What Does Music Co. Think? 

The Tama pancake kit comes with ultra-shallow drum shells combined with a cut off shell design. This design allows you to stack your drums within each other, whilst providing a nice balance of dry drum tones and a perfect level of sound. Complete with a hairline black finish to achieve a unique look and character, the classic wood bass drum hoops ensure a vintage look. Whilst the bass drum is extremely shallow compared to conventional bass drums, this 18’’ x 4’’ drum still manages to deliver punchy yet responsive tones. The Pancake kit is constructed from 100% poplar shells to guarantee a large range of tones with a varied tuning range. The poplar construction provides soft highs and mid-tones with a warm low end to deliver a smooth drum sound. Producing an element of durability, the poplar shells add to the quality of this kit ensuring it can withstand bumps and knocks along the way.

How will my drums be delivered?

All starter drum kits are delivered in the smallest number of boxes. They will be packed inside one another and will need assembling. Starter kits are always delivered without the heads & hoops attached. This isn’t something to be intimidated by, it’s the basics of drum assembly, and is good practice to get a better understanding of your new kit! The heads will then need to be tightened and tuned. Using the drum key provided, rotate all the lugs clockwise to tighten, and anti-clockwise to loosen – simple! 

Once the drumheads are attached, you’re ready to set up! You may want to have a look at our set up guide or check out our unboxing video on YouTube. You can hear from the video that the stock heads on the kit sound great and the floor tom sounds lovely and full. Just make sure the stands are at the right height, and the kit is comfortable to play.
