{"product_id":"tama-oct280n-octoban-6-x11-sans-stand-167861","title":"OCT280N - OCTOBAN 6\"X11\" (WITHOUT STAND)","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003eOctobans are among the first original instruments developed by \u003cstrong\u003eTAMA\u003c\/strong\u003e and have established themselves as a sonic signature among drummers with progressive and creative playing styles. They are found in very diverse contexts, from rock to jazz fusion, played by musicians known for their sense of orchestration and melodic accents. The concept is simple and highly effective: instead of multiplying diameters, TAMA focuses on a \u003cstrong\u003econstant diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003edifferent shell lengths\u003c\/strong\u003e to achieve distinct and complementary pitches.\u003cbr \/\u003eThis model with an \u003cstrong\u003e11-inch depth\u003c\/strong\u003e fits this \"additional instrument\" spirit: a percussion designed to expand the palette of a standard kit without complicating tuning or setup. In a solo configuration, it can serve as a very identifiable occasional voice; integrated into a set, it becomes another building block to construct a coherent melodic kit.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eOctoban\u003c\/strong\u003e is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e who want to enrich their drum kit with an expressive \u003cstrong\u003eeffect tom\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as musicians seeking textures (progressive rock, metal, fusion, modern pop, break-based music, film music). Beginners can also adopt it if they want a simple element to use: a single shell, a clearly marked pitch, and immediate impact in fills.\u003cbr \/\u003eIt is particularly suitable for playing styles requiring \u003cstrong\u003equick accents\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eshort responses\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003emelodic patterns\u003c\/strong\u003e (call-and-response with toms, stair-step descents, punctuation on asymmetrical measures). In the studio, it provides an identifiable timbre that fits easily into arrangements; on stage, it helps structure transitions and \"sign\" a break.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Octoban stands out with an acoustic logic different from a classic tom: here, the \u003cstrong\u003epitch varies according to the shell length\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003e6-inch diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e remains constant, which facilitates consistent feel and integration around the kit, while the \u003cstrong\u003e11-inch depth\u003c\/strong\u003e gives a specific pitch and projection. This format allows for \u003cstrong\u003emelodic tuning\u003c\/strong\u003e: you can integrate it into a \"scale\" of effect toms, or conversely tune it as a targeted note to reinforce a riff or bass line.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eblack\u003c\/strong\u003e finish meets the needs of many drummers: visual discretion, easy integration with most kits and hardware, and modern aesthetics. An important point for setup: this model is supplied \u003cstrong\u003ewithout stand\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving you the freedom to choose the most logical type of support for your set (depending on your ergonomics, desired height, and available space).\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003e6-inch diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e, this Octoban favors a \u003cstrong\u003eclear attack\u003c\/strong\u003e and precise note contour, very useful when you want the effect to be readable amid guitars or keyboards. The \u003cstrong\u003e11-inch depth\u003c\/strong\u003e directly influences pitch and behavior: you get a focused note, often sharper than a wide tom, with a sensation of quick response under the stick.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe very principle of the Octoban is based on the \u003cstrong\u003eshell length and pitch relationship\u003c\/strong\u003e: in practice, this allows tuning to be considered a musical choice (note, interval, role in the fill) rather than just a search for low or high pitch. Depending on head tension and playing style, you can go from a very percussive and short sound, perfect for accents, to a more open note with more \u003cstrong\u003esustain\u003c\/strong\u003e for melodic phrases. Complementing a standard tom set, this type of shell adds a color that stands out while remaining naturally \"drum-like\" in grain and projection.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eOctoban \/ effect tom\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eextension for acoustic drum kit, accents, and melodic patterns\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e6 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e11 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth in millimeters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e280 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eblack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003enot included (without stand)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54356547928339,"sku":"167861","price":189.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/7cd52f21fa0b3253d7adbdb3c5feb38dbd3e2126_TAMA_OCT280N_V2_60826f1c-4c03-4419-8df0-9176372364fa.jpg?v=1787299117","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/tama-oct280n-octoban-6-x11-without-stand-167861","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
