Tama SC Performer B/B PP52HZS, Black Clouds & Silver Linings

The Starclassic Performer B/B series offers first-class conditions for use in the studio and on stage. The birch and bubinga boiler composition creates a sound that combines the best of both worlds: the strong attack and articulated sound of birch and the extremely warm, massive and deep sound of bubinga.

The Starclassic Performer boiler design

The boilers are made of 4 layers of birch wood with 3 inner layers of Bubinga and thus come to a total thickness of 6 mm (bass drum = 5 + 3; 8 mm). Thanks to the Star-Cast Mounting System, the Tom Toms are mounted in a free-swinging manner and can thus unfold their full sound potential. And what the suspension is for the Tom Toms, the feet are for the Floor Tom: these are spring-mounted so that the boiler can swing unhindered. Both the Tom Toms and the Floor Tom are fitted with cast zinc tyres. These not only influence the tuning behavior of a drum, but also have a stronger influence on the sound than a flanged steel tension tire. The bass drum claws of the Performer Drums have rubber pads that protect the tension tire and improve the resonance characteristics of the bass drum. The pads are firmly attached to the claws and cannot rattle or even fall off. The skins finally come from the G2 series from Evans.
