Tama was founded in 1974 by Hoshino Gakki under the name Star Drums. Tama was once a brand for the low end market, but more and more professional musicians have started to use the drums because of the good value for money. Over the years, the quality has greatly improved and the Asian brand is now used by many professionals.
“We are very pleased with this Tama drum line”, said percussion caption head Bob van der Hoek from Juliana. “It is very innovative and it feels very solid. I'm sure the members will be very happy with it.” Due to the good relationship, the process of starting the cooperation went very well and the drum line can be put to use this year.
Juliana’s first performance with the Tama drum line will be during the DCN Championships on Saturday 13th September in Dordrecht.
