2013 NAMM Show Report



The 2013 Winter NAMM show kicked off on January 24th. at the Anaheim Convention Center in Southern California! Check out the new products that Tama had to offer at the show.



STAR Drums



The new flagship line for Tama drums
After years of research and development, we are excited to unveil TAMA’s brand new super high-end series, "STAR" drums. Hand crafted in Japan by skilled artisans, STAR drums will remind drummers of their most innate passion for playing drums.



Iron Cobra 20th Anniversary



Rock Solid Strength and Personality
It was just 20 years ago, in 1992, when TAMA set out on the "IRON COBRA" project to create the ultimate drum pedal. The goal was to create something that would work in all environments, for all players, regardless of their music genre or playing style.



Silverstar On The Road



with Dale Crover and The Melvins

Dale Crover and The Melvins will attempt to tour all 50 states (plus Washington D.C.) in 51 days. You read that right… 50 states, 51 days! And sharing Dale's whirlwind will be a trusty set of Tama Silverstars. You may have already caught some the previous testimonials wherein other artists have discussed the pro-level sound and durability of Silverstar, but this one has to be the Mother Of All Road Tests.



New Limited Edition Starphonic Snares



New snares for 2012 and 2011
Like many creative acts, drum design sometimes starts with a question. As we thought about our new snare line, the Tama designers asked: Could we build drums that featured the forward-thinking innovative hardware features that Tama is known for into an instrument that brought to mind the sound and feel of the vintage snares of yesteryear that we admired? Three years and dozens of experiments later Starphonic was born. Smart features like the Grooved Hoop the Bearing Edge Construction that contribute to delivering the sonic goods. Busy pros also fall in with love Starphonic’s intelligent utilitarian advances, like the Freedom Lug and the detachable butt plate that make for blazing fast drum head swap-outs. Not to mention that each these snares looks as good as it sounds…



TAMA's On Time With A New Snare Line



Introducing TAMA SLP - Sound Lab Project
The snare drum is the keystone of any drummer's sound. At some point in the musical journey, the player will embark on a search for the perfect drum to enhance their sound. With that player in mind, we created the S.L.P. series.
