This Tama Starclassic Performer B/B 24x18 bass drum shell is your ticket into one of the most respected professional shell lines Tama has ever built — the same Bubinga/Birch hybrid construction favored by touring and studio pros worldwide. Birch handles the crack and attack, three inner plies of bubinga add depth and low-end richness, and the result is a shell tone that's genuinely hard to replicate outside this series. In the harder-to-find 24" diameter, this shell is a serious upgrade piece for anyone chasing a bigger, more commanding low end without going full custom-shop money.
Bearing edges are in great shape and there are no cracks anywhere on the shell — the only issue is cosmetic discoloration on the White Silk wrap. This is a shell-only listing, no hardware included, ready for you to outfit exactly the way you want.
