Tama Starclassic Performer B/B Hyper-Drive, Dusty Rose

Tama Starclassic Performer B/B Hyper-Drive 5-Piece Shell Pack – Dusty Rose

The Tama Starclassic Performer B/B in Hyper-Drive configuration is a kit where sound and looks pull in the same direction. The lacquered Dusty Rose finish is a soft, muted pink that reads beautifully on stage without overpowering the room, while the thin birch and bubinga shells deliver focused attack paired with a deep, anchored low end full of warmth. Black nickel hardware adds a modern, understated contrast that ties the whole kit together. Please note that the hardware, cymbals and snare drum shown in the product images are not included in this shell pack.

A hybrid shell with the best of both woods

The character of this kit lives in the meeting between two woods. Birch contributes its signature clarity and tightly focused attack, while bubinga adds a deep, full low end with a warm presence. The tom and floor tom shells measure 6 mm with four plies of birch over three plies of bubinga, while the bass drum runs slightly thicker at 8 mm with five plies of birch and three plies of bubinga. The result is a kit that projects powerfully on stage and sits beautifully in the studio.

Hyper-Drive – shallower shells, sharper response

The Hyper-Drive configuration features shallower tom depths than standard sizes, which translates to a faster attack and a more controlled sustain. The toms tune up easily and respond instantly even at high velocity, making them a favourite among rock and metal drummers who need clear articulation in fast passages. Playability is exceptional – every stroke feels immediate beneath the sticks.

Star Quick-Lock and pro-grade hardware

Tama has packed this kit with details you can see and hear. The Star Quick-Lock tom and leg brackets let you return to exactly the same setup gig after gig thanks to a clever quick-release mechanism with built-in memory lock, and rubber bushings inside the brackets allow the shells to resonate freely. The Star-Cast Mounting system suspends each tom from the hoop without dampening shell vibration, and die-cast hoops sharpen focus while making tuning noticeably easier. Rubber spacers on the bass drum claw hooks protect the finish, and the floor tom legs are cushioned with air pockets to preserve full shell resonance against the floor.

Evans heads, ready to play

The kit ships ready to perform. The toms come fitted with Evans G2 Clear batter heads for a balanced tone with strong attack and controlled sustain, while the bass drum wears the Evans EQ4 with its built-in damping ring – a punchy, studio-ready sound straight out of the box.
