Value For Money :
Excellent
I just get a kit SwingStar "Heavy Rock", ie a bass drum 22 "x18", an alto tom 12 "x09", two toms, bass 14 "x14" and 16 "x16" + a snare 14 "wood, a pedal bass drum, a hi-hat pedal, two feet with a cymbal boom to re-entrant, a single seat, plus a ride 20", a crash 16 "hi-hat and a pair of 14 "
Which flashes first, the colors: "Platinum Gray" with black hardware. This color is beautiful! Amateurs, among others, drummer of RAMMSTEIN, this drumkit is for vows! Indeed, Christoph Schneider and Starclassic wear a color that taste in there!
Second, despite the unfavorable opinions I read on the web, the bass drum sounds very powerful, and the skin and the pedal comes home. I guess with a good Remo PowerStroke III and my foot Hi-Beat 70's
The toms sound quite properly, the sizes are very nice, but I immediately changed the skin for clear Remo Powerstroke III magnet sounds pretty dull.
I do not use the snare drum comes with, who already have a Ludwig Black Beauty 70's, the other would not take the road a long time!
Basically, this kit is perfect for those who do not have a huge budget, but want to differentiate ki on stage. In fact, the config with 2 toms bass and this color is both very "rock" and gives very class on the tone.
The accseeoires come with are very well made, the feet are stable, tom 12 "comes with a simple clamp and a small tom arm to attach it to a foot cymbal. The pedal is also completely is honorable, and I intend to keep it in case something goes wrong on stage! The spikes are perfect bass drum, although stable, Tama's what!
The set of cymbals can help a beginner to go with a basic set, but they sound nothing transcendent. This is the level of Meinl game down to a few years ago.
The price / quality ratio is great. This is a kit called "beginner" but I suggest just for rock drummers who want a little fortunate that kit from the mouth. For a few euros more, you can of course afford a Pearl EXR which also offers beautiful vintage colors, but this model is the best-selling Pearl in the world! This is primarily what made me look away! The drumkit is the personal instrument par excellence, one must choose the kit that most closely matches our vision of our music, both in terms of sound, as the visual!
I tried a lot of kits before, including a Ludwig Accent which, in the same price range has almost made me flinch! But what choice I would do without hesitation.
on the other hand, for that price, Tama does not provide the suspension system fitted to the model Starcaster above, the Superstar. Anyway, the batsmen would have passed for centuries! And for the diehards, it may well get one in 12 "apart and the self-assembly ...
Latest news: It's been a few months that I play on stage and in rehearsal with this kit, and I have no complaints! This is great! on the other hand, I was pleasantly surprised about one thing: while this kit is input-oriented "rock", well I should say that for some time, my game is moving more "light", plus jazz, and I just set up my kit in white skins EVANS G1. Touch and very nice, and the drumkit sounds great! it's even easier to give my old REMO Pinstripe ... And no need to gaffer, there is no harmonic annoying! Notice to jazzeux!
