Features:
Birch shells (Silverstar)
(TT/FT/SD) 6ply, 6mm / (BD) 7ply, 8mm - Carefully selected birch materials are utilized for the
shells in the Silverstar series. By using the same molding methods used for our
high-end drums, a powerful sound, rich tone, and warm resonance usually only
found with high-end drums are achieved
Star-Mount System
The Star-Mount System was developed to increase the
resonance of drums. This new mounting system provides support at four points on
the batter side hoop of a drum.The bracket eye-bolts slide to the left and right, so it's
possible to prevent the eye-bolts from touching each other even when setting up
two toms close to each other.
Sound Arc Hoop
Silverstar drums will be fitted with our new Sound Arc
Hoops, inspired by the so-called "stick saver hoops" which were used
on select vintage snare drums. The edges of the Sound Arc Hoops bend inward to
enhance the natural tone of the drum and offer increased sensitivity,
precision, and control.
Traditional Regular Size Toms
All Silverstar tom toms will change to slightly shallower
depths, making it easier to control overtones and creating a punchier, more
focused sound.
Low-Mass Lugs
These small lugs are newly designed separate lugs for the
Silverstar series. By reducing the surface area that the lugs occupy on the
shell, a structure that does not hinder shell resonance is achieved.
Slidable Tom Holder
The MTH905N double tom holder for the Silverstar series
makes it possible to move toms forward or backward up to 50mm to any position
simply by loosening a square-headed bolt.
Claw Hook
These claw hooks stabilize the wood hoops on bass drums and
feature built-in rubber lining which helps protect the wood and maintain tuning
even during long performances. Also, the new rubber spacers help protect the
die-cast zinc claw hooks and tension bolts from damage when the bass drum is
placed on the ground.
