Tama has decided to completely get rid of standard tom sizes, for the Superstars that is. Tama is only making hyperdrive Superstar kits now. If you don’t already know, hyperdrive means that the toms are shallower. Tama says that this makes the toms produce “unparalled punch, blistering attack and rich, full tone.” The smaller toms also make it much easier to position them just the way you like it. Tama also claims that they are easier to tune. To me this sounds pretty good, but I probably won’t run out and buy one right now because I already have a regular Superstar Customs that sound pretty good. Now as it just so happens, a few Tama players have made the switch. Hear what they have to say in the next video.
