Bearing Edges
Vibration produced by hitting a drum transfers to the shell through the contact point between the drumhead and the shell. Therefore, the shape of the bearing edges is one of the most important factors in a drum’s sound. STAR drums feature a bearing edge shape as shown in the diagram. Its peak is rounder than TAMA’s traditional bearing edge. This rounded peak provides more contact between the drumhead and shell, allowing vibration to travel from the drumhead to the shell more efficiently. Also, the peak position of the edge is 3.5mm from the shell’s outer surface, which further improves contact between the drumhead and drum.
Die-Cast Hoops
Hoops are a crucial element to a drum’s sound and ease of tuning. STAR drums feature die-cast zinc hoops, which are manufactured by injecting molten metal into molds. Die-cast hoops are denser and more consistent in shape than triple-flanged hoops, which are manufactured by bending metal plates.
Snare drum: Snappy Bed
The shape of the snare beds is an important factor in any snare drum’s sound. In particular, the sustain and sensitivity of the snare wires are heavily affected by the shape of the snare beds. STAR snare drums employ a different snare bed than TAMA’s traditional shape. The goal was to create snare drums that have the same rich resonance as the rest of the STAR drums, but that are also very crisp and articulate. To achieve this, STAR snare drums have a flat bottom that provides even and consistent contact with each snare coil.
