Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Tama dealer

Best tom sound, best bass drum sound, best drum heads, and best all-around. Available in 8 different covered finishes (including 3 metallics), Rockstar is packed with pro features like the Star-Cast Mounting System, MTH900 Modular Tom Mount, and high-tech Accu-Tune Bass Drum hoops. As with all Tama drums, Rockstar comes with a 5-year shell warranty and there's never any shell penetrating hardware that could compromise the great Rockstar sound.

Star-Cast Mounting System
Tama's new Hoop Grips made it possible to offer the Star-Cast advantage to players using triple-flanged hoops as well as those using die-cast. The addition of the Star-Cast mounting system with Hoop Grips to both Rockstar and Rockstar Custom rack toms is just one of more reason why these affordable drums are heads above any drum in their price range.

Bass Drum Accu-Tune Hoops
Made of high-tech material, Tama's Accu-Tune hoops represent one of the most significant advances in drum technology. Accu-Tune hoops require no T-rods or clawhooks and they offer more stable tuning, lighter weight, and increased resonance. An angled groove at the bottom of the hoop provides secure pedal attachment.

Bass Drum Spur Brackets
Nowadays it's common sense not to put the spur into the shell where it would interfere with resonance. But that wasn't always the case. So it was a breakthrough when Tama pioneered the idea of no shell penetrating hardware. Their new MSB10 continues this Tama tradition with a 2-piece cast design that provides both security and easy set-up.

Bass Drum Heads
Rockstar's new upgraded heads ensure a great sound practically right out of the box! Batter side heads are now made of Dupont Mylar for richer tone and greater durability. Ring mufflers on the bass drum heads remove the need for internal muting. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Tama products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Pretty darn good set."

Sound: Once you replace the heads, the toms sound pretty nice! Lots of good tone. I think that the stock kick batter head is pretty good though. Feature: I love the starcast mounting system! Makes everything easy to break down and set up again. Quality: I like the set overall, but I think the kick pedal is kind of a piece of junk. Not bad for a beginner, but I plan to upgrade my pedal ASAP. Value: I bought a blem one on ZZounds. What a deal!

"This is an excellent first drum kit. I bought it 6 months ago and i have had great times since. i learned to play on these drums"

Sound: the mid tom could doesnt have as much sustain as the high and floor tom but overal everything else is great. excellent snare drum. i have sabian hihats, crash, and 2 rides but im upgrading to Paistes soon. great drum kit. Feature: the kit included a cowbell if thats what you mean by accessories. the only thing i wish it had was a double kick pedal. Quality: ive only had to replace one skin (the floor tom) because it wasnt a remo pinstripe like the other toms. the tama skins arent as long lasting as pinstripe. Value: i bought this kit second hand for $850 NZ dollars which is great value. Manufacturer Support: i havent had any communication with Tama about my kit just a local music shop for a skin. The Wow Factor: i have a black tama rockstar DX. the black is not the nicest colour, i would of liked gun metal metellic. Overall: it is great. you can play it loud or quiet. great with a band.
