Tama BU52XZBNSDFB Starclassic Bubinga Drum Shell kit DFB

Shell kits (Snare Drum&Hardware are NOT included)

Included:

Shells (Starclassic Bubinga)

African bubinga wood is approximately 53% harder than maple and birch.

Acoustically speaking, bubinga provides very sharp and aggressive attack combined with unbelievably rich and fat lows.

Starclassic Bubinga shells are made slightly thicker than those in our Starclassic Maple series to provide a more aggressive attack, a fuller deep and dark tone, and more powerful resonance. Numerous options are available to meet the varied and critical needs of professional drummers including a selection of more than 50 different shell sizes. Starclassic Bubinga also features three shell hardware finishes to choose from: black nickel, brushed nickel and chrome. Starclassic Bubinga is simply an unprecedented combination of sight and sound.

Our bubinga shells are slightly thicker than our maple drums which we have determined allows the drums to speak to their fullest. The outer maple ply allows us to offer a much wider selection of colors.

Shell Depths (Staclassic Bubinga ELITE/Bubinga)

To achieve the sound and response you are looking for, Starclassic Bubinga offer a choice of six different depths ranging from the shallow Hyper-Drive to the cavernous X-tra Deep.

Also, the 20"x22" Ultra Deep bass drum size. This size provides thunderous low end combined with maximum resonance.



*Hyper-Drive sizes: 6"x8", 6.5"x10", 7"x12", 7.5"x13", 8"x14"

Star-Cast Mounting System(US.PAT.NO.5454288)

The Star-Cast Mounting System has always provided maximum resonance and stability for TAMA's pro-drums. A streamlined design makes it easier to position toms closer together for greater ease and comfort than ever before. In addition, a switch to aluminum provides lighter weight and even truer tonal vibration. Last but not least, Star-Cast is now plated to match your drum's shell hardware!

Die-Cast Hoops

Hoops not only affect drum tuning; they also affect drum sound. That's why the choice of hoops was so important to the designers of TAMA's professional drum lines. For our Starclassic Series, we choose zinc die-cast hoops, which are manufactured by injecting molten metal into molds. Die-cast hoops have more density and are more consistent in shape than triple flanged hoops, which are manufactured by bending metal plates. Die-cast hoops make tuning more consistent and easier to achieve because the tension bolts always contact the hoop properly. Drums fitted with die-cast hoops also offer crisper attack, clear and resonant highs and much more powerful rim shots.

Claw Hooks(Starclassic Bubinga ELITE/Bubinga)

Starclassic Bubinga ELITE/Bubinga's claw hooks feature rubber spacers that help protect wood hoops from damage. The hooks and hoops work as one unit and won't separate or rattle, even on loose tunings.

Bass Drum Spur Bracket(Starclassic Bubinga ELITE/Bubinga)

TAMA's MSB30 die-cast bracket holds the spur bracket securely, thanks to the same powerful hinge mechanism used on the MTB30 mounting bracket.Unique memory markers found on the folding spur bracket help simplify set up.

Air Cushioned Floor Tom Legs

Starclassic's Air Pocket™ rubber feet feature a special air chamber, that eliminates the transfer of vibrations to the floor (which chokes sustain and sound) and absorbs shock for better playing.

Hold Tight™ Washers (US.PAT.NO.7307204)

The Hold Tight washer is a totally unique invention: a non-loosening washer! Its cup-shaped stainless steel washer contains a rubber ring so the tension rod pushes both the cup washer and the rubber ring. Normally, vibrations will eventually loosen the tension rod. But the softness of Hold Tight's rubber ring keeps it in contact with both the tension rod and the hoop at all times and maintains friction between them, so that tension is always preserved.
