Tama Starclassic Birch (Japan)

Tama Starclassic Birch (Japan) Genuine Japanese Tama Starclassic. Sizes: 12, 16, and 24 bass drum. Very high-quality drums, even though the Starclassic series is now made in China — this set was still made in Japan, back when Starclassic was still Japanese. The drums originally came wrapped, like many Starclassics. But their previous owner removed the wrap and painted them in a matte blue metallic, which shimmers very beautifully under different lighting and is pleasant to the touch. The painting is done quite well; all the edges (and of course the bearing edges) are clean, with no smudges or defects, except for a few minor irregularities in the applied paint that can only be seen if looked at closely. Overall, the set looks very beautiful, and furthermore, all the hardware was replaced with black (also genuine Tama). Originally, the bass drum had a tom mount, but it was later removed, and the traces of the mount were professionally filled with wood epoxy (this is like "liquid wood" that dries, repeating the shape and texture of the wood, and is even stronger than the wood itself in structure), and no traces of this mount are visible. Of course, the filled holes do NOT affect the sound in any way, since they were there anyway, and now they are evenly and neatly filled. It looks better this way, in my opinion). Floor tom legs are included, and the rack tom is attached as usual to a stand using a standard mount (can be purchased separately if you don't have one). An awesome set, a solid Japanese Starclassic.
