Note: Shell Packs are defined as drums only. No cymbals, stands, pedals, or hardware of any kind is included except where noted. An exception is toms mounted on the bass drum will have included posts for mounting the toms.

• Shells : 6 Ply, 5mm Toms/Snare & 7 Ply, 6mm Bass Drum. For the optimum transfer of vibrations from head to shell, a thinner shell is better. However, less thickness often equals less strength. Instead of making thinner shells by using fewer plies, TAMA slims down each ply and then cross laminates them. This combination results in a thinner shell that's actually stronger than others of greater thickness. Starclassic shells utilize maple, the most popular shell material today because of its warm, clear sound.
• StarCast Mounting System: A streamlined design makes it easier to position toms closer together for greater ease and comfort. In addition, a switch to aluminum provides lighter weight and even truer tonal vibration.
• Die-Cast Hoops: TAMA uses zinc die-cast hoops, which are manufactured by injecting molten metal into molds.
• Claw Hooks: Starclassic Performer B/B'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.
• Air Cushioned Floor Tom Legs: Starclassic's Air Pocket rubber feet feature a special air chamber, that eliminates the transfer of vibrations to the floor (which chokes sustain and sound) and absorbs shock for better playing.
• Hold Tight Washers : 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. However, 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.
