Show off your TAMA !

I will have to find a good pic of them set up. Our practice space is not the place for pics. I can barely get to my kit without knocking things over.

They are a set of beautiful Tama Artstar Customs in British Racing Green.

I have 12 and 13" toms, with a 16" floor and 22" bass.

I also have a nine piece Tama Granstar in back wrap that goes 10", 12", 13", 14" toms, 16", 18" floors, and (2) 22" bass drums.

Here's my Tama kit.

20131118_203701_zps5b5eef92.jpg


i bought them new back early 2000's. after a decade, the inside hardware had rusted and looked awful. so for the past few months, ive been working on them, taking everything apart, sanding the insides and clear coated them. i dropped all the screws in vinegar to remove the rust (30mins), cleaned them off (raw metal) and painted them flat black. On the kick, i made a top tom mount plate cover (painted gloss black to match the drum) and swapped the stupid stock accu-tune hoop (Evans head wouldnt fit in them) for some tama birch hoops, 6 inch tension rods and i believe the claws are gretsch. For the heads, i used clear G2s over clear G1's on the toms, EMAD 2 and stock Tama reso for the kick, and a coated G1 over Tama hazy 300 on a 13"x7" Artwood snare.

Bro that is a sweet kit!! white on white with black hardware... a thing of beauty!

Mine isn't near as impressive as some of yours...but I love it. Its a Superstar Hyper-Drive. Just bought it a couple of weeks ago, got the heads on it today and played. Great drums, best hardware I've ever used. Next project is decent crashes, a splash, maybe an Ozone, Speed Cobras, and a 13x7 Snare.



 
I'll throw my hat into the ring. B/B smokey indigo burst. Only got phone pics, so not the best quality

Here are some images of my Superstar Hyperdrive. Nowhere near as fancy as lot of the kits in the thread. But it's mine and that is what counts.

I've had a QSnare for a while and have played with it more extensively than the C02. I've always gotten a somewhat compressed sound from it, you can hear it on a lot of Youtube clips. The second I plugged in the C02, I got the crack/pop/bright snare sound I wanted. It's a win/win as well because the C02 is tiny and takes up no room where the is none. I've got the QSnare that came with the kit mounted to the bottom rim of the main snare as a batter mic.

The C02 is easily my favorite mic on the kit. As a whole, the Samson kit is phenomenal.

Thank you for the explanation - u know, Italy's dealer asked me to endorse Samson in my nation…and i quite like 'em---just sorting some infos from users :)

In my honest opinion, I think Samson drum mics are a bit of a game changer. I haven't seen many clips on Youtube that accurately portray the quality of sound that you can get from them. All you have to do is check out any of Cobus' newer clips to be wow'd..

Hopefully when I start uploading videos I can better spread the word.
