Available in a 5pc or 7pc configuration, this Superstar Classic Exotix kit in Gloss Lacebark Pine Fade serves as a prime example of how even a competitively-priced setup can still offer dynamic looks. The finish itself is a beautifully applied lacquer that starts out almost entirely black and slowly brightens to an electric shade of amber that brings out the natural highlights of the Lacebark Pine outer ply. It’s a classically-inspired kit with the tone and aesthetics to light up any performance.
For more than forty years, the Superstar name has stood for groundbreaking design, superior build quality, sterling tone, and clear projection. Superstar Classic once again upholds tradition by raising the bar for discerning drummers—and remarkably—does it at an extremely competitive price. Drawing on Superstar of the past, its classic TAMA T-shape badge and streamlined low-mass single lugs point to the simpler state of art of the 70’s, while the ingenious Star-Mount system and new thinner gauge 100% maple shells eclipse anything in its class. Visually ravishing, the Gloss Lacebark Pine exterior ply possesses a complex wood grain pattern to give this kit an extraordinary visual appearance.

Our highest priority in producing the Superstar series of drums was sound. The full, powerful character and rich resonance of the Superstar drums were achieved by utilizing carefully selected maple shells and focusing intently on shell molding and the bearing edge shape.
Low-Mass Lugs
These small lugs are newly designed separate lugs for the Superstar Classic series. By reducing the surface area that the lugs occupy on the shell, a structure that does not hinder shell resonance is achieved.
