The concept behind Superstar was to create drums that drummers really want to play with the best value in this price range. Superstar isn't another example of drums that only imitate the looks and finishes of professional drums. Superstar is more than just attitude and pose. Superstar delivers the real and complete deal: rock drums with real professional sound and features never before achieved in this price range. Superstar's main shell material is birch with basswood inner and outer plies. Newly designed 'Sound Bridge' high tension lugs ensure excellent sound and strength. Superstar also features the same Star-Cast Mounting System and zinc die-cast hoops used in TAMA's hi-end Starclassics. In sound, features, looks and quality, Superstar simply surpasses its price tag.
Birch and Basswood Shells
Tama's highest priority feature when developing the new Superstar series was sound. Superstar shells use birch for the main inner plies for strong projection and aggressive open sound. To enhance Superstar's great looks, basswood, with its excellent consistency and regular grain patterns, is utilized for the inner plies on all Superstar shells. Precisely cut bearing edges bring out the great response and powerful resonance of these superbly crafted shells.

Die Cast Hoops
No other drum embodies pro features at an affordable price like Superstar.
In a first for this price range, Superstar is equipped with the same zinc die-cast hoops featured on Starclassic drums. Die-cast hoops not only make tuning easier and more consistent, they also provide crisp attack, clear and resonant highs, and much more powerful rim shots.
Star-Cast Mounting System
All Superstar rack toms are fitted with the same Star-Cast Mounting System as Starclassic drums. This unique system offers total tom isolation and unhindered shell resonance without the adverse effect on tuning or complicated head changes found in less advanced suspension designs.
Sound Bridge High-Tension Lugs
The Sound Bridge high-tension, low-mass lug was specifically designed for Superstar. Sound Bridge's unique structure looks much like a traditional high-tension lug, but the body of the lug in. floats in. over the shell to minimize shell contact so the drum can resonate to its fullest. However, Sound Bridge still offers all the benefits of the traditional high-tension lug: it offsets the tension of the batter side and bottom side heads, reduces the stress on the shell, and provides greater protection to the drum shell during transport.
Power Craft Drumheads
All Superstar's in. Power Craft in. drum heads ensure a great sound practically right out of the box! Batter side heads are made of Dupont Mylar film for richer tone and greater durability. Ring mufflers on bass drum heads remove the need for extra internal muffling.
Quick-set Tilter
All Superstar's catalog kits come standard with upgraded Roadpro cymbal stands. The toothless in. Quick-set in. cymbal tilter lets you adjust the angle freely and hold it in position by the friction of six metal disc plates instead of gears. You're completely free to adjust it to any angle you desire. This mechanism also has a more durable structure than the conventional gear tilter.
