TAMA’s special, limited for 2020, STAR Mahogany kits were masterfully hand-crafted in TAMA Japan’s Akatsuki drum building facility.
These kits feature 6mm, 6 ply African Mahogany shells wrapped in a decorative outer layer of Quilted Sapele. The shells offer warm, rich timbre, giving this kit a distinct tonal voice compared to STAR Maple and Bubinga. The shells also feature TAMA’s STAR Bearing Edge, 6mm African Mahogany Sound Focus Rings, and an expertly applied oil finish on the interior of the shells.
For maximum resonance, precise tuning, and solid projection, the shell hardware consists of Die-Cast Hoops, Low-Mass Lugs, and TAMA’s patented Quick-Lock Tom Brackets and the Super Resonant Mounting System. The kit is finished in a striking Natural Waterfall Sapele, highlighting the exotic beauty of the natural woodgrain for a powerful visual impression. Estimated street price: $1,099.99
