Tama drum shell pack with Walnut Birch character
The Tama WBR52RZS-TQP Starclassic Walnut Birch is a drum shell pack for drummers looking for a pronounced sound in the low and mid range, while keeping a clear and well-articulated stick attack. According to Tama, that comes from the combination of birch and American Black Walnut, where the warmth in the lows and mids is complemented by the high-frequency response of birch.
The tom and floor tom shells are built from 6 mm, using 4 plies of birch and 2 inner plies of American Black Walnut. The bass drum uses an 8 mm shell with 5 plies of birch and 2 inner plies of American Black Walnut. This keeps the familiar Starclassic character intact while adding its own tonal color in this Walnut/Birch version.
Construction, hardware and configuration
This Tama shell pack includes a 22" x 16" bass drum, 10" x 7" tom, 12" x 8" tom, 14" x 12" floor tom and 16" x 14" floor tom. It also comes with 2 x Tama MC69 Single tom holder. The 10 inch and 12 inch toms include the Star-Cast Mounting System, and the floor toms include legs with Air Cushioned Floor Tom Legs.
You also get Quick-Lock Tom Brackets, a Swivel-Wing Tom Holder, Bass Drum Spur Bracket, Die-Cast Hoops, Claw Hooks and EVANS® Heads. That makes this shell set a strong option for drummers who want a complete Starclassic foundation and prefer to build the rest of their setup themselves. This drum kit is supplied as a shell pack without stands, snare drum, cymbals or drum throne.
Blue Starclassic shell set for your own setup
The blue finish gives this Tama Starclassic Walnut Birch a striking look in a modern drum setup. Because this is a shell pack without stands, snare drum, cymbals or drum throne, you can assemble the rest of your drum kit to match your own playing style.
If you want to compare different configurations, it helps to match them carefully to the setup you have in mind. At Magna Music, you can discuss that with staff who play drums themselves and can think along with you in practical terms about the right Tama configuration.
