TAMA STAGESTAR

TAMA STAGESTAR

TAMA

Description

Even before TAMA was established as a separate company over 50 years ago, they were producing complete, quality, value-laden, full-sized, entry-level drum kits under the Star brand. The TAMA Stagestar drum sets maintain that long tradition, providing value-minded players with the sound and playability they crave at an outstanding price and in an all-inclusive package.

TAMA Stagestar 5-Piece Set Tom Shells

Drum Shells That Speak Clearly

TAMA Stagestar's 6-ply, 7 mm shells are made of poplar. Poplar shells are known for their combination of a strong attack and warm, full sound, with a deep fundamental and balanced sustain. They also produce a wide dynamic range, with clarity and control from whisper quiet to full-blown blitz. This five-piece kit includes 10x8" and 12x9" rack toms, 16x15" floor tom, 14x5.5" snare and a beefy 22x16" kick drum.

TAMA Stagestar 5-Piece Set Double-Braced Hardware

Hardware Sturdy Enough for the Stage

TAMA was the first company to develop heavy-duty drum hardware, and the double-braced cymbal boom, hi-hat and snare stands, and drum throne included with the TAMA Stagestar kit can stand (we couldn't resist) up to that legacy—and to the rigors of heavy playing. The drum throne features spindle adjustment for quicker and more precise positioning than a fixed-bolt-style height adjustment. The included kick drum pedal has separate spring tension and beater angle adjustments for easy personalization of your pedal feel. The drums also feature TAMA's Omnisphere tom mount, with a sturdy ball and socket arm design that holds securely while allowing for flexible positioning. The mounting system is designed to keep the L-arms from penetrating the tom shells, making for unimpeded shell resonance and a clear, open tom sound.

TAMA Stagestar 5-Piece Set Cymbals

Everything But the Sticks

The TAMA Stagestar is a complete kit, ready to set up and play out of the box—the only extra things you need are a pair of sticks and the urge to drum (don't forget to practice those rudiments). It even includes cymbals—a 14" hi-hat pair and 16" crash—made of a heavier gauge brass than you normally find in entry-level kits, providing increased durability and volume, as well as richer tone. 

TAMA Stagestar 5-Piece Set Full Kit

Play With Sparkle

Just because it's a kit aimed at the value-conscious drummer doesn't mean that it looks plain. TAMA sparkle wrap finishes in a variety of available colors make it stand out, whether you're jamming with friends or taking it to the stage. Combining full-size drums and full-size sound at a less-than-full-sized price, you'll be more than ready to find your groove.

    Coming in it to this knowing that I'll need to upgrade the Hi-Hat and Ride, but they are fine to start off with.... I love this set. I got to learn about tuning and once you set them the way you like you'll be happy. the floor tom is deep and rich. The snare is sharp. I'm happy with the set. it comes with a throne and a tuning key so you get everything you need in one box.

  • Shocking disappointment....

    Un- boxed product after paying for it, found that the entire wrap on kick drum was bubbled and separating. Definite entry level....🤔😒

    I am an older adult beginner. My first drum set is an electronic set, which I enjoy playing, but I went to a concert and wanted the feeling of sitting behind an acoustic set. I started to research entry level kits and found several reviews recommending this set. However, it was a bit more expensive than the other entry level sets. One night while I was doing a little midnight shopping, I saw an ad for this kit on sale in the Scorched Copper color and it was on sale for a great price. I am so glad I ordered it. This set doesn't look cheap like the other entry level sets I looked at. It was easy to put together by following some YouTube videos. The drums and hardware are really nice. I liked that it came with everything I needed except the sticks. The cymbals aren't very good, but the cymbal stands are decent. I replaced the cymbals and am going to replace the throne as soon as I get my Gear Rewards. I am so glad that ad popped up on my iPad. I've been using Drumeo as a 90-day trial. I play the e-kit in the morning and the Tama's in the afternoon. If only I would've started drumming 50 or 60 years ago — but, it's never too late!

    Around how floor around area will this set need for the setup?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    The TAMA Stagestar 5-piece drum set with a 22" bass drum will generally require a floor area of about 5 feet wide by 4 to 6 feet deep (roughly 20 to 30 square feet), depending on how the drummer sets up and how much room they need to play comfortably. Here’s a rough breakdown: Width (left to right): ~5 feet (to accommodate the floor tom and hi-hat stand on the sides) Depth (front to back): ~4 to 6 feet (bass drum to the back of the throne)

    What do you want? Birch is more resonant than poplar but poplar "hits" harder. Poplar is good wood.
