Bring home a TAMA Limited-Edition 50th Anniversary Starclassic Mirage shell pack from Guitar Center: Order your TAMA Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Starclassic Mirage Snare Drum The TAMA 50th Limited Starclassic Mirage is a 5-piece acrylic shell pack that celebrates five decades of TAMA drums, as well as honor the appearance of the original Starclassic Mirage in 2007. Re-released in a spectacular Crystal Ice—and elegantly contrasted by black-nickel hardware—the seamless acrylic shells deliver excellent attack, clarity and projection. The shell pack includes enough drums to provide bountiful creative options while crafting grooves and fills—a 22x16“ bass drum, 10x7“ and 12x8“ rack toms, and 14x12“ and 16x14“ floor toms. “We’re celebrating TAMA being around for 50 years,” says Kenny Aronoff, who has recorded drums on songs that have achieved more than 300 million total sales. “And I’ve played their drums for 44 of them. This acrylic Starclassic Mirage kit sounds amazing. The toms are incredibly even sounding and they work well together. The kick is punchy with just enough ambience and not too much ring. Basically, it has everything you need. The snare drum cracks like a metal snare. It has a lot of attack and just enough ring. This kit definitely has its own unique sound, but it’s very workable with guitars, vocals, keyboards and bass.” The TAMA 50th Limited Starclassic Mirage also features die-cast hoops that center and focus the sound while also preventing bothersome and bizarre overtones. The result is bold, clear and transparent tones that come alive onstage and in the studio.
