News
The Tama Superstar Hyper Drive 5 piece drum set brings professional features that you will absolutely love into a price range that nearly every experienced drummer can afford. Hyper-Drive is the "New standard depth" size on tom toms. Its short depth creates enhanced attack, punchy sound and quick response. And more it allows you to set up the rack toms in lower positions so you can post the toms more freely.

Shells
The highest priority feature when developing the 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 ply on all superstar shells. Precisely cut bearing edges bring out the great response and powerful resonance of these superbly crafted shells.

Star-Cast Mounting System
All Superstar Hyper-Drive rack toms are fitted with a Star-Cast Mounting System similar to the Starclassic drums. This unique system offers total tom isolation and unhindered shell resonance without any adverse effect on tuning or complicated head changes found in less advanced suspension systems.

20 Inch Ultra Deep Bass Drums
With Superstar Hyper-Drive, the 20x22 inch Ultra Deep bass drum size is now available. This size provides thunderous low end combined with maximum resonance.

Sound Bridge High-Tension Lugs
The Sound Bridge high-tension, low-mass lug was specifically designed for Superstar. Sound Bridge’s unique structure looks like a traditional high-tension lug, but the body of the lug "floats" 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 the resonant side heads, reducing the stress on the shell while providing greater protection to the drum shell during transport.

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.

Power Craft Drumheads
All Superstar's "Power Craft" 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.
