Birch Shells
Silverstar shells are constructed from carefully selected Birch wood and crafted using the same moulding methods as high-end Tama drums. By creating the drums with this method results in a powerful sound with rich tones and a warm resonance.
Star-Mount System
Tama's star-mount system increases drum resonance and provides support at four points on the batter side hoop of a drum. The bracket eye-bolts slide to the left and right, so it's possible to prevent the eye-bolts from touching each other even when setting up two toms close to each other.
Sound Arc Hoops
Each of the Silverstar drums are fitted with Tama’s sound arc hoops, which are based off the “stick slave hoops” that were used on vintage snare drums. All the edges of the sound arc hoops bend inwards, this enhances the drums natural tones whilst offering increased sensitivity, precision, and control.
Low-Mass Lugs
The drums feature Tama’s specially designed separate lugs that are low in mass, reducing the surface are that the lugs occupy. With a smaller design, the lugs offer a structure that doesn’t hinder the shells resonance, resulting in a cleaner sound.
Slidable Tom Holder
To hold the rack tom in place, the Silverstar kit features Tama’s MTH900BN tom holder that allows the drum to be moved backwards or forwards. By simply loosening a square-headed bolt, the rack tom can be moved up to 50mm to any position, allow you to set up the drum to your specifications.
Claw Hooks
The claw hooks stabilise the wooden bass drum hoops, keeping them in place no matter how hard you play. The claws feature built-in rubber lining which help protect the wood and maintain tuning even during long performances. The rubber spaces also help protect the claw hooks and tension bolts form damage when the bass drum is placed on the ground.
