I sold a Tama superstar for a brand new silverstar. The superstar was 22 10 12 13 16 and the Silverstar was 22 10 12 14 16. I wanted to try the two floor thing.
I couldn't make this kit sound as I wished even with the coated G2, it sounded "hollow". The superstar was more meaty and the snare was rather good whereas the Silverstar sounded flimsy and the snare too poppy. I thought the Silver would sound more open : 100% birch, small lugs, triple flange hoops,... But it only sounded less good, less full than the SS. I regretted my move.
The only advantage in the Silverstar was the weight saving!
