Our take on the Tama Starclassic Performer 5-Piece Shell Pack

The Tama Starclassic Performer is a five-piece shell pack with a birch and maple shell blend, aimed at gigging drummers who want a punchy, cutting tone without a custom-shop price. The configuration is a 22x16 bass drum, 12x8 rack tom, 14x14 and 16x14 floor toms, with the 14x6.5 snare sold separately. Die-cast zinc hoops and a full set of Tama hardware come with it. The best new price is $1,899.99 at Sweetwater as of November 7, 2026, with 6 stores listing it new.
