A historic TAMA drum kit reissue honoring the original Superstar.
The TAMA Superstar limited-edition 50th Anniversary Reissue pays tribute to the legendary drums that cemented TAMA's reputation for pro-level gear. Revisiting the original specs that made Superstar a game-changer, this shell pack delivers the same powerful, nuanced sound that captivated drummers decades ago. With vintage shell dimensions and appointments plus thoughtful modern upgrades, the Superstar Reissue lets you experience a virtually unchanged version of the revolutionary kit that sparked TAMA's enduring legacy.
Faithfully Recreates the Iconic Birch Shells and Sound of the Original Superstar Drums
The Superstar Reissue shells recreate the original 6-ply, 9mm all-birch construction to produce the rich, focused tone that made Superstar famous. Thicker than modern drums, the birch plies provide exceptional attack, full low-end punch and great projection. Even the interior shell finish matches the vintage drums to maintain their highly resonant sound. These special shells let you hear and feel the same thunderous, nuanced tone that captivated drummers when Superstar first arrived in 1972.
Comes With Special 50th Anniversary Badges, Lugs and Drum Heads
Along with the retro shell design, the Superstar Reissue comes with period-correct hardware appointments, right down to the throwback lug casings, tom mounts and Superstar anniversary badges. It also includes custom Remo drumheads sporting the classic Superstar logo so you get a truly authentic look and vibe. Between the vintage shells and ornate visual details, the 50th Anniversary Superstar Reissue exudes retro charm.
Unique Modern/Vintage Hybrid Sizes for Versatility
This special reissue combines mostly original Superstar drum dimensions with a touch of modernity. The vintage 22x14" kick, 12x8" rack tom and 16x16" floor tom capture Superstar's old-school vibe and proportions. But the 10x8" rack tom uses a contemporary depth for a more focused attack. With this clever blend of classic and current sizes, the Superstar Reissue offers enhanced adaptability for drummers in 2022 and beyond.
Available in Classic Superstar Color Options With Matching Bass Drum Hoops
Just like the first Superstar kits, the reissue comes in four retro color finishes: Aqua Marine, Cherry Wine, Super Mahogany and Super Maple. All choices feature matching bass drum hoops for a cohesive look. Whether you crave the punchy tone of a mahogany Superstar or the crystalline shimmer of a maple, the anniversary collection has the perfect hue to complement your playing style.
Celebrates the Revolutionary Drum Kit That Launched TAMA's Legacy
Above all, the 50th Anniversary Superstar Reissue commemorates the extraordinary drums that paved the way for TAMA's enduring prestige. By faithfully recreating Superstar's acclaimed shells and sound, this special edition honors the kit's rich heritage in TAMA's timeline. If you want to experience the power and finesse that built TAMA's reputation, this meticulously crafted reissue is a thrilling way to connect with history.
