ExtrasStar-Mount suspension mounts, Starclassic bearing edges, included double tom holder, low-mass lugs, low-mass die-cast bass drum claws, folding retractable spurs with graduated positioning markers
After all that close inspection, I finally took a few moments to scope out the finish. Good grief these drums are pretty. The kit Tama shipped over wore a Midnight Gold Sparkle wrap with chrome hardware. The maple bass drum hoops were wrapped on the exterior, but had a glossy, natural maple finish on the inside that really popped.
The included Star-Mount suspension brackets for each rack tom were a real joy. Flatted edges on the arms offered a little extra room when positioning toms in tight quarters. The steel units again felt a little thin, but throughout the review period, they were strong and showed no signs of bending or sagging.
The bass drum spurs on the Superstar Classic kit were fantastic. The folding units had a large receiving bracket with a solid retractable spike. The bracket had graduated marks (see photo) along the inside for consistent and evening positioning. Such a savvy little upgrade. Elsewhere, the feet were firm and threaded with a separate, large plastic locking nut that was very easy on fingers.
I will say that the drum sounded best tuned fairly high. The extra depth added some meat to the tone, and those 1.6mm hoops really helped it open up and sing. I had a lot of fun with the Superstar Classic snare in that range.
Howdy!! Your review, and the one Sweetwater put up on youtube, convinced me to get these in the Classic Cherry Wine lacquer 7-piece shell pack. These babies are a pure joy to play and the tonal range of each drum just sounds like a family meant to be played together. The Tama heads were fine for what they were, but I replaced the tom batters with clear Remo Ambassadors, the bass batter with the Evans EMAD 2 and bass reso with the Evans EQ3, and it is a lethal weapon from 20 feet!! Leaving the tom resos Tama for now because they sound amazing with the batters I chose.
Kids and adult beginners nowadays truly have it made for supposed entry level kits because in my mind this is a top line kit, no doubt. When I started 30+ years ago, an entry kit was just that, entry and sub-par. Thank God times have changed.
I Play High End Tama Drums mij. I think Tama makes great stuff that last for many years. I have Truth, Slingerland, 1980s Superstars. My number 1 kit is my Starclassic Performer liquid metal wrap. The Sound is so sweet. I would definitely trust Tama.
I picked up a 7 piece version of this set last summer and I do not regret it-they are fine drums. The snare is not its best feature so i plan on replacing it at some point and the floor tom legs could be a little longer for someone as tall as myself. Beyond that, they are very fine drums (as they say) for the money.
Over the years, however, although I love the beauty of the massive kit, other considerations have shaped my opinions on the matter of what size drum set to play. There are some practical considerations to being a working drummer in NYC. There are some philosophical considerations that factor in as well.
I realized that with technique and creativity, the four piece kit does not have to limit your drumming. In fact, the smaller kit will force you think differently about your playing. How to get more out of less has become an important part of the way I think about my drumming.

Our 13 year old son wanted to learn playing drum but we don't want to hear that so we bought this for him. This is a great set up and don't make any noise. He puts on the headset and play it without disturbing rest of the house.
The bass amp works really nice but still doesn't give high quality sound in the headphones and even the volume controls are not so good. We bought a separate headphones which works much better with it

Have a listen to The Sound of Muzak by Porcupine Tree where Gavin Harrison makes great use of the splash to add texture to the beat in the early part of the song. Splash cymbals are used creatively throughout this song.
A China or Chinese cymbal is a great addition to any drum kit. The cymbal has an up-turned edge and is often mounted upside down so that the shoulder of the stick hits the bow of the up-turned edge, producing a very distinctive trashy-crash sound.

The method provided in the thread recommended by kt-va deals with introducing a further staff for cues, but I want rhythmic cues to appear above the drum staff just on certain parts, where the drummer is supposed to play fills. This is very common practice, especially in drum parts of bigband scores.
Probably not, alas, because you would need to be able to put the cue on the single-line staff. You could try adding a text item on the single-line staff just before the position where the cue will begin. If the text item consists of just a space, that should be sufficient to make the single-line staff persist until that point, and otherwise not affect the appearance of the music.
Thanks for trying, Daniel. Unfortunately, even with the invisible text, the bass clef stubbornly refuses to disappear and the five line staff fills the entire space between the last played note in the percussion clef and the timpani cue.
I see from another thread (Tutti rhythmic cues above drum part - Dorico - Steinberg Forums) that there is no way to add a rhythmic cue to the percussion clef either. Since I am in the final stages of preparing the work for publication, I may have to cut and paste a graphic to solve the problem instead of using a dynamic cue.
Hi DSale.
Maybe I jump into this thread in a totally wrong way, but in this thread ([solved ]Dorico 2 - Add a mouth percussion / rhythm section - Dorico - Steinberg Forums) I managed to keep a one line perc staff by inputting a whole note, hid it (opacity 0%), input a fake bar-rest (with shift-X and Bravura glyph). Could this workaround work for you to lengthen the untuned percussion zone?
There is a piece of label stuck on the drum which is in a separate cartridge from the toner on the LaserJet Pro M227. Can I use Goo Gone or Lighter Fluid to remove it? If not, what else can I use. it is not fused to the drum but it is firmly stuck.
Its time consuming then I clean it off with cloth that has a silicon coating to help wipe off any excess. But the drum is so sensitive it can easily become damaged and then you will have a quality issue. Safest bet is to just replace the drum
I have in the past carefully pulled off as much label as I can, then using a soft cloth dampened with alcohol, gently but firmly rub off the rest of the label and adhesive. Let it dry. When you print you'll see some print quality issues for a few pages, then it clears up pretty good after that.
Understanding the various parts of a drum kit will also help you tell what sound a particular drum piece makes, and allow you to differentiate between different parts by ear. With this knowledge and some practice, you'll learn how to recreate basic beats you hear. Continue reading this article to learn everything about the parts of a drum kit.
The bass drum, also called the kick drum, is the largest of all drum set parts and is played with a beater controlled by a pedal. As its name implies, the bass drum is responsible for the low kick sound, which is easily identifiable and useful to keep time.
