2 starclassic bubinga omni-tune drums It is time for something new in drums, because for the professional drummer, nearly everything is about time. Of course, drumming is about keeping time. But for the drummer at the highest levels in studio and stage performance, it's also about making time being on at the right time, every time. Every minute, in some cases every second, is critical. Getting the right tuning for the gig is a must. And getting the right tuning can use up those critical minutes and seconds. However, for those who demand and can afford the very best, achieving precisely tuned drums is about to take less time. A lot less. Presenting Starclassic Bubinga Omni-Tune Drums. These superb Japanese-crafted drums feature the Tama Omni-Tune system which allows all tuning from the batter side of the drum. No more lifting and turning over toms. No more getting off the drum stool and walking around the set to tune the front bass drum head. You play one side of the drums. And now that's where you tune them. Finally, you can spend less time tuning, and more time playing. You'll also spend more time playing because these new drums will make you want to play more. Bubinga's rich, warm, punchy, and powerful tones will satisfy and keep satisfying you just as they satisfy your most demanding engineers and producers. If you've fully explored maple and birch, and have been searching for something with the best qualities of both and unique colors of its own, this is it. Bubinga Omni-Tune drums are for the player who is serious about tone and tuning. These are drums for the drummer who has decided it's time to have it all. High Resonance Two-Point Lugs Bass Drum Claw Hook Tama's Omni-Tune lug has only two contact points Starclassic claw hooks feature rubber spacers that with the drum shell which allows the 100% Bubinga help protect wood hoops from damage. The hooks shells to resonate much more fully. and rods work as one unit and won't separate or rattle, even on loose tunings.

The look alone is the batter side. The Omni-Tune system expands and beautiful, but you can't stop at the look. It's the improves on the lug system invented in 1930 by drum sound that counts, and if Bubinga sounded like designer William David Gladstone, which he created for maple or birch, there really wouldn't be anything snare drums. Starclassic Bubinga Omni-Tune features to talk about. But Bubinga is different. It's kind of the Omni-Tune lug on every drum so the entire set a combination of maple and birch it's all of those benefits from faster, easier and more precise tuning. kits yet there's something special about it. You get the complete sound palette. It's punchy, yet it still sings out. Tuning Both Heads From The Batter Side Square Head Key (For A) And the Bubinga toms just sang to me. That's what I love, drums that sing. Very warm. They Tension Bolt A (for bottom head) Tension Bolt B (for Batter head) To tighten the bottom head from the batter side, you simply turn Tension Bolt A counterclockwise using the square head key. Hex Head Key (For B & A ) Tuning The Bottom Head From The Bottom Side To tighten the batter head from the batter side, you turn Tension Bolt B clockwise using the hex head key. didn't need any muffling. I could play them wide The bottom head can also be tuned from the bottom side in the traditional fashion, by turning Tension Bolt A' counterclockwise using the hex head key. open. The bass drum was solid, a nice punch. A very big sound, with a very big bite. Tension Bolt A (for bottom head) The Omni-Tune system is a great system. It's another thing that seriously puts this kit into a class by itself. The system saves you time from having to switch the drums over to the bottom and back after you've tuned the top. In a concert situation, this could really benefit me. If I'm doing a cross-tuning and I'm looking under the bottom of the tom and Prince makes a signal, I'm going to miss the cue. But with this system, I can just tune Bubinga Wood from the top real quick and I'm ready to go. I wish Drummers tend to bring out their best adjectives all my kits had this system. Besides, it's time for when describing the experience of playing on a something new in drums, something new to burst Bubinga drum set. Bubinga has been described out on the scene and surprise everyone as a wood that provides tones that are both and I believe that's what this is. "dark and mysterious, but with incredibly high overtones." Others aver that Bubinga offers the powerful projection of birch with the warmth of maple. "Bubinga has so much punch," says drummer John Tempesta, a long time Bubinga aficionado. "When you lay into it, it has so much bottom really warm, but punchy, with a great response. Bubinga rules!" While other companies have flirted with the idea of drums using Bubinga merely as an outer-ply, Tama is the first major company to craft 100% Bubinga shells.

4 kenny john aronoff tempesta Bubinga is the best sounding wood I've ever played. Bubinga is a very aggressive, yet still very warm It's so amazing to record with. The drums are just tone wood. The kick drum on this set is extremely so meaty. When I was tuning the 18" floor down, powerful and punchy, with a lot of body and a lower it sounded like a gong drum just massive. There's frequency than Starclassic Maple or Performer Birch. something about Bubinga that just gives this certain tone. Bubinga has a rich sound, with a lot of bottom I really like the new tuning system. Once you ends but without ringing. With maple you have a get familiar with it, it's very easy to use. The cool lot of volume, and a birch you have a more mellow thing is you don't have to turn the drums over to sound.

I can tune all the heads, including the front bass drum head, without It's kind of cool tuning the bottom heads from the getting off the drum stool. top, especially with big drums. Not having to lift them off the mounts makes life a bit easier. There's On top of all that, I think the drums look gorgeous, no having to hit the drum, flip it over and flip it back the wood, and how the hardware goes across the over to play the top head again. I kind of wish I had shell. They're really vintage looking, classy drums. this system on my own Bubinga set. Damn, every time I get something, you guys come up with something new! Always ahead of the game. I really like the look and design of the long lugs. The tubular lugs just add so much more depth to the drum. And the finish is beautiful as well. The brushed nickel lugs really complement the wood. It's just a real classy look.

The rich visual textures of the wood are enhanced by a hand-laid inlay of genuine abalone. drums are equipped standard with a traditional, "aged-white," coated front head, which features a smaller, classic-sized Tama logo.
