Members Docta Jones Posted September 2, 2009 Members Share Posted September 2, 2009 I was at my local music shop this week and saw a very nice looking black on red kit listed as Tama Starworks. Anyone played one of these kits? If so how would you compare to the Granstar or Rockstar line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members manoeuver Posted September 2, 2009 Members Share Posted September 2, 2009 oh sakes, I just found this copy online. these drums conform to nothing! Inspiration...Aggression...IdentityTama's Starworks series of drum kits are designed for the individualist first and foremost. The drummer who's aggression forms their identity and is the fuel that inspires them. Equipped with uniquely designed lugs, completely original finishes, and forged-black hardware, the Starworks series is the answer for drummers who want a kit that conforms to nothing, but is all their own.

Ah, that would be why they aren't making more of a fuss about them. I had really only heard the name here on the forum where people had asked about them and said they were only available in Japan.

Members The Shredder Posted June 1, 2013 Members Share Posted June 1, 2013 Okay. I own a Tama Starworks, and it does me fine.It is very resonant, and very versatile.It isn't to hard to find the tuning you want, if you have decent skins.I live in Australia, and I bought mine over here.I think they are slight above the Rockstar when comes it to the Tama Product lists.
