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.

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.
