Their founding idea is simple and highly effective: instead of varying diameters like classic toms, the Octoban series relies on the \u003cstrong\u003eshell length\u003c\/strong\u003e to change the perceived pitch. The result is a family of instruments designed to play \u003cstrong\u003eintervals\u003c\/strong\u003e, quick responses, note descents and ascents, or sharp punctuations that naturally complement an acoustic kit.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003eThis Octoban is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e (and any musician curious about textures) who want to enrich their set with an immediately identifiable percussive color. It is particularly comfortable in styles where precision and relief effects are sought: progressive rock, fusion, modern metal, film music, live electro, experimental funk, as well as orchestral contexts where tunable and distinct impacts are desired. In rehearsal or on stage, it quickly becomes a \"reflex instrument\" for creating transitions, calls, or percussive melodic patterns.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003eThe specificity of an Octoban lies in its tuning logic: the \u003cstrong\u003epitch varies according to the shell length\u003c\/strong\u003e. With a depth of \u003cstrong\u003e390 mm (15 1\/2)\u003c\/strong\u003e, this model serves as a precise voice within an Octoban set or as a dedicated accent in a standard kit. It can be tuned tighter for a firmer, snappier note or loosened for roundness while maintaining that very focused \"tube\" signature. Delivered \u003cstrong\u003ewithout stand\u003c\/strong\u003e, it easily integrates into existing setups (clamps, arms, racks) and allows freedom to choose the exact angle and height according to your ergonomics.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003eAn Octoban is distinguished by a \u003cstrong\u003efocused\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003edirectional\u003c\/strong\u003e sound: the attack is quick, the note is clear, and the projection remains clean even when the overall band volume rises. Whereas a classic tom can occupy a lot of space in the low or mid-low frequencies, the Octoban tends to concentrate energy in a narrower range, which facilitates pattern definition and separation between kit elements.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003eThe shell depth plays a central role: the longer the shell, the more the sensation of a \"settled\" and stable note appears, often with a deeper and fuller character at equivalent tuning. In this 390 mm format, you generally get an effective compromise between \u003cstrong\u003eresponsiveness\u003c\/strong\u003e (immediate response under the stick) and \u003cstrong\u003enote sustain\u003c\/strong\u003e (sustain present enough to sing without becoming overwhelming). In practice, this translates into fills that \"speak\" clearly, breaks that stand out, and melodic accents that remain audible without effort.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eOctoban\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eblack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e15 1\/2 (390 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003enot included\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Tama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358344663315,"sku":"167864","price":219.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/66e4dfdf134437d56ac8284bbae312cc10c97309_TAMA_OCT390N_V2.jpg?v=1792556853","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/tama-oct390n-octoban-6-x15-5-without-stand-167864","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
