[Symyn240]

Here are my Tama Rockstar Pro's
Translucent amber finish
Evans Coated EC2 on the toms
I also have the cool Wood snare with steel wrap that i love, ill post a pic when i get one.
Not sure a lot about that one, but i don't see them very often, and it sounds amazing! Def my favorite snare as of now.

Here is my STAGESTAR.
I love this kit and its 14 X 18" bass drum! I can't believe the sound.
The STAGESTAR was an entry level kit that just plain GOT IT RIGHT!
I have played kits that cost three times as much that didn't sound this good! Its perfect for Jazz, Fusion, and Light Rock.
I made a two inch riser for the bass so that I could use my vintage 80s Tama pedal. These kits came with a modified (kid sized) foot pedal for the 18" bass.
I put an SK II on the bass and Aqurain Studio-X coated batters on the toms. I did some secret tricks to the stock snare.
It is a Warm, Fuzzy sounding kit.

Here are some various pics of my superstars. Snare is a Gretsch hand hammered brass.

5.5x14 main and 5x12 side snare
I recently added a Pork Pie Big Black 6.5x14 Snare (not pictured)

Love that kit! I have a Starclassic Performer and they're fantastic. I'm also an advocate of the single mounted tom with two big floor toms approach. Very enticing setup indeed (from my perspective anyhoo).

Here's my 1985 Tama Swingstar kit. I still have it, (up in the rafters). I can't seem to part with it. Bought an OCDP and haven't played it since.

[ConvertedLudwigPlayer]

Here's my 2006 Starclassic Performer in Dark Cherry Fade.

Sizes:
8-10-12-13-14-22

The set up on this kit is constantly changing. Over the last year or so I have added a nice K ride, a few Zildjian A crashes and 14" Mastersound hats (the 16" hats pictured are now played on my Renown), and Zildjian 12" Special Recording hats with a DW auxillary setup.

Currently I have 2 up (8 and 10) and 2 down (12 and 14).

The 8" and 13" were add-ons to the kit. I'm looking for a 16" to complete it. I would be willing to trade the 13" and some cash or gear for a 16".

[drumafia]

This Copeland snare has not needed to be tuned since i put it on the stand ayear ago!!

How's that kit treating you these days?

Nice choice of cymbals by the way =)

[irocz]

Hello People,

I am currently looking into buying a TAMA Birch, but I want to listen to or watch a video of clear sound of Birch sound on a TAMA. Does any one have know of a link to guide me into the right direction?I have played Maple most of the time.

A few poplar, but like just any lower end kits (Poplar, not Maple), they were hard to tune and never kept it.. But that was not the point, I like my maple but I saw a nice diamond dust Tama Birch and like it, But skeptic of sound, any suggestions can help..

[Jazzycat1]

I have been building my Superstar kit gradually since 2007. One more tom on the way and I think I'm done..... Or am I?












8,10,12,13 Mounted Toms
16x16, 16x18 Floor Toms
18x22, 18x14 Bass Drums
14x5 COB Rogers Dynasonic Snare
One 11x14" Tom on the way
All Avedis Zildjian Cymbals
20" Ride
16 and 17" medium crashes
14" thin crash
8 and 10" splashes
15" thin crash
16" medium thin crash

[irocz]

Ok well, I finally bought it and I am very happy with the looks and sound of this kit... You all let me know what you think,, I have a 6 piece kit: 8,10,12,14,22x18, and matching snare of 14x5.5

I just have not been able to find a 16x16 birch diamond dust.. If you all know of any please let me know.. Thanks

[irocz]

Here are a few more pix, I am also including my favorite snare, my Metal Works...

[bobdadruma]

My StageStar all set up for Jazz playing with my Agop Jazz cymbals and my K Custom Hybrid 13 1/4 hats, 11" K Hybrid splash.

I love this little kit!

I call it, "The Red and the Black"

[irocz]

Hello everyone,
I am posting another picture of my Tama, I did some dark filling on the background to bring out the image. I went over the sides on some of the cymbals and made them look broken.. But they are not. besides they are not cheap so is not worth abusing any of these precious cymbals..
