Their adoption by drummers known for their orchestral approach and precision, such as Billy Cobham, Simon Phillips, Stewart Copeland, Bill Bruford, Mike Portnoy, and Tim Alexander, helped cement the Octoban as a classic in the percussion world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e7850N2H\u003c\/strong\u003e model continues this tradition: a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-pitch set\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to complement a kit with more singing pitches and livelier responses, while retaining the sonic DNA of the series. It is a relevant choice to enrich a set without overloading it, adding a palette of \"ready-to-play\" notes that naturally stand out in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis TAMA Octobans set is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e who want to expand their rhythmic and harmonic vocabulary.

The small diameter shells favor clear articulation, ideal for fast patterns and precise accents.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe philosophy of Octobans is based on a simple and highly musical idea: instead of relying on shells of different diameters as in a classic tom series, the \u003cstrong\u003epitch changes according to the shell length\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result is a more homogeneous sound signature, with pitch intervals designed to be exploited as a true melodic extension of the kit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003e6-inch diameter shells\u003c\/strong\u003e, this high-pitch set offers a very effective compromise between compactness and presence. The instrument responds quickly, is easy to position above or beside the toms, and allows building sequences that remain clear even at high volume. The addition of the \u003cstrong\u003eHOW29WN stand\u003c\/strong\u003e secures the setup and facilitates shell orientation to optimize ergonomics and access to strikes.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn Octoban is distinguished by a \u003cstrong\u003eclear\u003c\/strong\u003e attack and a note that shapes quickly, with a very marked \"tubular\" sensation. The small diameter (6 inches) enhances precision and sound focus: you get clear impacts, clean rebounds, and projection that naturally cuts through a band without forcing the playing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn this \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e set, the response highlights higher pitches, perfect for creating \u003cstrong\u003emelodic lines\u003c\/strong\u003e, call-and-response effects with the snare drum, or punctuations that advantageously replace certain electronic effects. Tuning can be thought of in intervals (thirds, fourths, fifths) to build percussive \"hooks,\" or conversely in close notes for fast and tense descents. Thanks to the principle of variation by \u003cstrong\u003eshell length\u003c\/strong\u003e, the sound identity remains consistent from one Octoban to another, which helps maintain a homogeneous mix rendering.\u003c\/p\u003e\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\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eTAMA\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct family\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eOctobans\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel No.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e7850N2H\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\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eOctobans set\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eHigh-pitch set\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded elements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eOCT280N + OCT301N\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShell diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e6 inches\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\u003eIncluded stand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eHOW29WN stand\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\u003ePitch variation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ethe note changes according to the shell length (rather than by changing diameter)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003emelodic tuning, effects, articulated fills, rhythmic signatures\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":54356553892115,"sku":"7239","price":499.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/dad83228ca6476ec9eb44a519404f4687f87cd22_OCTOBANS_TAMA_7850N2H.jpg?v=1787302337","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/tama-octobans-7850n2h-7239","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
