Tama Starclassic 4-Piece Walnut Birch Shell Pack (Phantasm Oyster)

The Tama Starclassic Walnut Birch 4-Piece Shell Pack delivers hybrid shell technology developed through extensive experimentation with premium tonewoods. Combining walnut's warmth and mid-to-low frequency response with birch's defined attack, this configuration centres on a 22x16 bass drum with integrated double tom holder. The Phantasm Oyster finish wraps 6mm toms and floor tom alongside an 8mm bass drum, each shell treated with internal lacquer for resonance control and structural integrity.

Shell construction employs 4-ply birch with 2 inner plies of black walnut on the 10x8 and 12x9 toms plus 16x14 floor tom, while the bass drum features 5-ply birch reinforced with 2 inner walnut plies for 8mm total thickness. Die-cast hoops deliver focused rimshots and consistent tuning stability across all drums. The Star-Cast Mounting System isolates toms from hardware vibration, allowing shells to resonate freely. Starclassic lugs provide secure tension across all tuning points while the included MTH1000 double tom holder enables rapid setup configurations.

This shell pack excludes snare drum, cymbals, hi-hats, stands and kick pedal, allowing drummers to build around existing hardware or select components independently. Two shipping cartons contain the complete shell configuration with bass drum measuring 65cm x 70cm x 56cm at 30.61kg and tom components in a 37.5cm x 37.5cm x 30.5cm box weighing 4.82kg.
