The Tama WBR52LBNS-RWO Starclassic Walnut/Birch Red and White Oyster is a limited-edition shell set featuring hybrid shells made from walnut and birch. The innovative combination of walnut and birch produces a modern, warm sound with a very rich bass response that is also clear and articulate. This all-round drum kit from Tama features the legendary Starclassic shell hardware, which impresses with features including the Star Cast Mounting System, cast tension hoops and spring-loaded floor tom legs. Combined with Evans heads and Starclassic lugs, the result is a contemporary drum kit with a modern sound and an impressive finish.

All shells in the Tama Starclassic Walnut/Birch series are a hybrid of American walnut and European birch. The bass drum consists of a total of 7 plies (5 plies of birch + 2 inner plies of walnut), whilst the toms consist of 6 plies (4 plies of birch + 2 inner plies of walnut). After extensive research, Tama was able to achieve the most modern sound with this combination, covering all musical styles. The dominant feature of this sound is the high bass content, caused by the two layers of walnut. Birch wood lends the complex frequency mix a striking clarity and a powerful attack. In addition, the shells are lacquered on the inside, which further focuses the sound.

The die-cast zinc hoops are extremely solid and enhance the sound. They also optimise contact between the screw and the hoop, ensuring tuning stability and reliability. The bass drum lugs on the Starclassic Walnut/Birch Drums feature rubber pads that protect the hoops and improve the bass drum’s resonance.

The floor tom legs are air-sprung and the tried-and-tested Starcast Mounting System ensures that the shells can vibrate freely and the sound unfolds perfectly. The Starclassic lugs are extremely sturdy and perfectly suited to the rigours of touring. The toms and floor toms come factory-fitted with Evans G2 clear heads. The bass drum features an Evans EQ4 head with a damping ring, ensuring nothing stands in the way of immediate playing enjoyment.
