FWIW, Tama is releasing a 40th Anniversary Lars Ulrich signature drum set. Limited to only 72 kits because the shade of yellow is so unattractive, Sweetwater has it listed at $7,999.99 (USD).

I tried the first version of the Lars Signature snare, it was $450 at the time which was a lot of $$ for me so of course I didn't buy it, but it did sounded great even though it wasn't even tuned.. I also got the first edition of the Lars Ahead sticks (which I still have and still play with) to this day.
I don't mind the yellow kit but I liked the orange kit a lot more, but as we all know the iconic kit is the white kit from the ONE video/ And Justice For All era.

being a Steelers fan, the yellow and black kit does not offend me at all....
but I agree, the iconic kit is the white one from AJFA....

The first time I saw them he was using the white kit, so that's always going to be the "One" for me. Pun intended.
I first saw them on Master of Puppets (with Cliff), and he was actually using a black kit on that tour, but the white kit definitely is imprinted on me as The Kit

A black kit you say? I wonder if that was the Camco that he painted.

from what I read, it was a Tama superstar. They had supplied him with 2 kits for that tour.

He ruined those Camcos. That's a crime against drums.
Simon Phillips had a big yellow tama in the 90s not sure of the hardware colour. Tambu era I think. Might save you a few quid!
I love the original tama kit where you can see the hole in the bass drum skins isn't perfectly round and there's road wear.
The black album was recorded on a Gretsch kit. These sound amazing

Vintage Tama Superstars. A highly underrated line.

In BC, with our 12% tax, it’s $13,440 Canadian to take the Bumble Bee kit Home. Nope.

The Drum Doctors is where i bought my square badge kit. Now I just need a studio with 50 microphones on my kit, and I can get the Black Album sound too!

yep...my freind still has his from the 80's, and they are still some of the best sounding drums I have ever heard

I honestly don't think I've ever heard Lars Ulrich play drums though I do know Tama makes some fine one's esp. the Star series.

I have a soft spot for the silver sparkle Starclassic actually, I guess it was around that time I started to see more live videos from them and I just love the way that one looks, even though I'm not a huge fan of the sparkle finishes in general. The white kit is iconic though, but way too big sizes for my taste...
