The tom and floor tom shells are built from \u003cstrong\u003e4 plies of birch with 2 inner plies of maple at 6mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the bass drum uses a heavier \u003cstrong\u003e5-ply birch and 2 inner-ply maple construction at 7mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. Birch delivers a crisp, punchy attack with tighter low end and strong projection, while the maple inner plies add warmth and body to round out the overall tone. The result is a powerful, articulate sound with depth — a combination that works across rock, pop, funk, and live performance contexts where cut and presence matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 5-piece shell pack is built around a \u003cstrong\u003e22\"x16\" bass drum\u003c\/strong\u003e, with \u003cstrong\u003e10\"x8\" and 12\"x9\" rack toms\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e14\"x12\" and 16\"x14\" floor toms\u003c\/strong\u003e — giving you four tom voices across a wide size range. The full-depth 16\" bass drum delivers genuine weight and presence, and the dual floor toms extend your low-end options considerably. Two single tom attachments and an \u003cstrong\u003eMTH800 Double Tom Holder\u003c\/strong\u003e are included, providing the mounting hardware for the full rack tom configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStar-Cast Mounting System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTama's \u003cstrong\u003eStar-Cast Mounting System\u003c\/strong\u003e supports each rack tom via the shell exterior rather than penetrating the interior, keeping the shell free to resonate fully. It's the same mounting philosophy used throughout the Starclassic range, ensuring that the performance of the maple\/birch shells isn't compromised by unnecessary hardware contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDie-Cast Hoops\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDie-cast hoops\u003c\/strong\u003e are fitted throughout, delivering a focused, controlled feel and precise tuning stability. On a limited edition kit finished in matte black, the black die-cast hoops are a key part of the visual coherence — and they perform as well as they look, with a solid, defined response that suits the punchy character of the birch-dominant shells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReady to Play\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvans drumheads\u003c\/strong\u003e are pre-fitted across the shell pack, giving you a high-quality, gig-ready setup straight from the box without needing to immediately invest in aftermarket heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlat Black – Blacked Out Black Limited Edition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBlacked Out Black Limited Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e takes the Starclassic Performer and strips it back to a single, uncompromising aesthetic. The \u003cstrong\u003eFlat Black\u003c\/strong\u003e finish is matte, not gloss — no sparkle, no shine, no visual noise. Combined with matching black hardware and die-cast hoops, it's a fully unified look that's confident precisely because it doesn't rely on visual flourishes. For drummers who want a serious, stage-ready kit that commands attention on its own terms, this is that kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Starclassic Performer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition: Blacked Out Black Limited Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Flat Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBass Drum: 22\"x16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRack Tom 1: 10\"x8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRack Tom 2: 12\"x9\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloor Tom 1: 14\"x12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloor Tom 2: 16\"x14\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTom\/Floor Tom Shell: 6mm – 4-Ply Birch + 2 Inner Plies Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBass Drum Shell: 7mm – 5-Ply Birch + 2 Inner Plies Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: Star-Cast Mounting System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoops: Die-Cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrumheads: Evans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTom Holders: MTH800 Double Tom Holder \u0026amp; 2x Single Tom Attachments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShell Pack only – snare drum, cymbals, stands and pedal sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e This listing is for the shell pack only.
