Key Features
Product Ref: 116801
Silverstar shells are constructed from carefully selected Birchwood and crafted using the same moulding methods as high-end Tama drums. By creating the drums with this method results in a powerful sound with rich tones and a warm resonance. The Silverstar shells implement Tama's star-mount system which increases drum resonance and 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.
Each of the Silverstar drums is fitted with Tama’s sound arc hoops, which are based off the 'stick slave hoops' that were used on vintage snare drums. All the edges of the sound arc hoops bend inwards, this enhances the drums natural tones whilst offering increased sensitivity, precision, and control. In addition to the advanced hoops, Tama Silverstar feature Tama’s specially designed separate lugs that are low in mass, reducing the surface are that the lugs occupy. With a smaller design, the lugs offer a structure that doesn’t hinder the shells resonance, resulting in a cleaner sound.
To hold the rack tom in place, the Silverstar kit features Tama’s MTH900BN tom holder that allows the drum to be moved backwards or forwards. By simply loosening a square-headed bolt, the rack tom can be moved up to 50mm to any position, allow you to set up the drum to your specifications.
The claw hooks stabilise the wooden bass drum hoops, keeping them in place no matter how hard you play. The claws feature built-in rubber lining which helps protect the wood and maintain tuning even during long performances. The rubber spaces also help protect the claw hooks and tension bolts from damage when the bass drum is placed on the ground.
The Tama Silverstar Metro Jam Shell Pack offers a foundation setup that can be finished with the hardware and cymbals of your choice and expanded with add-on drums and holders if you choose. When paired with high-quality cymbals and hardware, the Metro Jam Shell Pack offers a superb drumming experience for any drummer, whilst offering the compact and portable design which gigging and touring musicians require.
