TAMA STAR series stands are engineered to take care of your every concern when it comes to drum hardware. Designed to put your instruments right where you need them, TAMA's hybrid joint fittings combine all the advantages of metal fittings with the smooth action of nylon to give you precise placement and stability. But TAMA doesn't stop there! The STAR series stands are constructed with TAMA's True-Sound Insulation Mute - so more of your sound makes it into the mix instead of being absorbed by the stand, letting the tone of your drums and cymbals ring true.
