What’s new for TAMA 2025?
TAMA 2025 Drum Kits: New colors for Starclassic and Club-JAM!
The Starclassic series is one of TAMA’s most popular and famous drum kits. These kits, with their much thinner shells compared to Imperialstar or Superstar, have been quite the hit among premium drum kits. And for Starclassic, TAMA 2025 is introducing one of their most beautiful colors: Marine Shoreline Movingui Fade. The four-piece, all-maple kit consists of a 22″ x 16″ bass drum, a 10″ x 07″ tom, a 12″ x 08″ toms, and a 16″ x 16″ floor tom. It’s available at Thomann*.
There is also a new color for their cocktail drum series, Club-JAM, called Burgundy Elm. It’s dark red tone that fits into any Jazz bar. The kit consists of an 18″ x 12″ bass drum, a 10″ x 07″ tom, a 14″ x 07″ floor tom, and a 13″ x 05″ snare. It’s also available at Thomann*.
Three new S.L.P. Bubinga Snare Drums
Continuing with the TAMA 2025 release, the S.L.P Mod Bubinga series has three additions. Each snare is 12″ x 07″ and made of a 9-ply, 6 mm thick Bubinga shell. In addition, Tama has opted for Sound Arc Hoops and a MLS30A/MLS30B snare strainer.
The three new colors are Satin Bubinga*, Electro Turquoise*, and Galactic Purple*, and they are all available at Thomann right now. In terms of their sonic character, these compact snares work great for Hip Hop and Trap.
Accessories and Hardware: Colors and Mirror Rod
TAMA 2025 is as colorful as TAMA 2024! Last year, they started releasing more colorful editions with their limited-series Iron Cobras, and this year, this trend continues in the world of accessories. Two very colorful new stick bags are available: Blue x White* and Pink x Violet*. Each stick bag offers room for up to six pairs of sticks – and a dashing look! /
TAMA has also introduced three new 4″ practice pads: black*, pink*, and yellow*. These thin pads should not be confused with regular, bigger practice pads for working on your rudiments at home. Rather, they are meant for use when traveling.
Finally, TAMA is introducing a new glide system for its double pedal series called Mirror Rod. Its newly designed shaft drastically improves the running behavior between the main and slave pedals. Mirror Rod is available both individually and in a couple bundle with the three most popular Tama upper-class double pedal machines: Iron Cobra HP 900 Power Glide, HP910 Speed Cobra, and Dyna-Sync Twin Pedal.
