A Tribute to Yesterday's TAMA Superstar

TAMA's signature thin 100% maple shells endow the Superstar Classic with bold, rich tones to awaken your grooves and power your backbeats. Low-mass, low-profile lugs reduce weight on the shells for enhanced resonance across the board. And TAMA's Star-Mount system gives you unbeatable openness from your high toms without stands. Sweetwater knows TAMA enthusiasts will appreciate this Superstar Classic's matching maple bass drum hoops and classic TAMA T-badges.

Celebrating 40+ years of the TAMA Superstar

Since the 1970s, the venerable TAMA Superstar has stood alone. This bastion of quality and affordability has been the session drummer's choice for all things pop, rock, and metal. Today's Superstar is even better in the Superstar Classic, raising the bar yet again for working drummers everywhere.

TAMA Superstar Classic 5-piece Shell Pack Features:

  • Sizes (depth x diameter): 8x10" and 9x12" toms, 14x16" floor tom, 18x22" bass drum, and 6x14" snare drum
  • Thin, 100% maple shells have great attack and projection
  • 45° bearing edges honor the original Superstar
  • Low-mass, low-profile lugs reduce weight for increased sustain
  • Star-Mount system won't choke your high toms
  • Classic T-badges that TAMA lovers will enjoy
  • MTH600 double-tom holder included
  • All other hardware sold separately

Thrilled!

I bought this kit a couple months ago. I did plenty of research, listen to video reviews and anything else I could before settling on which kit I was going to get.
My Sweetwater sales engineer Chris Barry was super helpful in helping me choose which kit to get.
After playing this kit for a couple months, I can tell you I am completely satisfied with this purchase. I love the color. The pictures and video does not do this finish justice. It is gorgeous in person.
I did install Evans EC2s on this kit right out of the box so I can't comment on the stock heads. These drums sounds awesome!
If you are considering this kit, STOP! Don't consider it any longer and just go ahead and buy it. You will not be disappointed.

What power!

First of all, Sweetwater is amazing! Their customer service is top notch!

I stopped playing drums for about 8 years and decided to get back into it. 8 years ago I sold my 8 piece pearl sessions which I loved! Those drums I believe were Birch and Mahogany shells.

This time I decided I wanted to go with a 100% maple drum kit. Being I was on a budget but also wanted a nice maple drum kit, it was between Tama Susperstar and Pearl Decade.

After researching, I decided that Tama Superstar was it!

When I received my drum kit last week I was blown away as soon as I saw them out of the box. The Black burst Finnish is beautiful!!

When I played them for the first time I was shocked on how much BOOM came out of these drums!!

Very powerful, lots of tone and with stock heads!

I plan to get some double ply heads to control some of that tone and BOOM.

You will not be disappointed with this drum kit!
