Tama Starclassic Walnut Birch 3-Piece Shell Pack (Molten Blue Ice Fade Laquer)

Tama's Starclassic Walnut Birch series represents a hybrid shell approach born from extensive testing with one of the most thermally stable and tonally rich hardwoods available. The 3-piece shell pack features Black Walnut inner plies bonded to Birch outer layers, delivering warmth in the mid-to-low frequencies while retaining the attack and projection Birch is known for. Finished in Molten Blue Ice Fade Lacquer, the kit combines a distinctive aesthetic with the acoustic properties of a carefully engineered multi-ply construction designed to respond across dynamic ranges.

Tom and floor tom shells use 6mm construction with 4 plies of Birch and 2 inner plies of Black Walnut, while the bass drum steps up to 8mm thickness with the same ply configuration for enhanced low-end response and resonance. Starclassic lugs mount directly to the shells, designed to minimise interference with shell vibration. The pack weighs 30.4kg and ships as a three-piece configuration, allowing players to spec their own sizes while maintaining the tonal signature of the Walnut/Birch hybrid shell formula across the entire kit.
