Review: Starclassic Performer Bubinga/Birch Drum Set - DRUM! Magazine

drummagazine.com

Tama's Starclassic Performer Bubinga/Birch kit strikes a chord with its hybrid shell design, combining the crisp attack of birch with the robust low-end of bubinga. The kit boasts a commendable sound profile, superior hardware, and a striking finish, making it visually and sonically appealing. The shallow floor toms might lack the desired low-end punch for some, and the finish on the bass drum hoops may not suit everyone's taste. Despite these minor gripes, the kit delivers high-end performance at a midrange price, making it a solid choice for drummers seeking both style and substance.

Tama Starclassic Performer Bubinga/Birch Kit review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Tama Starclassic Performer Bubinga/Birch kit shines with its intriguing wood combination, offering a striking blend of birch and bubinga, resulting in a powerful attack and rich lows. The dazzling finish and modern sizes make it a standout for professionals. However, its long kick drum requires ample space, which might be a challenge for some setups. Overall, it's a solid pro-level kit that impresses visually and acoustically.

At 3:57 of this video clip provided by Gear Gods and from their "RIGGED" series, Nick Pierce, 2016 Drummer of Unearth shows off his Tama Starclassic Performer Bubinga/Birch 4 pc Shell Pack Transparent PS42S.

"Tom sizes are 10, 12, 16, and 22x20 kick."

"Great sounding drums. The mix of the bubinga and birch gives it a great pop. The initial attack right off of the drums is incredible. They're perfect for metal. However they engineered these things, they did it for just what I do.It's an incredible sounding kit. They are really big sounding. They have a real quick sustain. They get into the mix and get out right when you want them."

"So, for heads on the drums I'm using Evans EC2's for batters all across the top and then on bottoms I'm using Evans G1's. For the Snare drum, that's a Tama SLP 13x7 G Maple Snare. I've got an Evans Hybrid on top.
