I use the Starclassic Performer B / B in May 2006, what strikes most is the bass drum, which sound! very fat and deep (with skin aquarian super kick II), with a huge projection.
I have the kit 22/18, 10,12,14 in antique sunburst, I wish I had a kit but no 12/13/16.
I also like the fastening system of toms with lots of grouping of settings, the toms sound as deep although my taste is difficult to resolve, the harmonics are manageable in acoustics, but when it beeps in it is essential matte skin a little stamp, but frankly set the stage well it sounds really PRO, same is for the snare, it is very powerful, I have tried many different models in the same price range, the frankly I did not get any better, if you need to type in the series custom maple, (sound designer for example.) and there is not the same budget.
in retrospect I do not regret at all this investment, I am even really pleased, especially as tama is a sign of strength in terms of hardware.
