Def. sweet man.....my old church used to have an old 80-something swingstar. 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.

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 the

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!!

Thanks wally_groove

I 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.

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 Powerglide

14" AAX Stage Hats

21" AAX Stage Ride

16" AAX Stage Crash

18" Med-thin Avedis crash

18" Wuhan china

He'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.

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
