・Product Description・
TAMA will release a signature model stick by female drummer Tamu Murata, who plays powerful drumming that you would never imagine from her cute appearance.
The 14.25mm diameter is easy for women to use, and the slightly short overall length of 398mm is in response to her request that she be able to play fast phrases without being swung around by the stick. The tip shape is triangular. The contact area changes depending on the angle of the hit, allowing you to expressively play the snare, tom, and cymbals.
The grip part is printed with an illustration designed by the artist.
Comment from the artist
This stick was made by trying out various TAMA sticks and combining the ones that suited me best!
It is a little shorter and thinner than usual, so you can play fast phrases without being swung around by the stick. The stick itself is not that heavy, and there is no bias in the center of gravity balance, so it is easy to control the volume balance depending on the grip! The tip is triangular, and it produces both an attack and a rounded sound. I want everyone to try it out!

As a personal activity, in February 2017, he held his first solo drum live (2/15/2017 @ TSUTAYA O-Crest), and tickets sold out immediately!!! He held his second solo live at TSUTAYA O-WEST on 5/15 of the same year, and it was a huge success! He invited "Nyangostar" as a special guest to the live, and the dream collaboration was realized. He was featured in various media such as Mezamashi TV and variety shows, and made his first solo TV appearance. Furthermore, on 9/11 of the same year, he held his third solo live at TSUTAYA O-WEST, which was also a huge success!!
