Tama STAR Walnut 4-piece Shell Pack: Overview
TAMA’s STAR Walnut drum set is the flagship line of their products, offering punchy-sounding toms and a visually appealing design that makes it a genuinely gorgeous instrument.
The bearing edge features a design allowing for better contact with the drum head. This allows vibration to travel more efficiently for greater tone and overall projection.
Premium die-cast zinc hoops provide consistent tuning, superior tone, and additional resonance when paired with the Super Resonant Mounting System. The walnut shells are handcrafted in Japan, providing a rich low tone and robust projection.
The tension rods feature washers with rubber rings, helping keep the drums in tune better. The included Remo heads deliver great sound from the moment you tune up. Drum stands, cymbal stands, and throne are purchased separately.

Tama STAR Walnut 4-piece Shell Pack
Walnut shells provide warm, full low end. Thinner, lightweight shells enhance resonance. Premium die-cast zinc hoops ensure consistent tuning and crisp attack. Super Resonant Mounting System optimizes vibration transfer and increases projection.

I have a Tama SLP Fat Spruce Drum set with the 22″, 16″, 12″ and 14″ snare. Out of the 5 acoustic sets I have, this one is my favorite.
