    I made some mods and it's easy to make this drum set look even better. The heads lasted a long time. I smashed this drum set and put it back together and it still sounds good. The only bad point is the clutch on the snare broke. The Tama Swingstar is a good kit for a starter and even more.

    I like the older Tama drums, 70's and 80's, seems they put a lot into the Swingstars and Superstars, the hardware was heavy and the drums were heavy, I have an old set of Swingstars with the badges with the models numbers stamped on the the badge and they seem so much better than what is being put out now. The bass drum head says SWINGSTAR by Tama , I think they were proud of that set when it came out.

    Although an extremely nice drum kit as a whole; Tama can and do make far higher quality drums.
    But for its cost it gives an extremely high performance for relatively little money;
    A progressive drummer (ie one that is advanced in learning not the style) will find the kit well suited to there needs... but be sure to tune the drums well and you will find a great sound in them:

    Partnered with high quality hardware; such as tama iron cobra double pedals and the kit becomes a dream that could pa ...
