I've used Tama drums since the came to a music store I worked at in 1980. I purchased this kit instead of a Starclassic kit because I like maple shells better. I did play a Starclassic kit a few years back but this time around I went with the Superstar kit because the two lines and their features are so close I just couldn't see the extra money for the Starclassic kit. Great sounding kit. The maple shells sound so sweet. The bass drum and snare the two drums you're going to use the most are just perfect. The Toms can be tuned low or higher to your taste. The heads that come with the kit aren't the worst but I would advise you add some damping. I personally changed the heads to the type I like best. I never advise what heads to use that's too personal a matter but again the heads aren't the worst. The fit and finish are exquisite. The mounting on the toms are the same as the higher priced Starclassic series. Bottom line for a kit under $1000.00 I think it's the best sounding and best buy out there.

Not a bad shell kit for the price. I would highly recommend replacing the heads as soon as it arrives with Evans G2s for the batter and G1s for the resonants. It really does make a difference in the sound.
