Tama MID-PITCHED 4PC CONCERT TOM SET TRANSPARENT BLACK BURST

Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range

The TAMA Permium Concert toms fit within the Japanese brand's approach of offering expressive and reliable shells, with hardware designed to let the wood resonate naturally. In the concert tom universe, the Permium range positions itself as a versatile and refined solution, aimed at drummers seeking both musicality, precise attack, and tuning stability in modular configurations.

Who This Drum/Tom Is For

These Concert toms are intended for intermediate to advanced drummers who want to build a custom set, complement an existing setup, or explore a more direct and percussive "concert toms" aesthetic. Their character is particularly suited to styles where clarity and impact are essential, such as pop, rock, funk, theatrical music, as well as more "studio" contexts where a sharp attack and precise pitch control are appreciated.

Features and Innovations

The core concept is based on a 6-ply maple shell at a 5 mm thickness, combined with hardware selected to optimize vibration. The low-mass lugs reduce mechanical stress on the shell, helping to maintain a natural resonance feel and a more organic response even at moderate volume. The Direct Flexi-Mount facilitates integration of the tom into various setups while minimizing muffling caused by mounting-a key point for preserving note length and consistent dynamics. Finally, the triple-flanged steel hoops provide a well-appreciated balance between sonic openness, stability, and ease of tuning.

Sound

Maple is known for its overall balance: present but clean low end, musical midrange, and clear highs, with a sense of "roundness" that avoids harshness. On a concert tom, this wood highlights a defined attack and natural projection, while retaining warmth in the note's body.
With 5 mm shells, the response remains lively and sensitive: the tom speaks quickly, offers a wide range of dynamics, and maintains a pleasant resonance when tuned open. The triple-flanged hoops emphasize the airy and bright qualities, helping the tom cut through the mix, while the low-mass hardware contributes to preserving sustain and the sensation of a "free" shell under the stick.
