A little update of mine. Octobans still need painted yet, just waiting for warmer weather to arrive. It's becoming almost impossible to get overhead shots inside anymore!

Will you attempt the sparkle stripe on the octabons?
I put up the set after some time it spent on the top of a room closet.
I hope the weighted boom stand will hold up that splash. A little overkill maybe.
Some fresh pictures of my Tama Granstar in original white wrap and most likely from 1987 due to low serial numbers. A former rental kit in London UK and seen a lot of gigs/recordings in various setups.
I wanted a Lars Ulrich Justice for all area setup and that is what I found (the drums only, everything else came later) in 2003.
Rack toms: 12,13,14,15
Floor toms: 16*16, 16*18
Bass drums: 16*24
Snare: AW216 6 1/2 early '90s
Stands: Tama HC104TB
Cymbals so far: Zildjian A 17 medium crash, 18 inch China, Meinl 8 inch splash
Hihat: Zildjian dyno beat 14 inch
Hardware: Tama
I do wonder how it was so easy to do one search on yahoo for the location of the drums. That was all it took. I got the story that it was meant for DIO but Vinnie Appice says no so who else??
It is yet to be confirmed but Lars was only seen in this staged ad with this kit for the new Granstar line in 1987. He was in London with those bass drum skins + snare from the Superstar he took with him and played and so was now my kit.
Ah, now that's what I'm talking about. Amazing collection there. Wow!Thank you to Boomstick for alerting me to this thread! I had registered a while back and then all hell broke loose work wise so I've been a bit distracted.
Nonetheless, with the above mentioned encouragement, I'll post my collection of Tama kits. Yeah, I'm a bit of a collector with my sights set on a few more acquisitions lol
Some of the set ups have changed slightly, but these are the most recent shots I got:
