The TAMA CK52KRS-NET Drum Shell Kit is part of the Superstar Classic Series, designed to deliver professional sound, classic style, and modern performance features. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Superstar drums of the 1970s, this kit combines vintage aesthetics—such as the iconic TAMA T-shape badge and streamlined low-mass lugs—with modern engineering to enhance resonance and tone. The kit features a striking Natural Ebony Tiger Wrap (NET) finish, giving the drums a distinctive appearance on stage or in the studio.
At the core of the CK52KRS-NET are 100% maple shells, carefully selected to produce a full, powerful sound with rich resonance and clear projection. The toms, floor tom, and snare use 6-ply (5 mm) maple shells, while the bass drum features an 8-ply (7 mm) maple shell for added depth and punch. TAMA’s Star-Mount System enhances resonance by supporting the toms at four points on the hoop, allowing the shells to vibrate freely for improved tone and sustain.
The kit also includes Power Craft II drumheads, which provide a balanced sound right out of the box, along with claw hooks that stabilize the bass drum hoops while protecting the wood. TAMA’s trusted L-Rod and Omnisphere tom holder system allows flexible positioning and stable mounting of the toms, while the compact low-mass lugs reduce shell contact to maximize resonance. This shell pack is an excellent choice for drummers seeking a versatile, high-quality drum kit for both live performances and studio sessions.
