Tama Starcl. Walnut/Birch 5pcs -MBR

The Tama Walnut/Birch Starclassic is a beautiful kit. I opted for the molten brown burst which reminds me of African Giraffes and smooth creme coffee up close, superb, it's immaculate!
Going from all maple drums these are a real departure for me, they have much more projection and bite than I am used to, but followed by warmth and depth, they really do sound fantastic. Even more impressive is how they feel to play. I have tuned the toms low and they are rich and deep without feeling flabby to play, and I currently have them tuned higher where you get excellent response and feel from this kit.
The hardware is also second to none at this price range.
All in all I am delighted with my purchase and am more impressed with it than I even thought I would be!
