Let me start from the beginning, I've always used tama through out the years I started with a tama swingstar set in the early 80's to a artstar set all maple shell In the late 80's to the tama granstar drums in the 90's to the drums I have now the Tama starclassic b/b I absolutely love the sound over and above any of my other Kits that I've owed or have played, I'm a hard hitter, and play heavy aggressive Power metal and I've got to tell you, nothing ive played has souch a strong vibrant note and attack Like the 18"x24" bass drums I have now, I highly recommend this kit to everyone looking to upgrade Or maybe a lateral move to a newer kit, you will not be disappointed with a tama b/b kit, good price Amazing sound!!

I have the Starclassic Bubinga Elites, in Quilted Mocha Burst finish.
Kick: 22x20
Snare: 14x6 Masai Warlord (Bubinga shell)
Toms: 10x8, 12x9
Floor: 16x14

Sound: Excellent, Loud.
Appearance: Stunning.
Quality: Legendary TAMA quality.
Note: The Masai snare is also expensive, but worth every single cent - this frickin' snare is AMAZING.

Tama Starclassic has a great sound quality & probably the best quality of the body production( the hardest) ideal fo Rock music playing
