Frequently Asked Questions

Maple offers a warmer, rounder tone compared to birch's brighter, more aggressive sound; birch will cut through a mix better.
The Tangerine Lacquer Burst is a lacquer finish, so it’s susceptible to chipping with rough handling; a clear coat protector is a good idea if you play aggressively.
The Superstar mounting system is Tama-specific, but adapters exist to use it with other hardware, although it may compromise the original design.
