As genres changed and multiplied, the need to cater to constantly varying styles was evident, inspiring the release of the uniquely featured STAR hardware, simplistic CLASSIC stands, and easily portable Club-JAM series. Alongside the instruments, TAMA also focused on offering a broader range of bags and accessories. The rise of social media during this period brought TAMA closer to its users, increasing the ability to produce new and innovative products with every type of drummer in mind.
The Tama 50 event will be hosted by Bill Bruford. In recent years The Clapham Grand has revived its original mission: the perfect blend of variety and quality. With themed film screenings or an irreverent take on bingo one night, and world-class comedians, musicians and DJs the next, we’re reinventing the best of the past for new audiences,
