Two brand new artesian hand-painted, lacquer finishes begin a new chapter in the story of the hugely popular Starclassic Walnut/Birch series. Delivering the same kinetic energy as our other “Molten” finishes, these latest additions bring a new visual liveliness and artistic intensity on both the cool and warm end of the color spectrum.
Molten Blue Ice Fade exudes a clean and cool vibe that’s accompanied by the subtle intricacies of the molten pattern running across the entirety of each shell. This finish is an eye-catcher and a statement maker, both on stage and in the studio. For those after a more fiery impression, Molten Dark Raspberry Fade capitalizes on dark shades of red that quite literally fade to black. It’s bold, impactful, and an endless feast for the eye meant to inspire your creative mind.
The evolution of Starclassic from maple, birch, bubinga, birch/bubinga continues, and now – after intense analysis, rigorous research, development, and product testing – we have arrived at the latest Starclassic modern development, Starclassic Walnut/Birch.
We discovered the perfect ratio of walnut to birch that produced a superior quality of low-to-mid frequency warmth that perfectly complemented the clear attack and higher frequency projection of birch. The sound is familiar, but distinctively different from Tama sounds of the past.
The Starclassic series continues to be a representation of our collective drum-making passion, wisdom, and pursuit to offer refined and differentiated sounds. Starclassic Walnut/Birch defines our commitment to evolve our drum sounds and inspire the contemporary drummer.
