Tama Starclassic Performer Birch Bubinga Vintage Nickel Sparkle:

The bass drum of this Vintage Nickel Sparkle shell set is what they call a 'virgin' bass drum, which means it does not have a tom mount. Instead of tom holders mounted on the bass drum, you'll get two separate MC69 tom holders, that you can easily attach to your cymbal stands. That doesn't just improve tom resonance, it also gives the bass drum a more powerful low end. Furthermore, this kit in Volcanic Burst has zinc die-cast hoops, instead of the common triple-flanged hoops. These hoops don't just create a sharper attack and clear highs, but they also allow for more powerful rimshots and, more importantly, they make sure your tuning stays consistent.

General characteristics

The The 22-inch bass drum of this Starclassic Performer kit in Vintage Nickel Sparkle is equipped with sturdy claw hooks that have a rubber lining. This lining minimises the chance of the hooks damaging your bass drum hoops. Furthermore, the bass drum legs are Air Cushioned, which means that they have a special air chamber that prevents the sound and sustain of your bass drum from disappearing into the ground, while another advantage is that they are shock absorbing.
