Dark Indigo Burst, Midnight Gold Sparkle and Natural Ebony Tiger. As a nod to heritage, the Superstar Classic brings back TAMA's iconic "Big T" badge. The lacquer finishes and badge provide stylish, retro flair.

High-End Maple Drums Without the Cost

While other all-maple drum sets can run thousands of dollars, the Superstar Classic puts this professional quality within reach. Drummers can get the rich, nuanced tone of maple shells backed by TAMA's craftsmanship, all at an incredible value. The Superstar Classic is a breakthrough for drummers seeking an affordable path to all-maple sound.
