A few words about the Tama mechanical drum and the Tama Star Maple drum line

Tama mechanical drums began production in 1965 under the name "Star Drums" and to this day this name is still used for the names of Tama drum models. In addition to drums, Tama is also a unit specializing in manufacturing and supplying sturdy, durable Hardware and drum mounting systems that do not violate the drum shell. Since then, drums (Bass, Tom Tom, Floor Tom, Snare) and Hardware from Tama have always been famous as one of the famous brands worldwide.

Tama Star mechanical drums are currently Tama's new mainstream line. The Star drum line is a remarkable advancement thanks to inheriting the knowledge base from the Starclassic line. By rethinking every detail on the drum kit to enhance resonance.

The Tama Star Maple drum is designed with a much thinner shell than the Starclassic Maple drum, making the sound more powerful and generous. Additionally, the "Solid Core Ply" of the Star Maple shell is a completely new design for this product line. This unique shell provides the warm sound of Maple plus the fullness of the sturdy shell . From there, creating an impressive unique resonance, the Tama Star Maple drum sound will bring players and listeners to sublimate with each rhythm.

Ultra-thin pure Maple wood drum shell, bright and warm sound

Traditional Maple shells generally have a bright and clear sound. The current Tama Star Maple shell adds an impressive level of vibration, resonance and warmth by using a solid solid core. The drum shell structure is similar to other drum shells but thinner, this breakthrough design gives the STAR Maple shell a bright sound. Due to the rich tonal characteristics of the solid drum shell, the sound becomes truly unique.

Shell structure of drum types (Bass, Snare, Tom Tom, Floor Tom).

The ultra-thin, 5mm thick, 5-layer shell consists of a 2mm thick solid wood core layer, sandwiched between 2 pairs of shells (1 pair has 2 layers) 1.5mm thick on both sides. Tama Star Maple drum shell includes 2 types of structure:

1/5 layer of Maple wood (total 5mm).

2/ 5 layers of Maple wood (total 5mm) + 1 additional layer of Maple wood on the outside - reserved color code ROLC/RRCM/RGCM/RECB.

The drum head material comes from the famous Remo brand

Remo drumheads for Tama Star Maple series drums.

- Tom Tom and Floor Tom drums: The hitting surface is the Remo Ambassador Coated type (the second most popular type in the world). The bottom is Remo Ambassador Clear (removes noise, increases sound resonance).

- Bass Drum: The beat surface is Remo Powerstroke 3 Coated (increasing focus on Mid and Low tones, helping to balance sound resonance). The other side is a Remo Powerstroke 3 Fiberskyn Diplomat (adds warmth to low frequency sounds and controls overtones).

- Snare drum: The hitting surface is Remo Ambasssador Coated. The bottom is Remo Ambassador Snare Side (high sound sensitivity, easy to adjust volume according to hand pressure).

Hold Tight washers are designed to absorb impact, keeping Hoops from loosening

Rubber washers are cleverly inserted to hold the drum structure in place.

The Tama Star Maple cue drum's Hold Tight collar is designed to prevent the bar from being stressed when released. They consist of a cup-shaped stainless steel washer with a rubber ring inside. The vibrations created by the drum will create a gap between the tension rod and the iron frame, and over time the tension rods will loosen. From here, the rubber rings have the role of absorbing the force of vibration and keeping the tension bars in constant contact with the hoops, avoiding loosening.

Die - cast Hoops increase the sharpness and resonance of the sound, making it fuller

Die-cast Hoops hold the drum head in place.

Hoops are an important factor in determining the drum sound and can be easily adjusted. The Tama Star Maple drum has a zinc rim that is molded by pouring molten zinc into a shaped mold. They have a thicker shape and are more stable than triple-flanged hoops .

In terms of sound, molded bezels provide sharper, louder and more powerful sound. In addition, the rim also makes tuning easier and keeping the drum in tune longer due to its density and shape consistency. These pads combine with the rich, highly resonant Star shells to create a very balanced and full sound.

Optimized shell bonding improves sound resonance

The system of shell connection details is optimized for acoustic resonance.

Every piece of hardware attached to the shell affects the resonance and sound of the drum. When developing the Tama Star Maple drum line, every detail was carefully considered to maximize these two things.

Newly designed lugs for Star Maple drums feature a luxurious, sophisticated look as well as an extremely low-mass bridge construction for minimal shell contact. Bass drum lugs follow the same principle by “floating” above the surface of the bass drum rim. The Star Maple drum also features an imprinted badge and small wooden air hole inserts that help reduce the weight of the shell material and improve resonance and sound.

Bass Drum Spurs

Bass drum spurs have the same structure as Floor Tom legs.

Bass drum spurs have the same structure as Floor Tom feet. Because they impact in the direction of the pedal hitting the drum surface, absorbing this impact is important for the natural resonance of the Bass drum shell while also providing a comfortable feel from the Bass drum pedal. . This is why Tama engineers designed the Tama Star Maple Bass Drum Spur with soft, high-volume rubber feet.

Another thing worth considering, most Spur have a metal spike at the end to prevent slipping when playing drums. This is an important feature for many drummers, so to achieve the same principle of impact absorption when using a metal tip, the Spur features a unique 2 - pieces construction. The tip of the spike is separated from the rest of the rubber post, which absorbs impact without transferring the impact to the spike, allowing the bass drum shell to vibrate and resonate more.

Rubber foot structure of Floor Tom drum

Tom Tama Star Maple Floor Feet have a soft, hollow rubber structure.

The Floor Tom drum is placed vertically and is acted upon by downward force. This means that the Floor Tom's feet will receive a direct downward impact. The tips of the Floor Tom Tama Star Maple feet feature a special soft, hollow rubber structure that helps absorb this impact by emphasizing resonance and sustaining the sound of the drum.

Playability is also one of the important factors that Tama engineers considered when creating the high-end Tama Star drum line. The soft, hollow rubber construction of this Floor Tom's drum feet also provides comfort and quick response when drumming.

Quick - Lock Brackers (quick lock brackets for Tom drums) add convenience when disassembling

Quick - Lock Brackers (quick lock brackets for Tom drums) are easier and more convenient.

The "Quick - Lock" tom mounts featured on the Super Resonant Mounting System and on the Floor Tom Star Walnut drums have some very special, groundbreaking features.

These brackets allow for quick and easy disassembly and installation. But the real unique feature of these stands is that when the drum is placed on the Tom Tom drum stand or Floor Tom stand, you do not need to insert and adjust separate memory locks to save the mounting position. Simply slide the latch switch on the Tom Tom drum stand and the stand will separate into two parts. When the drum is removed for replacement, the "lock memory" remains on the Tom drum stand or Floor Tom foot. This installation method makes setup quick and easy.

This convenient Quick - Lock Tom Tom mount also has some hidden audio benefits. Following the same principle of reducing vibration transfer from the drum to the Tom Tom drum stand or Floor Tom foot, they also use rubber lining to add drum isolation and enhance resonance.

Super Resonant Mounting System (super resonant mounting system)

Super resonant drum structure with 3 triangular peaks.

To maximize the natural resonance of the drum, the Tom Tom must be mounted with minimal tension and stress on the shell and ring. The Tama STAR Maple drum features a completely new installation to achieve this goal, called the Super Resonant Mounting System.

The super-resonant mounting system has three contact points with the drum. Two markers are on the rim of the drumhead (A & B), and one is on the rim of the bottom face (C). These three points form the triangle found on the drum. Two contact points (A & B) support the weight of the drum vertically. The third contact point (C) supports the horizontal weight of the drum. The farther this third point is located, the less support is needed when angled. When using brackets, they can significantly reduce tension and pressure on the case and molding, while automatically increasing resonance. course.

If you tilt the drum beyond a certain angle, which only applies to a minority of drummers, this mounting system works a little differently. If the blank exceeds a certain angle, the lower molding will no longer contact, or be supported, the lower contact point (C). Instead, another contact point (D), located on the drum pad, comes into play. Although the triangle formed by these three points is much smaller, it does not make it more difficult for the player to play the drum. Therefore, the natural resonance of the drum is still preserved in this case.

To maximize drum resonance, it is important to prevent shell vibration from transmitting to the Tom Tom mounts. In addition to the above technique, Tama also uses rubber at each contact point between the housing and the installation system, helping to isolate the housing and significantly reduce the transmission of unwanted vibrations.

Finish layer inside the drum

Perform finishing scan for Tama Star Maple drum shell.

In a time-consuming process, the bearing edges and interior of all Tama Star Maple drum shells are meticulously hand-finished with oil to create a luxurious look. important.

Bearing edges 45 with Round over (the edge of the shell is inclined at a standard 45 degrees and rounded to a rounded edge).

Bearing Edges design according to standards increases sound efficiency.

Vibrations from drumming are transmitted to the shell through the contact point between the drum head and the shell. Therefore, the shape of the bearing edges is one of the most important factors in creating the sound of the drum.

The Tama Star Maple cue drum has a heavy-duty edge shape as shown. Its top is rounder than the bearing edge of the traditional Tama drum. This rounded top provides more contact between the drumhead and shell, allowing vibrations to travel from the drumhead to the shell more effectively. Additionally, the edge's top position is 3.5 mm from the outside of the housing, further improving contact between the drum head and the drum.
