Guys,
I have a chance to buy a Tama Swingstar with the accu-tone black hoops for $200 from a local guy. Sizes are 12”, 13”, 16” with a 22”x16” bass drum. I’m considering it because they are similar sizes to an old Imperialstar in my local studio that sounds great and is unmiced. Some questions:
1. Does anyone play one of these, and can say if they sound good?
2. Are they made of poplar or mahogany, and are they heavy kits?
3. Is the 22” boomy enough that it doesn’t need a mic? Looking to play this in rock band setting with electric guitars.
Thanks all.
