Nice, make sure the fist thing you do (even before you play) is to post pictures. The first thing after you play would be posting a video!
Btw, why "batera" as your nick? Are you brazilian?

I agree with Tom Sawyer, pics first, then play maybe 10 minutes and then post a video. You have to make pictures of every angle, with a good camera ofcourse ;-).
Have fun!

Hey Batera, I lashed out and bought the starclassic b/b GCS. They are amazing drums , the more I play them the better they sound. The snare is also fantastic. I'm so glad I got these drums . Believe me you will not be disappointed. Welcome to the Tama family. Have fun dude.

Be sure to inspect all the bearing edges thoroughly. I had one of those kits, and the bass drum edges were awful. I'm sure it was just a one-time thing, but you never know.

Pics??? As they say, without pics, you don't own the drums. : ) But seriously, I think you will be very happy with this kit. I've heard nothing but good things about them.

What a BEAUTIFUL kit.
I actually played on one at GC in that color. Man, it looks so great in person. This kit sounds amazing as well.
Congratulations!!!!

Wow! What a finish. It's lava glass glitter isn't it? What do you think of how they sound? The interiors are just gorgeous. Replace those stock heads ASAP!!!
Batera945
07-05-2008, 11:34 PM
yes its the lava glass.. and im in love with the sound. Speacially the 16" floor tom and bass drum... In the future i'll see if i can get a 14" FT. I wont change the heads right away.. since the heads on it are the evans G2 and G1. Which are not that bad. I'll put some evans ec2 coated like i have on my pdps later.
And thanks, I'll put up a vid as soon as possible.

Great looking kit you got. To be honest I have yet to see a tama b/b kit that I don't like

What a nice sparkle!
Good choice on the kit, those B/B kits have got a very nice sound and are well built!
How do you like the sound of that Bass drum, must be very boomy. =)

I love it.. its the sound i was looking for. The only thing i need for this kit is to order a 14" bass drum... The 16" one sounds amazing.. but i want to have two up two down... 10 12 16 is kind of weird for me.

Yeah but then you have to use hex keys and it takes a little time... When I switch the heads i'll move the hoops so that the 12" tom will look good set up on the right... I miss a 14" though.. should be getting one asap
