Tama Starclassic Elite Bubinga Quilted Mocha Burst Finish Drum Kit

Brand New

Starclassic Bubinga ELITE has created a completely new standard of sonic and visual excellence. Exquisitely grained outer-plies are carefully hand-selected for their extraordinary beauty and to ensure astonishing drum-to-drum consistency.
 
Where different sections of woods or covering are joined, you can touch where each piece meets and experience the feeling of "seamlessness" found in no other drum. There are ten new and very different handcraft-intensive finishes in Bubinga ELITE including the rare cordia, the beautiful example above; Nightfall Green Cordia.

8ply bubinga + 1 outer ply Cordia shell TT/FT:7mm BD:8mm

African bubinga wood is approximately 53% harder than maple and birch. Acoustically speaking, bubinga provides very sharp and aggressive attack combined with unbelievably rich and fat lows. Our bubinga shells are slightly thicker than our maple drums which we have determined allows the drums to speak their fullest
The kit consists of:

10" x 8" Tom
12" x 9" Tom
16" x 14" Floor Tom
22" x 18" Bass Drum

NOTE: Stands & Cymbals Not Included. Hardware for displays purposes only. Configuration pictured; B42HS.

Starclassic Bubinga ELITE/Bubinga's claw hooks feature rubber spacers that help protect wood hoops from damage. The hooks and hoops work as one unit and won't separate or rattle, even on loose tunings.

The Hold Tight washer is a totally unique invention: a non-loosening washer! Its cup-shaped stainless steel washer contains a rubber ring so the tension rod pushes both the cup washer and the rubber ring.
Normally, vibrations will eventually loosen the tension rod. But the softness of Hold Tight's rubber ring keeps it in contact with both the tension rod and the hoop at all times and maintains friction between them, so that tension is always preserved.
