Thats the stuff right there....none of the new swingstars are anywhere near the 80's ones. He sold them for pearl masters studio.....weird kid.

Members gcdrummer Posted April 16, 2002 Members Share Posted April 16, 2002 Boone5 & Wally Thanks for the kind words. I've tried to sell these several times but I just can't. I want a new maple kit bit I'm not sure they would sound that much better, if any. I've had these drums for 17 years. ------------------my band- god complexcurrent project- here i am, the rock drama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey guys I see a lot of you have the Starclassic Performer, I was thinking of this series for my next set. Would you buy them again and what else can you tell me about them. I like the Violet color Oh and crushr24 you have to host your pictures at a web site first, like webshots (which is free) and after you do that type [This message has been edited by Nagi (edited April 17, 2002).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wally_groove Posted April 17, 2002 Author Members Share Posted April 17, 2002 NAGI: Yes....i would def. buy them again if they got stolen. I love the tone! First of all, it's TAMA. I like the starcast better than the optimount and all the others.... Next, it's birch!!! Perfect for the studio.....it's warm, but still cuts through....the kick it deep, and has a nice boom to it. I wouldn't know about the snare becuz i use a pearl maple one. (I bought the 4 peice) I highly recommend it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nagi Posted April 17, 2002 Members Share Posted April 17, 2002 Thanks wally_grooveI was looking at the Pearl session srx and then I looked at the Perfomers and I though they where going to be more expensive than the pearl but there a bit cheaper in price for the shell pack to my surprise. I don't care much for the opti-mounts anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rumblebelly Posted April 18, 2002 Members Share Posted April 18, 2002 Okay, I wasn't gonna post but I'll do it anyway. It's not my kit but I use it at practice (I have a Ludwig Rocker). Just your basic Rockstar, silver wrap (looks like stainless steel) with that standard 12,13,16,22 config. Single Iron Cobra Powerglide14" AAX Stage Hats21" AAX Stage Ride16" AAX Stage Crash18" Med-thin Avedis crash18" Wuhan chinaHe's got batter CS dots on the 12 and 13 toms. Surprisingly enough they don't sound too bad. Pretty deep and warm tone. At 5 bucks a head it was worth it to check em out. On the 16 he's got a clear emporer and the snare a coated emporer. Stock heads on the resonant and kick (yuck!). Been trying to get him to replace the stock heads. It's pretty Frankensteinized but still sounds pretty damn good except for the kick. Pretty dull, eh? Some of you other guys with the Starclassics make my mouth water...damn you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members iae1234567 Posted October 15, 2002 Members Share Posted October 15, 2002 I have two Rockstar kits that I've put together to make a 9 piece. One is rather old, late 80s perhaps? and the other is about a year old. The newer bass drum is a little bit deeper than the other, but that adds kind of a cool effect 22x16 Bassdrum 22x18 Bassdrum 10, 12, 12, 13, 14, 16 toms 14 snare I'm very proud...
