The only real problem I have isn't with the drums, but with the people who sold it to me. I was recommended by some drum friends to replace the factory heads with Evans G2's and an EQ3 on the bass. The Starcast system really does improve the way the kit resonates I chose the Tama kit because even at entry level they have the Starcast mounting system which is usually only available on higher end kits. My choices were between the Tama and the Yamaha Stage Custom. The drums give a great fat sound, and resonate very well. The kit was purchased at Guitar Center in Paramus, NJ. I'm new to drumming so this is my "entry level" kit. I seriously recommend this kit for anyone whos lookin for a good quality drumkit at a good price.Īlways remember its who's sittin behind the drumset is what really matters. This thing sounds great when you put a little extra money in it with good heads an some top quality cymbals as well. Who said you had to be a beginner or whatever too play on this set. And quality yes they do have, these things will rock when you want them too. I bought the fusion size kit 10,12,and 14. What i didn't like about the kit is the heads it came with there terrible, so i recommend take bout 50 or so bucks and put some evans G2's on these babies and theyll be sounded good. Also since they've added the starcast mounting system makes them even more attractive. Got the best sounded kick ive ever heard if ya dampen an tune it right itll have that big low in. Tama has always been known for there sturdy hardware and it is rock solid like they say. Oh i love this kit it is a great set-up for the price. And paid a lil over 700 for it and that included throne, dampening rings, and sticks. Anyways Does the low serial numbers of 000001-000013 make a big difference on the significance of the kit? I will post pictures this week.I bought this kit brand new from a local music store here in town. I love the kit without the low serial numbers on it and it was made to generate huge sound. The more I look for information on serial numbers the farther I get to any real answers. The kit is not a wrap but a black lacquer finish with the inside shells painted black as well. The reps from Pearl saw it and made a big stink about it, so Tama made this kit for him to impress everyone on tour. It was custom built for Jonathan for a world tour he was going on and the Tama reps built it for him special because of the Tama kit he was playing before this one was wrapped and during a show in Japan the wrap bubbled up in the heat. The serial numbers are 000001 through 000013. The real reason I bought the kit was that it has some cool history behind it. Full top and bottom Power tower with 4 kick drums. I just purchased a Tama Granstar Custom kit from a friend of mine who used to play for Judas Priest in the mid 80's Jonathan Valen.
