TAMAOctobans 4 Pieces Low Pitch
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A four-piece set of TAMA's low-pitch tube toms, for drummers who want extra melodic voices above and around the standard kit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fusion and prog players wanting extra pitched voices in fills
- Studio drummers adding tuned percussion sounds without hauling more toms
- Expanding a kit that already has a full tom range
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- First kits — these add nothing until the core kit is covered
- Small stages or cramped rooms where rack space is tight
- Players wanting deep, resonant tom tone rather than sharp pitched hits
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Four pieces
A four-note run, so melodic fills work across the set instead of single accent hits.
Detail 03
Tube drums
Narrow single-headed shells. Focused, dry, quick-decaying notes with far less overtone spread than a standard tom.
Detail 04
TAMA build
Hardware and lug spacing match TAMA mounting standards, which simplifies attaching to existing TAMA racks and stands.
Detail 05
$1,559.99 price
Professional tier. This is a working drummer's kit expansion, not a first add-on purchase.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm exactly what mounting hardware and stands ship with the set
- 02Plan rack or stand space before ordering — four tubes need real room
- 03Tube drums need frequent tuning checks; short shells drift noticeably
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between low pitch and high pitch octobans?
Tube length. Low pitch models use longer tubes and sound lower and rounder. High pitch models are shorter and sharper. Many drummers eventually run both sets together.
02Can I mount these on my existing kit?
They attach to standard rack or stand hardware, and TAMA sizing fits TAMA racks most directly. Check your clamp count and available rack tube space first.
03Do they need special heads?
They take heads sized to the tube diameter, not standard tom sizes. Buy replacements sized specifically for octobans.
04How many drums come in the set?
Four, tuned as a descending run so you can play melodic fills across them.
