Tama's Superstar Classic kit continues an impressive legacy with its thinner-gauge 100% maple shells and resonance-promoting, four-point Star-Mount System.
Overview
Superstar performance with the classic tones of maple. Featuring 100% maple shells, the Superstar Classic shell kit has superior build quality, sterling tone and clear projection. Thinner and livelier than ever, the Tama designers have dialed in the perfect combination of sensitivity and high-end cut.
Drawing on Superstar of the past, its classic Tama T-shape badge and streamlined low-mass single lugs point to the simpler state of art of the 70s, while the ingenious Star-Mount system eclipses everything in its class -- all at a surprisingly affordable price.
The bracket eye-bolts slide to the left and right, so it's possible to prevent the eye-bolts from touching each other even when setting up two toms close to each other.
- Lacquer finish
- Tom/Floor Tom/Snare Drum: 6ply/5mm
- Bass Drum: 8ply/7mm
- Classic Tama T-badge
- Low-mass single lugs
- Star-Mount System
NOTE: Shell kit only. Cymbals and hardware sold separately.

All Maple Shells
Tama's highest priority in producing the Superstar series of drums was sound. The full, powerful character and rich resonance of the Superstar drums were achieved by utilizing carefully selected maple shells and focusing intently on shell molding and the bearing edge shape.Star-Mount System
The Star-Mount System was developed to increase the resonance of drums. The mounting system provides support at four points on the batter side hoop of a drum.The bracket eye-bolts slide to the left and right, so it's possible to prevent the eye-bolts from touching each other even when setting up two toms close to each other.
Low-Mass Lugs
These small lugs are designed as separate lugs for the Superstar Classic series. By reducing the surface area that the lugs occupy on the shell, a structure that does not hinder shell resonance is achieved.Tom Holder
TAMA L-Rod and Omnisphere tom… read more holder systems have received acclaim from drummers for over 25 years. These systems offer easy positioning, maximum flexibility, stability and greater sound than standard designs which penetrate the shell interior and can inhibit resonance.Power Craft II Drumheads
All Superstar's "Power Craft II" drum heads ensure a great sound practically right out of the box! Ring mufflers on bass drum heads remove the need for extra internal muffling.Claw Hook
These claw hooks stabilize the wood hoops on bass drums and feature built-in rubber lining which helps protect the wood and maintain tuning even during long performances.Features:

I record often and play drums in two different bands. A second kit was inevitable. I own an original Star Classic Maple from '94 and decided to go with another, lower line, kit as a secondary. After researching different makes and models, with different types of wood, I stayed with Tama. I love the sound of maple kits, so the obvious choice was the Superstar Classic. The tonal quality is still top notch and the price is right. They also look fantastic. That said, being a lower priced kit, they did cut back on certain things. Not a big fan of the new Star Mount system. The old Starcast mounted the rim of the drum, allowing them to stay in tune longer and making it easy to change out drum heads. The current system mounts on the lug, like the old 'Rims' mounts. This causes them to go out of tune during the course of a studio session or live gig. Not badly, but I like not having to worry about it happening. The rims, themselves, are cheaper. Lighter, thinner and the lug screws are machined in a way that not all drum keys will fit properly. I had one of my nice torquing keys stick to the soft metal and mess up the tuning when trying to pry it off. The hardware is solid. Tama knows drummers need good, tough hardware that will hold up to years of gigging. It does come with the Iron Cobra 200 Series hi-hat and kick peddle. I don't use the kick since I have a nice Yamaha double peddle. So, other than the minor complaint of Star Mount and lug screws, the kit looks and performs perfectly.…
