"WORTH EVERY PENNY. This kit rocks."

Feature:
The features for the money are incredible. The Starcast mounting system for the tom toms is very cool, very versatile. You can pretty much put the toms in any darn position you want with this mounting system. The black nickel hardware looks great and adds a high end finish to the kit.

Quality:
I would say compared to what I have seen and used in the past, these earn a 10. Everything fits great, and the hardware is first class.

Value:
ZZOUNDS has an excellent price for this kit. Excellent quality/value for the $$$. zZounds customer service is great, by the way. I had an issue with a warehouse repack kit, and they responded immediately, fixed the problem and set up a new order out the door the same day. THANKS!!!

Desirability:
I love the looks of the black nickel, love the ease of the mounting system, and love the sound. Can't beat the features for the money. Believe me, I shopped around and researched various drum manufacturers, TAMA came out on top.

Sound:
Excellent sound. Toms have sweet resonance and strong attack. The bass drum is killer, full and think sounding. I haven't even spent much time tuning yet, and they sound awesome.

Ease of Use:
Easy as pie to set up. Anyone with a little experience can figure it out. If not, TAMA includes a DVD showing how to do it.

Support:
can't say. hope I don't need it.

Overall:
I'll give it a 10, because I don't ever plan to trade it in or move up to something else. These are keepers. (maybe a fancy snare some day)

About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
The Tama Superstar Hyper Drive 5 piece drum set brings professional features that you will absolutely love into a price range that nearly every experienced drummer can afford. Hyper-Drive is the "New standard depth" size on tom toms. Its short depth creates enhanced attack, punchy sound and quick response. And more it allows you to set up the rack toms in lower positions so you can post the toms more freely.

Shells
The highest priority feature when developing the Superstar Series was sound. Superstar shells use birch for the main inner plies for strong projection and aggressive open sound. To enhance Superstar’s great looks, basswood, with its excellent consistency and regular grain patterns, is utilized for the inner ply on all superstar shells. Precisely cut bearing edges bring out the great response and powerful resonance of these superbly crafted shells.

Star-Cast Mounting System
All Superstar Hyper-Drive rack toms are fitted with a Star-Cast Mounting System similar to the Starclassic drums. This unique system offers total tom isolation and unhindered shell resonance without any adverse effect on tuning or complicated head changes found in less advanced suspension systems.

Black Nickel Shell Hardware
In Superstar Hyper-Drive, all shell hardware is finished in Black Nickel Plating. The beautiful look produces a higher-grade feel.

20 Inch Ultra Deep Bass Drums
With Superstar Hyper-Drive, the 20x22 inch Ultra Deep bass drum size is now available. This size provides thunderous low end combined with maximum resonance.

Sound Bridge High-Tension Lugs
The Sound Bridge high-tension, low-mass lug was specifically designed for Superstar. Sound Bridge’s unique structure looks like a traditional high-tension lug, but the body of the lug "floats" over the shell to minimize shell contact so the drum can resonate to its fullest. However, Sound Bridge still offers all the benefits of the traditional high-tension lug: it offsets the tension of the batter side and the resonant side heads, reducing the stress on the shell while providing greater protection to the drum shell during transport.

Die-Cast Hoops
No other drum embodies pro features at an affordable price like superstar. In a first for this price range, Superstar is equipped with the same zinc die-cast hoops featured on Starclassic drums. Die-Cast hoops not only make tuning easier and more consistent, they also provide crisp attack, clear and resonant highs and much more powerful rim shots.

Power Craft Drumheads
All Superstar's "Power Craft" drum heads ensure a great sound practically right out of the box! Batter side heads are made of Dupont Mylar film for richer tone and greater durability. Ring mufflers on bass drum heads remove the need for extra internal muffling.
