A exacting reissue of the legendary TAMA Superstar kit.
The TAMA 50th Limited Superstar Reissue 4-piece shell pack authentically recreates the iconic vintage birch shells and sound of the original Superstar drums. First released in 1972, Superstar signified TAMA's foray into professional drums. Now, for TAMA's 50th anniversary, the pioneering Superstar design has been meticulously reissued to deliver that same coveted punchy attack, fat body and deep low end.
Faithfully Recreates Iconic Vintage Birch Shells
This 50th Anniversary reissue utilizes the original 6-ply, 9 mm 100-percent birch shells to achieve the powerful, resonant tone that cemented Superstar as TAMA's first professional drum set. The shells recreate the specific vintage interior finish to capture the essence of the originals. You'll experience the same legendary attack, projection and low end as the generation-defining '70s Superstars.
Delivers Legendary Attack and Low End
The thicker, 6-ply 9 mm birch shells are integral to the Superstar sound, generating commanding attack, full low end and great projection. Compared to modern thin shells, these vintage-spec drums resonate with a mighty voice. The all-birch wood construction produces organic, musical tones across the entire tuning range. From cracking snare to floor-shaking kick, Superstar's shells unleash a mighty voice.
Includes Period-Correct Hardware and Finishes
All the drums feature the original Superstar badge, lugs, tom mounts and snare throw-off. They come fitted with commemorative 50th Anniversary Remo Coated Ambassador batter and resonant heads with vintage-style Superstar logos. You even have a choice of four classic Superstar wraps: Aqua Marine, Cherry Wine, Super Mahogany and Super Maple.
Modern Upgrades for Playability and Convenience
While authentically vintage, TAMA has updated the new Superstars for modern playability. The shells now feature contemporary specs like bass drum spurs and the MTH800 tom holder for stability and reliable tuning. The 10" rack tom is a nod to contemporary sizes. Overall, the Superstar Reissue blends classic sound with modern refinements.
Celebrates 50 Years of TAMA Innovation
This painstakingly crafted 50th Anniversary reissue commemorates TAMA's five decades as a leader in drums. It honors the original 1972 Superstar kit that pioneered TAMA's journey into professional-grade drums. Owning this collectible piece celebrates TAMA's legacy and your own as a discerning drummer.
