Tama MA52ZS-CHS

General

Tama gave this five-piece Starclassic Maple shell set a remarkably stylish Champagne Sparkle finish, giving it a certain festive appeal. They created this series of drum kits using modern production techniques, combining great sound with excellent ease of use. This kit consists of a 22 x 18-inch virgin bass drum, 10 x 8 and 12 x 9-inch toms, and 14 x 12 and 16 x 14-inch floor toms. All hardware has a chrome-plated finish for added visual flair and protection.

Thin maple shells

The shells are made of maple, which ensures a warm sound and nicely emphasised lows. The toms and floor toms consists of 6 plies, and the bass drum consists of 8 plies - which is nothing out of the ordinary. However, in this case the plies are extra thin, which means the shells are only 5 and 6 mm thick, respectively. This results in the optimal transfer of vibrations from the drumhead to the shells, giving them a fantastic, open sound. Furthermore, to ensure optimal resonance, Tama fitted the kit with their StarCast tom mounting system, which suspends the toms by their hoops and makes minimal contact with the shells. Meanwhile, the floor tom legs features special air chambers that prevent the vibrations from disappearing into the ground.

Modern features

Both the toms and floor toms are fitted with the Quick-Lock system, which means positioning them just right can be done in a matter of moments. The bass drum features wooden hoops that are held in place by rubber-lined claw hooks. Finally, the die-cast zinc tom and floor tom hoops are kept in place by tension rods with rubber Hold Tight washers, which prevent them from coming loose.

Please note:

• The pictured stands and cymbals serve illustrative purposes only and are not included.
• A 'virgin' bass drum is a bass drum without tom mounts, which means the toms need to be mounted on a stand or separate tom holder. This set-up allows for more room for your cymbals and allows you to position them a little lower.
