The TAMA WBS42S-LPO Starclassic Walnut/Birch Shell Pack is a professional-grade drum set designed for drummers seeking premium sound quality and craftsmanship. Part of TAMA’s highly respected Starclassic series, this shell pack reflects years of drum-making innovation and precision engineering. The beautiful Lacquer Phantasm Oyster (LPO) finish gives the drums a striking and elegant appearance suitable for both stage and studio environments.
The shells feature a hybrid construction combining birch and walnut, delivering a distinctive tonal balance. Birch provides bright attack and strong projection, while walnut enhances warmth and low-mid frequencies, resulting in a powerful and well-rounded drum sound. TAMA developed this combination to achieve a modern tone that blends clarity with depth and musical character.
This 4-piece shell configuration includes a 22" × 16" bass drum, 10" × 8" rack tom, 12" × 9" rack tom, and 16" × 14" floor tom. The tom shells use a 6 mm construction (4-ply birch + 2-ply walnut), while the bass drum uses a thicker 8 mm shell (5-ply birch + 2-ply walnut) to provide deeper punch and resonance. Premium hardware features such as die-cast hoops, Star-Cast mounting system, and Quick-Lock tom brackets enhance tuning stability, sustain, and overall performance.
