Tama Starclassic Bubinga Elite EFXSnare Drums

Additional Snare Drums!

The concept behind Starclassic Bubinga ELITE was to provide today's drummers with our very highest level of craftsmanship. The new Bubinga ELITE finishes include TAMA's legendary cordia outer ply, a quilted bubinga outer ply, and several new patterns featuring unique stripe finishes. Seven handcrafted finishes are available.

Features - African bubinga wood is approximately 53% harder than maple and birch. Acoustically speaking, bubinga provides very sharp and aggressive attack combined with unbelievably rich and fat lows. Our bubinga shells are slightly thicker than our maple drums which we have determined allows the drums to speak their fullest.

Minimum Shell Contact - Our designers never stop looking for new ways to increase drum resonance. Nothing is too small to consider because many minutes improvements can add up to a signifcant difference in sound. Two good examples of this kind of exacting research are the replacement of the traditional metal badge with the new imprinted insignia and the small metal soundhole with one made of maple.

Die-Cast Hoops - Hoops not only affect drum tuning; they also affect drum sound. That's why the choice of hoops was so important to the designers of TAMA's professional drum lines. For our Starclassic Series, we choose zinc die-cast hoops, which are manufactured by injecting molten metal into molds. Die-cast hoops have more density and are more consistent in shape than triple flanged hoops, which are manufactured by bending metal plates. Die-cast hoops make tuning more consistent and easier to achieve because the tension bolts always contact the hoop properly. Drums fitted with die-cast hoops also offer crisper attack, clear and resonant highs and much more powerful rim shots.

MUS80A Strainer - When you move the lever to the on position, the lever simultaneously locks at the highest tension position—the lever won't slip to the off position even on the loosest tension settings. The MUS80A is totally secure when you want it on—and easy to switch off when you want it off.

MUS80B Butt - The MUS80B not only allows subtle snappy snare adjustments, you can change your snare side head without removing the snare wires. Just loosen two screws and the snare wires easily detach from the butt. Reattachment—with your original set-up intact—is just as simple.

Hold Tight™ Washers - The Hold Tight washer is a totally unique invention: a non-loosening washer! Its cup-shaped stainless steel washer contains a rubber ring so the tension rod pushes both the cup washer and the rubber ring. Normally, vibrations will eventually loosen the tension rod. But the softness of Hold Tight's rubber ring keeps it in contact with both the tension rod and the hoop at all times and maintains friction between them, so that tension is always preserved.

Evans® Heads - Evans® heads are featured on all Starclassic drums (except bass drum front heads). On the rack and floor toms, Genera G2 2-ply clear batter heads and Genera G1 1-ply clear bottom heads provide both durability and solid sound. Starclassic bass drums are fitted with Genera EQ4 clear batter heads.
