"One of the best sounking kits avalable today"
Sound
The sound of the drums by far out does the price tag! the sizes and colors is top notch, I love them so much that I went and bought the SL-Custom fushion set also (you know for double bass) and I am planning on buying all the rest of the extra drums, toms etc. to finish up one of the best kits for the money
Just an all around excelent set of drums
Sincerly, Tony Moss

"The Tama Superstar Custom drums are worth the money."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I plan on keeping this set for quite a while.I added some A-customs and Paragon cymbals to this set and it is fantastic. I know the other drum companies make good drums also, there's no denying that, when I did my homework on different sets it seemed that Tama gave me more for the money.
Sound
The birch shells have a good punch to them, very clear.
Features
The die cast hoops are very nice, hardly ever goes out of tune. The star cast mounting system is excellent.
Ease of Use
I have had no problem setting them up, or positioning them. I replaced the stock heads with some Evans heads and got a better results.It has the right amount of lugs on the drums to get a good sound.
Quality
I went over them very closely when I got them out of the boxes, the quality control is definitely there. The lacquer finish is superb. {Mine is titanium fade} and I get many compliments on them. The Superstars give you more for the money, if you look close at the features and put them against other drums they're definitely worth it.
Value
I think it was worth the money, I bought the set at Dales Drum Shop in Harrisburg Pa. It was more expensive than some sets but I'm willing to pay more to get a higher quality set and I got it. I'm not a beginner and I did my homework.
Manufacturer Support
I didn't need any support from Tama, I haven't had any issues. I did contact Tama about the free double bass pedal, {a promotion at the time I bought it}, and they were very professional.
The Wow Factor
I love to play them, I want to play them, I love to look at them, and hear the positive remarks I get from people when they see them.
