All Maple Shells TT FT6ply,5mm BD7ply,7mm For the optimum transfer of vibrations from head to shell, a thinner shell is better. However, less thickness often equals less strength.

Now weve improved it. A new streamlined designed makes it easier to position toms closer together for greater ease and comfort than ever before. In addition, a switch to aluminum provides lighter weight and even truer tonal vibration. Last but not least, Star Cast is now plated to match your drums shell hardware! Die Cast Hoops Hoops not only affect drum tuning; they also affect drum sound. Thats why the choice of hoops was so important to the designers of TAMAs professional drum lines. For our Starclassic Series, we choose zinc die cast hoops, which are manufactured by injecting molten metal into molds. Die cast hoops have more density and are more consistent in shape than triple flanged hoops, which are manufactured by bending metal plates. Die cast hoops make tuning more consistent and easier to achieve because the tensi
