TAMBURO’s UNIKA series 5-piece shell pack is easy to tune, powerful and versatile. Made in Italy, it features a strong structure and is easy to transport.

The Shell

These shells consist of a “sandwich” structure, with two strong HPL (High Pressure Laminate) layers that have a minimum thickness of 0.8 mm to 0.9 mm. The shell’s thickness depends on the type of color and finish. These elements are connected by an internal band made from three alternate one-milimeter wooden layers. This particular structure lends considerable strength and stability to the shell. The rigid, lightweight structure, its perfect point of contact with the drum head (start point), together with a new ST (Strong Traction) lug, are key to its extraordinary tuning range. In addition to providing a strong anchor point for the lugs, the internal HPL layer (a material not previously used to make drums) makes the shell waterproof, thus preventing deterioration over time.

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 achieve a sensitive, fluid and stable tension between the drum heads. This also ensures maximum mechanical hold (approximately 7,700 lb.) with each full key turn. The lightweight lug consists of parts that have been specifically designed to aid high mechanical resistance.

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.

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. This is how a rigid drum hoop with strong mechanical properties is created, boasting a thickness of just 8 mm.

Floor Tom Bracket

The floor tom bracket features a lightweight alloy chrome die-cast lug with side TAMBURO “butterfly” locking screws. The legs can be fixed in place quickly and securely. The lug has a soft , anti-vibration rubber seal. Its shape and limited size helps to keep the drum in its case.

Drum Legs

Thanks to their characteristics, TAMBURO's drum legs offer stability and ease when positioning drums. Strong and lightweight, they’re attached to the shell via four anchor points. The bass drum leg provides the drummer with a customizable, stable position.
