A few words about Tama mechanical drums and the Tama Star Walnut 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.

Walnut wood has long been favored by furniture manufacturers for both its beauty and durability. Walnut is a drum shell material whose sound quality has been highly appreciated by the drumming community both on stage and in the studio. Tama Star Walnut drum shells produce low-frequency sounds (bass) with just enough punch to be heard in any mix.

Bearing edges are more rounded, improving drum vibration.

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 Walnut cue drum has the bearing edge shape as shown, its top is more rounded 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 inside of the shell, further improving contact between the drum head and the drum.

Pure Walnut wood drum shell, thin, resonant sound.

For a long time, many generations of furniture makers have favored Walnut wood because of its sturdiness and long-term stability. As a drum shell material, Walnut's distinctive rich, warm sound has long been a big topic of discussion among drum enthusiasts, and the new Tama Star Walnut series is sure to spark that discussion. .

The empty shell layer structure depends on each outermost Finish layer.

The general shell structure of the Tama Star Walnut drum is composed of :

- Tom Tom, Floor Tom, Snare drum: 6 layers of Walnut shell (total 6mm),

- Bass Drum: 7 Walnut shells (total 6mm),

Particularly, the colors ASCS, AGJB, ASBJ, AIJB, LIC, RSC, AWC have the following structures:

- Tom Tom drum, Floor Tom, Snare drum: 6 layers of Walnut shell (total 6mm) + 2 outer layers of Japanese Sen.

- Bass drum: 7 layers of Walnut shell (total 7mm) + 2 outer layers of Japanese Sen.

Only LIC, RSC, AWC colors have the following structure:

- Tom Tom drum, Floor Tom, Snare drum: 6 layers of Walnut shell (total 6mm) + 1 outer layer of Japanese Chestnut.

- Bass Drum: Includes 7 layers of Walnut (total 7mm) + 1 outer layer of Japanese Chestnut.

The drum head material comes from the famous Remo brand.

The world-famous brand Remo drumhead is trusted and chosen by Tama.

- 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 side is Remo Ambassador Snare Side (high sound sensitivity, easy to adjust volume according to hand force).

Hold Tight washers are designed to absorb impact, keeping the iron bars from loosening.

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

The Tama Star Walnut 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 rods in constant contact with the frames, avoiding loosening.

Die - cast Hoops increase the sharpness and resonance of the sound.

Die-cast Hoops hold the drum head in place.

Hoops are an important factor that determines the sound of the drum and can be easily adjusted. The Star Walnut 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, hoops also make tuning easier and keeping the drum in tune longer due to its density and shape consistency. They combine with the rich, highly resonant Tama Star Walnut shell 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 STAR drum line, every detail was carefully considered to maximize these two things.

Newly designed Lugs for STAR drums feature a luxurious, sophisticated look as well as an extremely low-mass bridge construction for minimal shell contact. Bass drum hooks follow the same principle by “floating” above the surface of the bass drum rim. Tama STAR Walnut mechanical drums also feature an imprinted badge and a small wooden air hole that reduces the weight of the shell material and improves resonance and sound.

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 rings. The Tama STAR Bubinga 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 (AB), and one is on the rim of the bottom face (C). These three points form the triangle found on the drum. Two contact points (AB) support the weight of the drum vertically. The third contact point (C) supports the horizontal weight of the drum. The further away this third point is, the less support is needed when angled on the stand, naturally increasing resonance.

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 drum 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 strike surface , will work. Although the triangle formed by these three points is much smaller, it does not make it more difficult for the player. 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.

Bass Drum Spurs.

Bass Drum Spurs.

Bass drum spurs have the same structure as Floor Tom legs. 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 Walnut 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 Walnut Floor Feet have a soft, hollow rubber construction.

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 Walnut 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.
