Revamping the Performer Line
There’s been a lot of hype surrounding Tama’s new Tama Starclassic Performer Walnut/Birch Drum Set. Tama was forced to move away from their popular Birch/Bubinga Performer line due to recent restrictions on harvesting Bubinga. While this initially seemed like bad news for Bubinga drum lovers, the new Walnut/Birch configuration offers a slightly different flavor of Performer that we think you’ll love!
Top-Notch Star Hardware
The new Tama Starclassic Performer Walnut/Birch Drum Set retains all of the high-end hardware features from the B/B Performer line that you’ve come to love. The Zinc die-cast hoops, quick lock mounts and the Air Cushioned floor tom feet. The Bass drum mount is also one of the most versatile on the market, giving you tremendous freedom regarding tom placement.
The Walnut/Birch shell for toms and floor toms is 6mm thick and constructed using 4-ply European Birch for the outer plies with 2-ply American Black Walnut interior plies. The bass drum shell specification is 8mm, 5-ply European Birch outer plies with 2-ply American Black Walnut interiors. The interior walnut shell ply includes a lacquer coating treatment, which adds an element of liveliness to the overall tone.
