Hi guys.

Had an amazing stroke of luck a few days ago

I was driving down the road the other night

And my headlights caught a black and chrome pile of something on someones front lawn

Here in Australia we are allowed to dump certain house hold items at certain times of the year on the roadside verge and the council will collect.....

Low and behold, it was a Tama Rockstar DX

Beautiful condition, with a 22x16 bass, 12,13 and 16 toms

Had good condition reso and batter heads

Hardware was shiny with NO rust, shells in AMAZING condition

I knocked on the door and asked the man about them who said..." I don't like them..."

I got them home and ....OMG!!!

The bass drum is thunderous

The 12' tom and 16' tom are absolutely beautiful

WOW...I cant believe my luck a free TAMA Rockstar DX kit

This kit has got some balls compared to my Premier Genista

Wow....well pleased with my new 1990's kit Tama Artstar kit!

Picked it up from Ebay from a guy in London at a good price.

Haven't had chance to set it up & play yet but spent all day yesterday stripping everything down and and cleaning everything and i mean everything.

Tuning rods, the Chrome, inside the shells, re-greasing all the rods, cleaning all the shells etc.

My wife was a star with her patience in helping me incredible! completely stripping and re-building the kit!

Fitted new G2 heads all round and it absolutely sings i AM SO PLEASED WITH THIS KIT!

Wow can't wait to set it up but i'm just missing a locking nut of one of the Bass drum spurs which im struggling to find!

Here are a few shots of the Tama kit and setup from my gig last night. I play a Tama Starclassic, but I couldn't bring my kit last night so I used my singer's kit since he is also a drummer and he had time to bring his kit. It is a Tama Rockstar Custom in 10", 14" and 22" sizes with my cymbals and snare. The snare is a 7x14 Pork Pie Cherry Pie (Cherry/Bubinga) and the cymbals are:
15" Paiste Alpha Rock hats
17" Paiste Signature 17" Fast Crash
18" Paiste Signature 18" Power Crash
21" Paiste Twenty Series Prototype light ride




 
Here is the Tama Starclassic B/B I play in the studio.
