Tama Star Walnut 22 4 Piece Drum Kit Shell Pack - 22/10/12/16 - Satin Black Japanese Sen Burst

Features Bearing Edges When a drum is struck, the vibration is transmitted to the shell through the contact point between the head and the shell. Therefore, the shape of the bearing edges is one of the most important factors in the sound of the drum. STAR drums have a peak that is rounder than TAMA's traditional ridge edge. This rounded tip allows more contact between the eardrum and the shell, and transmits vibrations from the drumhead to the shell more efficiently. Additionally, the pak of the edge is located 3.5mm from the outer surface of the shell, further improving the contact between the drumhead and the drum. Drum Heads - Tom Toms & Floor Toms: REMO® Coated Ambassador for Batter Side / REMO® Clear Ambassador for Bottom Side - Bass Drums: REMO® Coated Powerstroke 3 for Batter Side / REMO® Fiberskyn Powerstroke 3 Diplomat for Front Side - Snare Drums: REMO® Coated Ambassador for Batter Side / REMO® Snare Ambassador for Snare Side Hold Tight Washers Hold Tight washers are designed to prevent the tension rods from loosening. They consist of a cup-shaped stainless steel washer which contains a rubber ring. Vibration caused from striking a drum creates space between tension rods and hoops, which can cause the tension rods to loosen over time. The rubber rings on our Hold Tight washers help absorb the impact of vibration and keeps tension rods in constant contact with the hoops to prevent loosening. Die-Cast Hoops Hoops are a crucial element to a drum's sound and ease of tuning. STAR drums feature die-cast zinc hoops, which are manufactured by injecting molten metal into molds. Die-cast hoops are denser and more consistent in shape than triple-flanged hoops, which are manufactured by bending metal plates. Sonically, die-cast hoops provide crisper attack, greater projection and a more focused and powerful tone. Die-cast hoops also make tuning easier and keep drums in tune longer because of their density and consistency in shape. These hoops combine with the rich, resonant STAR drum shells for a very well-balanced, full-bodied sound. Walnut Shells Generation of furniture makers have favored Walnut for its reliable solidness and long-term stability. As a drum shell material, Walnut's distinctive warm, fat sound has long been subject of rumor among drum tone aficionados, and new STAR WALNUT are doubtlessly about to rekindle that discussion.
