Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
The TAMA STAR series represents the brand's technological and artisanal showcase: it builds on the experience accumulated with the Starclassic family, then takes it further by reexamining every detail that influences shell vibration. The STAR Bubinga version emphasizes a thin shell and internal reinforcements (SFR) to optimize resonance, projection, and clarity, while retaining the distinctive character of Bubinga.
Who This Drum Kit Is For
This kit is primarily aimed at advanced drummers and studio musicians seeking a premium, precise, and expressive acoustic drum set. The 20-inch configuration is particularly suited for contexts where a space-efficient set is desired (small stages, sessions, rehearsals) without sacrificing fullness. It excels in pop, rock, funk, fusion, modern jazz, and contemporary music, with a very clean response across dynamics.
Features and Innovations
The shell design combines a thin Bubinga (5 mm) with 9 mm Sound Focus Rings (SFR) that provide structural support while promoting even vibration. The kit features a Super Resonant mounting system designed to free the shell and maximize resonance, as well as a Quick-Lock tom mount for fast and reliable setup. For stability, the bass drum spurs have large-mass soft rubber feet to improve anchoring, while the floor tom legs feature hollow, soft rubber construction to limit unwanted floor vibrations.
Sound
Bubinga is known for its dense and authoritative low end, solid projection, and a controlled sense of power. On this STAR, the choice of a thin shell adds more openness and breathability, while the SFR structure the attack and note sustain: the result is a sound that is both deep and very clear, with controlled sustain and excellent harmonic definition.
The 20 x 14 bass drum offers a convincing balance between impact and roundness, ideal for well-grounded bass notes without overpowering the mix. The toms remain clear, responsive to dynamics, and adapt well to both tight, articulate tunings and lower, heavier settings. The Remo heads contribute to a familiar response, ready for recording and easy to fine-tune according to your touch.
