Hi All,
Given the glowing reviews here and seemingly everywhere regarding the Starclassic Performer B/B's, I picked up a set. I love the sound of the drums but the star cast mounts seem, er, awful. This is my first Tama kit, so perhaps it takes a bit of getting used to.
As you can see in the video, there is so much play in the tom and leg mounts. It took forever to get the rack toms set up because there's nearly an inch of play up and down, and more than that left and right. So, I would have to try to set the drums an inch or so above where I wanted them and then hope they settled at the right height/angle. The floor tom legs are a joke. At first I thought that I didn't have them installed correctly, but lo and behold, everything is as tight as can be.
Does anyone else have a Tama kit with these new mounts? Am I doing something wrong? I'm seriously considering returning them because the lack of stability of the mounts is so unnerving.

Thanks.
