Flagship Maple Tone, Crafted to Perfection.

The Tama STAR Maple series represents the ultimate in Tama’s drum-making evolution. Handcrafted in Japan with meticulous care, this 6-piece shell pack features all-maple shells, reinforcement rings, and Tama’s most advanced hardware and mounting systems. The result is an instrument with vibrant resonance, fast attack, and rich warmth — all tailored for the demands of high-end studio and stage work.

The 5mm, 6-ply maple shells (with 5mm maple reinforcement hoops) produce a clean, controlled sound with plenty of sustain, while maintaining stunning sensitivity at all dynamic levels. Tama’s Super Resonant Mounting System (SRMS) and die-cast hoops allow each drum to breathe and project clearly without choking tone.

What sets this kit apart visually is its Raspberry Curly Maple finish — a boutique-grade, hand-applied high-gloss lacquer over exotic figured wood. This deep pink-and-red burst reveals intense grain contrast and a luxurious, custom-shop aesthetic that commands attention under stage lighting.
