Tama Star Bubinga 6-Piece Shell Pack – Sunset Australian Acacia Burst
Exotic bubinga tone, flagship Japanese craftsmanship, and a stunning hand-applied burst finish — the Tama STAR Bubinga is a world-class drum kit built for elite performance.
Deep Tone. Artistic Finish. Tama’s Flagship in Bubinga.
The Tama STAR Bubinga series represents the pinnacle of Tama’s drum-making artistry. This 6-piece shell pack, finished in the breathtaking Sunset Australian Acacia Burst, is handcrafted in Japan using 9-ply bubinga shells with a sound-focused top and bottom bearing edge design, delivering unmatched warmth, projection, and tonal depth.
Bubinga is known for its dense, low-end-heavy voice — darker and more resonant than maple or birch — making it ideal for drummers who need thunderous lows, balanced mids, and warm articulation. Each shell is precision-crafted using Tama's Super Resonant Mounting System (SRMS) and die-cast hoops for a controlled, powerful sound with plenty of attack.
This specific configuration combines shallow rack toms with full-sized floor toms and a matching 14"x6.5" snare, giving players a balanced, powerful kit that's equally at home in the studio or on stage. The Sunset Australian Acacia Burst finish is a stunning tribute to boutique aesthetics — blending natural wood grain with rich amber-to-dark edge fading.
