Here's my 1985 Tama Swingstar kit. I still have it, (up in the rafters). I can't seem to part with it. Bought an OCDP and haven't played it since.

Here's my 2006 Starclassic Performer in Dark Cherry Fade.

Sizes:
8-10-12-13-14-22

The set up on this kit is constantly changing. Over the last year or so I have added a nice K ride, a few Zildjian A crashes and 14" Mastersound hats (the 16" hats pictured are now played on my Renown), and Zildjian 12" Special Recording hats with a DW auxillary setup.

Currently I have 2 up (8 and 10) and 2 down (12 and 14).

The 8" and 13" were add-ons to the kit. I'm looking for a 16" to complete it. I would be willing to trade the 13" and some cash or gear for a 16".

Hello People,

I am currently looking into buying a TAMA Birch, but I want to listen to or watch a video of clear sound of Birch sound on a TAMA. Does any one have know of a link to guide me into the right direction?I have played Maple most of the time.

A few poplar, but like just any lower end kits (Poplar, not Maple), they were hard to tune and never kept it.. But that was not the point, I like my maple but I saw a nice diamond dust Tama Birch and like it, But skeptic of sound, any suggestions can help..
 
I have been building my Superstar kit gradually since 2007. One more tom on the way and I think I'm done..... Or am I?

My StageStar all set up for Jazz playing with my Agop Jazz cymbals and my K Custom Hybrid 13 1/4 hats, 11" K Hybrid splash.
13 x 5.5 Black Panther Maple snare in black stain. Tama First Chair throne and vintage 80's Tama bass pedal. (Was once the slave for a double pedal)
I love this little kit!

I call it, "The Red and the Black"

Hello everyone,
I am posting another picture of my Tama, I did some dark filling on the background to bring out the image. I went over the sides on some of the cymbals and made them look broken.. But they are not. besides they are not cheap so is not worth abusing any of these precious cymbals..
