TABMURO's intuitive stave system, which was originally designed in 1982, finds its home in this OPERA Series 5-piece drum shell pack. TAMBURO completely redesigned the polyhedral cylinder according to their thirty years of research into high-quality, multilayer, innovative wood and a range of important processes that they strive to continuously update. The TAMBURO Opera acoustic drum kit, produced with incredible handmade-in-Italy creativity, has an unmistakable timbre that’s never lost, regardless of how it’s tuned. Its dynamic, defined sound, together with its custom, unique aesthetics, make for a sophisticated, prestigious instrument.

The Shell

 TAMBURO's manufacturing philosophy is all about creating drum shells that are lightweight, and a perfect fit for your drum heads. The staves, which measure 6 mm, are made from five layers of birch wood, with an additional external HPL covering that gives the instrument its finish and color. To produce a lighter but solid polyhedral cylinder, the shell is “bound” using internal beech reinforcements that give it its compact nature.

The ST Lug

The TAMBURO ST (Strong Traction) lug stands out due to its innovative design, which features two tie rods connected by a tube. Its unique structure allows you to create a sensitive, fluid and stable tension between your heads. This also ensures maximum mechanical hold (approximately 7,700 lb.) with each full key turn.

Hoops

The hoops are made with an internal and external HPL (High Pressure Laminate) lining, which defines both finish and color. 12 layers of internal beech are attached in the same direction, using a special PU glue. The final result is a rigid drum hoop with strong mechanical properties. Boasting a thickness of just 8 mm.

A Word on the Wood

TAMBURO uses wood to create perfectly constructed shells for this Opera Series shell pack. In fact, they assess the individual characteristics of the wood they use during a prototyping phase, on which they base their final decision.

Snare Strainers

The fused block lug allows for the fluid, precise adjustment of strainer tension. A small magnet is included in the mechanism to ensure stability and grip over time.

Floor Tom Bracket

The lightweight alloy chrome-plated die-cast lugs feature a dual-locking screw. The leg lock is secure and easy to use, with a soft anti-vibration rubber seal. Its shape and limited size helps to keep the drum in its case.

Bass Drum Legs

Thanks to their characteristics, the bass drum legs offer stability and ease when positioning drums. Strong and light, they’re attached to the shell via four anchor points. These bass drum legs provide modifiable and stable positioning.
