Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
At TAMA, the STAR series embodies a handcrafted approach and advanced acoustic research, designed as a technological showcase for the brand. A direct heir to the ideas that made the Starclassic kits successful, it revises the construction, hardware, and mounting interfaces to fully unleash the natural vibration of the shells. The STAR Maple 20-12-14 is thus positioned as a high-end acoustic drum shell pack, built to last and respond to every nuance of playing.
Who This Drum Kit Is For
This TAMA STAR Maple is aimed at advanced and professional drummers seeking an expressive, precise drum kit that is easy to control with microphones. Its 20-12-14 configuration favors versatility: dynamic and articulate for jazz, fusion, or funk, but also clean and punchy for pop and light rock. The 20" bass drum offers an excellent balance between impact, quick response, and compact size, ideal for tight stages and studio sessions.
Features and Innovations
The "Solid Core Ply" concept is based on a 5-ply, 5 mm maple construction, reinforced by 5 mm "Sound Focus Rings" to concentrate energy and stabilize shell behavior. The Super Resonant Mounting System promotes tom openness, while the Quick-Lock mounts speed up setup with memory locks-a real plus on tour. The Die-Cast Hoops improve tuning stability and attack precision, and anti-vibration solutions (high-mass rubber feet on the bass drum, hollow construction floor tom legs) help maintain a clean and controlled tone.
Sound Characteristics
Maple is appreciated for its natural balance: round lows, rich mids, and clear highs, with a consistent response regardless of tuning. On this STAR Maple, the density provided by the "Solid Core Ply" enhances low-end authority and delivers a firmer attack while maintaining a very "hi-fi" musicality.
The 20 x 14 bass drum delivers a powerful yet quick low end, perfect for a defined and controlled kick. The 12 x 8 tom offers precise pitch with controlled sustain, while the 14 x 14 floor tom develops a clear depth and present midrange. The Die-Cast Hoops accentuate articulation (notably on rimshots) and secure tuning, and the Remo heads provide a reliable, immediately playable base that is easy to customize to your style.
