These drums were only produced from 1988 thru 1989. This kit is rare especially because the Bass drum on this kit is 16"x 20" and that size was never even offered by Tama on the Limiteds. I'm the original owner and this kits in pristine condition. I've only played out 1 time with this kit. It also has the 8"x 14" snare with the ever famous tube lugs. I'm looking for either a 13" or a15" matching tom for this kit and any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Man, that is nice! It really is rare to see old Tamas with a kick smaller than 22". What size are those toms?
 
Just keep a keen eye on eBay ... beautiful drums ... Id venture a guess you've got "traditional" old school sizes there. 20,12,14 .... and your best of finding an "orphan" to match, is probably gonna be a 13" rack ... the 15 (?) ... you might have to settle for a 16 ...
 
Love the color, love the wood finish but I just don't like covering it all up with those rim to rim lugs. They came on one of my toms when I rebuilt my BUmble Bee Bop kit and took them apart and left that middle part off when I reassembeld them. But hey that's me and you have a great find there.
