TENSION WATCH TW100

TAMA




Good tuning used to take years of experience and tuning each drum often felt like it took years. No more. The TW100 measures actual head (not tuning rod-tension) on an easy to read meter, so you can record the numbers and duplicate your best tuning time after time. Or you can use the suggested sample tunings in the directions.
Either way Tension Watch lets you spend more time playing and less time tuning.

RHYTHM WATCH RW105

TAMA




The first timekeeper designed specifically for the band's timekeeper, TAMA's Rhythm Watch had everything a drummer needed to make sure the time was right-live and in the studio. The original Rhythm Watch featured enough volume to play with real drums, a large, easy-to-read display, a dial for quick tempo adjustments, separate volumes for quarter notes, eighths and triplets...the list went on and on.
The RW105 now features a backlit display, 30 different memory settings, and up to nine different beat divisions. The only thing we didn't change was the simplicity.

GONG BASS

Original Percussions




An early TAMA original, the Gong Bass Drum features a 22" head on a 20" shell with no bottom head. This design produces a sound with excellent sustain that's close in character to a concert tympani. The Gong Bass Drum utilizes 8mm thick Starclassic Bubinga & 7mm thick Maple shell. The aluminum Rollaway stand in black finish offers easy yet secure positioning thanks to another TAMA original idea: Power Tower stand components. Available with Chrome shell hardware only.

Gong Bass drums are available in all the Starclassic Bubinga & Maple finishes.
GSB and SSB finishes will feature a fade rather than a burst.
