Hi everyone! I would like to start this tread to map out all the limited kits from the silverstar family. It would be very interesting to see all the kits and to get some production facts and history from the experts here, especially since Tama has difficulty doing this! Sadly I’ve got my...

Tama Iron Cobra 900 Lever Glide Hi-Hat Stand: The perfect counterpart to Iron Cobra 900 Series bass drum pedals, the Iron Cobra 900 Series hi-hat stands offer incredibly sensitive, lightning-fast action, maximum adjustability and completely noise-free operation. The latest innovation on these...

JT147 - Tama JT147 John Tempesta Signature Snare Drum: The pairing of a 42-strand snappy snare with a deep 7" brass shell gives John's model an intense and powerful sound that has an unmatched depth of tone. With black nickel shell hardware complementing the brushed black nickel finish, the...

I finally have the budget for one & can't decide. So which do you guys think is better? There doesn't seem to be much of a difference though ( specs-wise )

For this second video shoot at the 2112 shop, I was able to expand my mobile recording rig a little bit, up to ten channels of API, Daking, and Neve-style mic preamps, so we were able to get some killer recordings of some dream setups. The first kit we pulled out of the pile was a Star Walnut...

Tama Rockstar DX 10' 12' 16' 22' Kit or Gretsch BlackHawk 8' 10' 12' 13' 14' 16' 22' With Evans ec2s heads

Has anyone bought one of these drumsets? What hardware do they come with, it seems impossible to figure this out from any website or youtube video. It SEEMS that it comes with 4 drums and maybe the legs for the floor tom, but no snare stand, no bass drum pedal, no hi hat stand, no cymbal...

Hello all, my girlfriend and I are both drummers and I use speed cobra hat stand and she uses iron. We both find no matter what, at certain points in our gigs the top cymbal just collapses onto the bottom cymbal. We’re wondering if anyone else has this issue with Tama gear and are contemplating...

Hello everyone. i just got an used double pedal Iron Cobra 600 and noticed the left beater is loose/have play. is the mechanism that hold the beater. when i place the spring to use it, is easy to notice the whole rod is angled. is this common? i uploaded a video on youtube to see what im...

Hi all, Hope you're good. I recently got a PST 10/12 splash stack and have been mucking around with it. I'm hearing a (quite aggressive) high overtone near the end of the sound. It is loud enough for me to not use these, but I'm sure I'm setting them up wrong. I use Tama stands, and seem to...

My main snare is the SONOR AS 1406 CM, an absolutely beautiful instrument, checking all the boxes for me. It sounds best at mid and high tunings, which is what I generally prefer nonetheless. Lately our band tends to play some softer pop/rock stuff, which is why I'm looking for a side snare...

Hello Everybody! I am new here and I would like to ask you a question. I have the chance and/or opportunity to purchase a new drum kit. First I would like to play mostly rock, hard rock, metal and others. 3 kits caught my attention and I would appreciate your comments and advice. 1. Used -...

After thinking it was hopeless she finally popped up. Tama 3mm cast copper 14x5.5” with hammered outside of shell. Original heads and hardware. It had been just sitting in a case and now it’s my time to care for this beautiful instrument. Very clean and heavy shell, new-old stock.

I took the heads that came with the snares (only two had original heads and one had been replaced) and put Fiberskyn's on them. The heads naturally mellowed out some overtones and enhanced the lower frequencies a bit. I really like the sound and look. In my opinion the heads go with the vibe of...

Hi evereyone! I recently bought a new Iron Cobra Twin Pedal (hp900PTW). This model has angle adjustable beaters. As soon as I began to play, I noticed a problem with the beater head. I adjusted the beaters to hit the skin in a perfect 90 degree angle and used all my strength to tighten...

I'm selling my pearl EXR's for a Superstar Custom Hyper Drive kit. The short toms and deep kick drum really caught my eye. Anyone have one? Anyone play one? what do you think? Peace!

Hello Drummer comrades, I come bearing a question. In my current quest for new cymbals, I am realizing what exactly I don't use. Ever. And what I really don't want to use, either. I have a 6.5x10 tom tom from my Tama Superstar Hyper-Drive kit, and I really haven't used it. I "used" it the...

I have recently bought some new snare heads (Coated Amb, Snare Side Amb, absolutely love it), and I tuned em up nice for me (nice fat and wet, slapping the snares) but I have a tad bit of undesired overtones. I have my old trusty Tama stock head that I plan on using...never, since the coatings...

Hi Everyone, I am having a dilemma. I want to purchase one of the two Bubinga kits. GRETSCH Purewood Bubinga or TAMA Bubinga Omni-Tune? I understand that it's all a matter of preference. I would like to know anyone's opinion or maybe experience that have seen or played any of these...
