VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
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!

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.

Sound: sound is too "pingy" even using remo pins and aquarian double thin heads. Good starter/intermediate kit but it will never compare to a quality maple kit. Quality: Im not very confident in Tama's quality on their lower end models... Tama gets their reputation from the Star Classic Kit. Value: wait for the pear export series to go on sale at guitar center... usually they throw in an extra 10" tom :) Manufacturer Support: never dealt with Tama The Wow Factor: Nothing appeals to me about this Tama Kit Overall: there is nothing enjoyable about owning this kit. Trying to tune the super high pitched over tones out and the ringy pingy sounds makes this kit a real pain in the a$$

Back to Product Information
Sound: With Evans BD22EMAD head on the bass drum, and remo pinstripes on the batter toms... These drums sound like a million bucks (in comparison to the low $600-750 price range)... Although these drums aren't maple... with those heads on them, they sure as hell will fool anyone during performance... Feature: With my set I had tama iron cobra double bass pedal wich are great smooth pedals... the hi hat stad these drums come with are phenominal (but i would recomend getting the HH75W stand)... The starcast mounts are excelent on these drums and they give the drums a hi end professional look... especially racked on a gibraltar rack... (yes, my 7 piece rockstar is racked...) Quality: what can i say??? i dropped the 10" tom off my explorer and the tom was perfectly fine... other then a few un-noticable scratches... Value: these drums are well worth over the sticker price... Manufacturer Support: i have never spoken with tama themselves... The Wow Factor: this set looks beautiful... expecially racked and with 6 A Custom cymbals all over... (yupp... just like mine...) Overall: I dont plan on letting these drums go, but if i do... i think that the only brand that will make me forget my wonderful rockstar would be a DW... LOL
