A notable user of the Fibrestar series was Simon Phillips. The shells of these drums have been made from fibreglass and were covered with one ply plastic-foil, available in various colors. They were produced for only a short time in the late 1970s to early 1980s.

Walnut shell drums are made with 6 plies of walnut on the rack toms, floor toms, and snare drum, and 7 plies on the bass drum. Maple shell drums are made with 5 plies of maple and have 5mm Sound Focus Rings.

Performer Birch have metal badges while Starclassic Maple and Bubinga lines have decal badges. Pre 2010 Japanese production Starclassics have a mix of paint-on and screw-on badges depending on the model. A notable difference is that pre 2009 Japanese production Starclassics have their badges painted on the drum's shell, while Chinese-made Starclassics feature badges fitted onto the shell with screws. Originally hand-crafted in Japan until late 2009, most of the Starclassic lines are now made in TAMA's Chinese factory. The Starclassic series is one of Tama's high-end line of drums.
