STAR is the flagship line for Tama drums. It takes the knowledge and research we cultivated for the Starclassic series to the next level, by reexamining every detail to enhance shell resonance. STAR Bubinga features a much thinner shell than Starclassic Bubinga. In addition, every shell comes equipped with 9mm thick sound focus rings for structural support. This shell configuration provides clear projection and resonance to highlight the distinct sound of Bubinga.
