Over the course of more than 25 years of business, the cornerstone of TAMBURO’s creations has always been innovation. Both in its use of materials and in its creation of revolutionary construction techniques that succeed in satisfying a range of drummers in search of their own sound. Today, thanks to the new UNIKA series, Tamburo has reached another milestone, creating an instrument that is easy to tune, powerful and versatile. featuring a strong structure that is easy to transport. The UNIKA drumkit is the product of the latest technology and materials – a 100% Made-in-Italy project.

THE SHELL

Our shells consist of a “sandwich” structure, with two strong HPL (High Pressure Laminate) layers that have a minimum thickness of 0.8 mm to 0.9mm. The shell’s thickness depends on the type of colour and finish. These elements are connected by an internal band made from three alternate one-millimetre wooden layers. This particular structure lends considerable strength and stability to the shell. The rigid, lightweight structure, its perfect point of contact with the skin (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 (patent pending)

Our new 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 skins. This also ensures maximum mechanical hold (approx. 3500kg) with each full key turn. The lightweight lug consists of parts that have been specifically designed to aid high mechanical resistance.

SNARE STRAINERS

Our 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

Our hoops are made with an internal and external HPL (High Pressure Laminate) lining, which defines both finish and colour. Twelve 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 8mm.

FLOOR TOM BRACKET

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, our drum legs offer stability and ease when positioning drums. Strong and lightweight, they’re attached to the shell via four anchor points. Our bass drum leg provides the drummer with a customisable, stable position.

Note: Cymbals and hardware not included

Here we have a Tamburo Unika drum kit finished in Fantasy Red! Tamburo is a new brand to Drumazon which we believe fits in really well amongst our line up of makers offering many unique design concepts. There is a lot to like about these drums and many subtle features that make an incredible amount of difference to the end result of these drums, demonstrating how much thought Tamburo have put in to their drum kits and snare drums.

The Unika is a completely unique shell design with two HPL (high pressure laminate) layers sandwiching a high quality Italian poplar core. This particular shell lay up offers extreme strength and stability whilst remaining lightweight. The unique HPL layers not previously used in drums make the shells completely waterproof preventing deterioration over time. Not only do these shells offer superior strength and protection, they also offer a superior sonic quality unlike anything you've heard from regular wood ply shells.

Tamburo have found that 2.2mm hoops works the best with this shell set up. These are found throughout the range of Toms, Floor and Snares in this series. All mounted toms are on RIMS isolation mounting systems to allow the shells to fully resonate. The floor tom brackets are equipped with anti vibration gaskets. 

The Unika series uses the Tamburo ST lug. The Strong Traction Lug is a very serious piece of design. The long lug design creates a stable drum head tension which enhances the mechanical strength of each full rotation turn of the rod. The unique design allows the shell not to be loaded with any tension and remains free to fully conduct air movement produced by the strike of the head. There are 4 main components to the ST Lug, 1) the ABS anti-vibration contacts at the top and bottom. 2) The 0.6mm Alloy Pipe travelling between the two ABS points. 3) The stainless steel covers which case the sides of ABS points. 4) The brass pin.

All Tamburo kits come fitted as standard with high specification Evans USA drum heads which means the kit is ready to play straight out of the box.

The Unika is one of Tamburo's professional series drum ranges. Unika is aimed to be an easy to tune, powerful yet versatile sounding shell featuring a strong structure making it perfect for the gigging drummer.
