Superstar Shells
Bass Drum: 7ply, 7mm
Tom Tom, Floor Tom & Snare Drum: 6ply, 6mm

Tama's highest priority feature when developing the Superstar series was sound. Superstar shells use birch for the main inner ply for strong projection and aggressive open sound. To enhance Superstar's great looks, basswood, with its excellent consistency and regular grain patterns, is utilized for the inner ply on all Superstar shells. Precisely cut bearing edges bring out the great response and powerful resonance of these superbly crafted shells.

Hyper-Drive Toms
Hyper-Drive is the new standard depth size on tom toms. Its short depth creates enhanced attack, punchy sound, and quick response. And more it allows you to set up the rack toms in lower position. So, you can post the tom toms more freely.

Black Nickel Shell Hardware
In Superstar Hyper-Drive, all shell hardware is Black Nickel Plated. This beautiful looking finish produces a higher-grade sense of quality.

Star-Cast Mounting System
All… read more Superstar rack toms are fitted with a Star-Cast Mounting System similar to Starclassic drums. This unique system offers total tom isolation and unhindered shell resonance without the adverse effect on tuning or complicated head changes found in less advanced suspension designs.

20 Inch Ultra Deep Bass Drums
In Superstar Hyper-Drive, the 20 x 22 inch Ultra Deep bass drum size is now available. This size provides thunderous low end combined with maximum resonance.

Die-Cast Hoops (Black Nickel Plated)
No other drum embodies pro features at an affordable price like Superstar. In a first for this price range, Superstar is equipped with the same zinc die-cast hoops featured on Starclassic drums. Die-cast hoops not only make tuning easier and more consistent, they also provide crisp attack, clear and resonant highs, and much more powerful rim shots.

Sound Bridge High-Tension Lugs
The Sound Bridge high-tension, low-mass lug was specifically designed for Superstar. Sound Bridge's unique structure looks much like a traditional high-tension lug, but the body of the lug floats over the shell to minimize shell contact so the drum can resonate to its fullest. However, Sound Bridge still offers all the benefits of the traditional high-tension lug: it offsets the tension of the batter side and bottom side heads, reduces the stress on the shell, and provides greater protection to the drum shell during transport.

Power Craft Drumheads
All Superstar's Power Craft drum heads ensure a great sound practically right out of the box! Batter side heads are made of Dupont Mylar film for richer tone and greater durability. Ring mufflers on bass drum heads remove the need for extra internal muffling.

Quick-Set Tilter
All Superstar's catalog kits come standard with upgraded Roadpro cymbal stands. The toothless Quick-set cymbal tilter lets you adjust the angle freely and hold it in position by the friction of six metal disc plates instead of gears. You're completely free to adjust it to any angle you desire. This mechanism also has a more durable structure than the conventional gear tilter. read less
