The drummer is feelling it. Great demos! Bell brass is legendary.
I think it is ironic that for years there was so much emphasis on hanging small toms in a way that no mount is actually attached to the shell and now these newer old kits go back to the old tom mounting systems. Makes you wonder how much of this stuff is acoustic science and how much is marketing.
personally, i feel virgin kickdrums play much better. then again, drilled kicks are more convenient. eventually it comes down to taste
This isn’t a new kit though. It’s a re-issue of the original Superstar line, so they used the old tom mounting system to stay true to it. If they reissued the OG Superstar drums with hanging mounts instead, all the old heads wouldn’t stop crying about how they ruined it and wouldn’t buy them. All their high-end Star and Starclassic kits still use the hanging mounts.
Toms definitely ring more on RIMS type mounts.
I have a 90's sonor hilite kit and the 8" tom resonance is dramatically differant hunging on my fingers compaired to clamped on the mount, I thighten the mount as little as possible to retain its sustain. I wish i had a rims mount for it or the later sonor islation mounts. Its correct acoustic science
There's a lot of🐮💩 marketing involved
Great to see the original Superstars back in business! I bought my used, five-piece '86 serial numbered Superstar kit in Candy Apple Red back in 1990. Since then, I've slowly built it up kit with a CAR 22x16 kick, 18" floor tom, a 10" and 15" Granstar closed toms in CAR and made three concert toms (6, 8, 10) from shells purchased, drilled and beveled by Precision Drums in NY. I finished them myself in Candy Apple Red and they turned out great. Love my Superstar based kit... hopefully, I can someday find the CAR 12" concert tom and 15" closed tom in the original Superstar serial number range. Been inspired by Neil Peart since 1978 when I was 15 and discovered Hemispheres. The rest is history. :)
Had your Iron Cobra for 20 years! Mine must be coming round to 40 years old now. Bought in the mid 80's. Double pedal with power drive cams. It's so early it doesn't have Iron Cobra written on it, but it definitely is an Iron Cobra. Still going strong today, well ahead of anything else back in the day.
Plus I still use the Tama snare drum stand I bought then as well and of course my Iron Cobra Hi-hat stand that was first to have only 2 legs that were moveable so you get your double pedal right next to the Hi-hat pedal.
'Tama the strongest hardware in the world'.
The first generation Iron Cobras came out in 1993.
Great video!…thanks for the details!
@20:23 I still have the original steel shell from the 80’s and it looks as good as this reissue!
SOLID! Awesome! 70s! is ....
50th anniversary Bell Brass sounds great in this video. Nice job.
Tama make the best Drums in the world in my opinion
I like the new new steel SLP i might have to try one out
I love both of these kits. Fantastic sound. Nick D at sweetwater did a sound demo of the acrylic set where you could actually hear the drums because he wasn't slamming on the cymbals the whole time (hint, hint).
Surprised and disappointed that tama doesn't offer add-ons for either of the kits.
I have the exact same Tama Star series snare drum stand being used in these demos. It is a beast and as solid as a rock. So it’s bizarre that it looks SO very wobbly here! 🤔🤣
❤👌👌👍❤
DRILL SGT KEEPING THAT BEAT 2-3-4
What's up with Natal drums?
When mentioning the internal muffler you arent showing that you can turn the utter part separte to a certain tension, Then twist the 1 touch.. it isnt 1 set muffle tension
thats sounds good pity they did not show it.
@@krusher74 I don't believe they know about it... i saw Sweetwater music shop video, and Nick DeVirgillio never mentioned it either, he just said it barely touchs the head to muffle. but it is a dual function the ribbed wheel you can turn Than use the big one touch
My TAMA Royalstar drums are 41 years old !
It's funny how neither of these guys mentioned that the throw off on the Mirage snare is brand new for 2024. Such a great opportunity MISSED! These guys are not Tama fans!
That Tama steel snare, if you are lucky, you can still get a used drum original from the 80's. They are insane loud
There’s 2 used online for 350 and 400
The originals are seamless. Not sure about this reissue. It isn't mentioned anywhere that it's seamless which is something that's usually boasted about with metal shells.
@@Assimilator702 The new one has a seam, you can clearly see it on the Tama official demo when they show the muffler on the inside of the shell.
@yaronbinyamini241 I'll have to watch it again. DisaPPOINTED! Hard PASS! Luckily I have 2 of the originals.
@@Assimilator702 You're lucky! They don't make them like they used to. Don't see many seamless steel shells nowadays (the exception being boutique companies like Oriollo or Joyful Noise).
Sell the Premier line in the U.S.
Great video, and nice new reissues, but to pay 2k for these kits, and 4k for the Bell brass is very hard to swallow. I can get a high-end maple kit for that price.
It's not like birch is an inferior wood. It was and still is used today in studios. That Superstar kit sounds just as good a lot of great punchy toneful drums in the studio or live. I've played a bunch of maple kits...high end, boutique, and lower end. Sometimes maple doesn't have that bite and aggressiveness that birch can offer. All that to say $2k is a great price for that kit.
I never said birch was a lesser wood, I just don't think 2k is reasonable for a set like that, especially without a snare. It should be more like 1500$ tops.@@danoneill130
i ll get one of those brass ones in a few weeks. and shittin my pants for such incedibility
Im really disappointed in the 50 anniversary rollout from Tama except maybe the superstar but i would have rather seen a artstar custom or a grandstar reissue.
That bell brass snare drum retails for $5,599.99 CAD. LMFAO Are you guys out of your fucking mind?
I love Tama but The Silverstar series are better in sound and hardware than the Superstar
Those Iron Cobras are embarrassing 😳
you gotta be a freak fanboy to want them
@krusher74 16 year old skater boy type might like them. For me it's a big no thanks
I think it's cool. Looks fun compared to my other pedals. Maybe they're trying to court Will Calhoun
@krusher74 yeah, never owned a tama product my entire life and prefered pearl until the last couple of years but I actually would love the coral as it pops and has a unique look. But what the hell, everybody has to share your opinion on what is actually personal preference. I swear some people just is desperate to show their stupidity, fcking bellend.
That was in english?! Or in dutch?!
Geez..
EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKS GREAT AND SOUNDS GOOD BUT THOSE PEDALS LOOK WACK AND WEIRD
fanboys gonna simp for them
Not a fan of the superstar. Those toms sound dead.
Its not made of brass.Bronze.
i am a huge fan of TAMA , but the mirage i don't like .....taste question
I thought the mirage sounded good until I heard the superstar (especially the floor tom) and thought, yeah wood is better haha.
dont jump to just the shell material trope , there are many differances@@JazzyJonas
Indeed. @@krusher74
The best thing about these drums is the mounting system. This retro system proves that suspension mounts and all the over hyped and over priced mounting systems drums companies invent are simply marketing techniques. Yes I love my 2021 star cast tom mounts and quick-release memory locks but imo drum sounded better in the 80's with shallow bass drums, aged wood, metal on wood tom mounts, plain old triple flanged hoops, and drums heads with less plastic. I'm leaning towards picking up the acrylic version but might get the birch and acrylic. I appreciate Tama so much, I believe they make the all around best hardware and most affordable high quality drums.
