Here we have up for grabs is a rare Tama Starclassic Maple kit in Cherry Black from the Noughties that was handcrafted in Japan. This is the golden era for quality Tama Kits and the sound of this thing is amazing - it is thunderous!
Sizes are as follows:
- 24 x 18 Bass Drum - virgin/undrilled
- 14 x 10 Rack Tom - which is nice and shallow up front
- 16 x 16 Floor Tom - including legs and memory locks
- 18 x 16 Floor Tom - including legs and memory locks
Separate to this listing I also have a 12 x 9 inch rack mounted tom in the same colour. If you want to add that I will let it go for an extra £125.
If you are looking to sound like Dave Grohl or the like then this kit is for you! It does blah-u blah-u blah-u blah-u very well if you know what that means!
It is an ex-hire kit that I bought from London Drum Company with a view to restoring it. I later bought a Tama Star kit the same so now this one is surplus to requirements. It is naturally scratched up being an ex-hire kit both on the shells and on the chrome shell hardware but the shells and bearing edges are 100%. The sound this thing produces is sublime! Naturally this has huge history which has been played in many of the arenas and stadiums around the UK as well as by lots of big bands and famous drummers.
It has all of the original hardware except the bottom rim on the 16" floor tom which is a triple flanged hoop.
If you don't like the distressed look, then it could easily be painted of wrapped (even with stick film like Fablon or automotive wrap) and it would look a million dollars. I have new stick on transfers that are an exact replica of the exact logos on the drums that I will throw in if required.
I also have new lugs, some second hand lugs, and new bass drum claws that I paid a fortune for that I will let go for what I paid if you are interested in these too. I'll let the kit sell first before I list them and the matching 12 inch tom. Any questions please ask. You are welcome to come and have a look in Chelmsford by appointment if you so desire.
This kit would have been several £1000s new and you are able to steal it because it has a few scratches and bumps so it is a great pro level kit for entry level money!
This is local collection only in Chelmsford UK so I won't be posting - or splitting it sorry! Go on treat yourself to a huge sound, you know you want to - it makes a lot of sense and is a pleasure to play. Thanks for looking!
