Tama Star Walnut - Roasted Chestnut 4-Pack

Product Description

Star Walnut is the third member of Tama's Star series, a 4-piece shell kit built with thin walnut shells that deliver a warm, full tone with clear attack and a fat low end. This kit comes in the Roasted Chestnut finish. It shares hardware with Star Maple and Star Bubinga, but without the Sound Focus Ring or the inlay option, which is reflected in a lower price.

• Warm, open tone with clear attack and a fat low end
• Thin, stable walnut shells
• STAR Bearingedge cut for an easy-to-tune drum set
• Floating tom suspension that minimizes impact on shell resonance
• Floor tom legs and bass drum spurs with rubber isolation for freely resonating shells
• Hold Tight washers that keep tension rods from loosening

Tone and Construction

According to Tama, walnut has a natural EQ with extra high and low register, resulting in a tone character with a lot of warmth. The sound is described as a blend of maple's clear attack and birch's more rounded, spread-out warmth. The toms and snare drum are built with 6-ply walnut shells, 5 mm total, while the bass drum has a 7-ply walnut shell, 6 mm total. The shell interiors are oiled, and the bearing edge (STAR Bearingedge) has a slightly larger 3.5 mm double cut for optimal head-to-shell contact.

Suspension and Hardware

The Super Resonant Mounting System puts minimal stress on the shell so the tone can fully develop. The tom mount doubles as a memory lock and is surrounded by rubber bushings that prevent resonance from leaking into the tom arm or interfering with other toms (Quick-Lock tom/leg bracket). The floor toms use the same brackets along with rubber feet that let the floor tom resonate freely for better sound and feel. The bass drum spurs are made in two pieces connected by a rubber bushing, giving the bass drum shell a floating suspension as well. The lugs and hoop clamps are designed for minimal shell contact, and the hoops are Die-Cast Hoops for focused sound and easy tuning.

Who It's For

A good choice if you want a premium drum kit with a warm, full tone and easy tuning, at a somewhat lower price point than Star Maple and Star Bubinga.
