Full Description

Minimum Shell Contact

From the Star-Cast Mounting System to the single small lugs, every aspect of Starclassic was tailored to combine Tama's ideal of the bare-minimum of shell contact. Instead of metal badges riveted to the shell, Starclassic uses a maple air-hole cap and a logo that is imprinted onto the shell before the final finish is applied. These features also contribute to Starclassic's rich, timeless appearance. Tama's innovative Star-Mount system is also implemented on the rack toms, maximising the drums' resonance and providing support at four separate points on the batter side hoop of the drums.

Maple Shells

With Maple shells the drums project smoother and warm tones, with boosted bass and even mid and high frequencies. This specific frequency projection enables the drums to attain clarity within the mix without being overbearing. The transient sound of the snare makes it applicable to a wide range of different genres, making it versatile and encourages a multi-purpose use.

Quick-Lock Tom Brackets

Tama quick-lock tom brackets provide a fast and easy way to setup and breakdown your kit. Additionally, once the drum is positioned on legs or a tom stand, there is no need to attach and adjust separate memory locks to save the setting. By simply sliding the switch on the bracket, it will separate into two parts, keeping the memory lock portion on the stand or leg, saving your positioning and making the next set up quick and easy. Quick-Lock brackets also employ rubber lining for the purpose of reducing vibration transference to the tom stands or floor tom legs; further isolating the drums and enhancing resonance.

Die-Cast Hoops

Tama's zinc Die-Cast Hoops are manufactured by injecting molten metal into moulds, creating a dense hoop that's more consistent in shape than triple-flanged hoops. This design provides the drums with a crisp attack, with clear, resonating highs and powerful rim shots. Die-Cast hoops make tuning more consistent and easier to achieve because the tension bolts always contact the hoop properly.

Claw Hooks

The claw hooks stabilise the wooden bass drum hoops, keeping them in place no matter how hard you play. The claws feature built-in rubber lining which helps protect the wood and maintain tuning even during long performances. The rubber spaces also help protect the claw hooks and tension bolts from damage when the bass drum is placed on the ground.

Air Cushioned Floor Tom Legs

Starclassic's air pocket rubber feet are designed with a special air chamber that absorbs shock and helps eliminate the transfer of vibrations to the floor, creating an enhanced and comfortable playing experience.

Perfect Foundation Setup

The Tama Lars Ulrich Starclassic Maple Shell Pack offers a foundation setup that can be finished with the hardware and cymbals of your choice and expanded with add-on drums and holders if you choose. When paired with high-quality cymbals and hardware, the Starclassic Maple Shell Pack offers a completely unique and one-of-a-kind drumming experience to drummers of any level.

About Lars Ulrich

Lars Ulrich became famous through the formation of his band, Metallica. Ulrich's drumming style has changed throughout his career. During the 1980s he was known for his fast, aggressive thrash beats however he has since been considerably influential due to both the popularity of his band, as well as his drum techniques. His highly-demanding styles require equipment which he can depend upon, which inspired the birth of the Lars Ulrich Limited Edition Snare. With an overwhelming peak volume that cuts straight through any sounds produced by other instruments in the band, Lars Ulrich has been using this snare for the past decade.
