Most drummers can play on any kit and quickly recognize features that complement their individual style and sound. A few minutes on a Tama Silverstar set and you'll recognize the advantages immediately. With features like 100% first quality Birch shells, hardened steel triple flanged hoops, and an improved Star-Mount suspension system with slideable tom holder, this kit is a clear contender at any price. Whether you're recording or gigging, the open-ended sonic palette of the Silverstar line is versatile enough for any musical application. All-Birch Shell Carefully selected birch materials are utilized for the Silverstar shells. Tama uses the same manufacturing process and methods to create Silverstar that Tama uses to build their high-end drums. The end result is an instrument that exhibits powerful rich tone and resonance usually found in more expensive drums. New Star-Mount System The new Star-Mount System was designed to increase the resonance of the drums. Four minimal contact points suspend the drum without touching the shell and provide maximum tone and resonance. Swiveling Eye Bolts The tom brackets feature eye bolts that swivel from side to side so they're never in the way when you reposition your toms. New Low-Mass Lug Silverstar drums feature newly designed separate lugs. Because these new lugs make less contact with the surface of the shell, they allow the drums to fully vibrate.
