This is my Tama SuperStar Custom Hyperdrive sans rack toms in the Titanium Fade finish. 22 x 18 bd, 14 x 12 ft, 16 x 14 ft. Yamaha Kabuto 14 x 5.5 snare drum with DW brass snares. Heads on the toms are Remo Smooth White Emperors; snare has Remo Emperor X and Ambassador on the reso side. Evans EQ3 on bass drum batter and Remo PS3 with a port on the front. The cymbals are Paiste PST5 Rock 14 hats, 16 crash, 16 china, 20 ride and one Alpha 17 Rock Crash which sound fantastic and are fairly inexpensive. Now I’ve been a Paiste player since 1988 and I started out with the 3000 series. I played the 2002s and the PST5s and the Alphas I liked better (plus it’s the same alloy as the 2002s and RUDES, etc.) so please don’t tell me to upgrade to better cymbals. I can’t stand double pedals so I’ve got just a single Tama PowerGlide. I’ve also always hated playing cross-handed since I started playing drums in 1985 and since I don’t play rack toms anymore I decided to go Bruford style and put a DW remote hat right in front of myself. There’s an LP Rock cowbell also. Oh and there’s also Tama and Gibraltar hardware holding it up and holding it together. I always played Yamaha kits with Tama snare drums. I was going to go with a Starclassic B/B but I was so impressed with the SuperStars.
