Overview
The Tama Superstar Custom SX Hyper Drive 6-Piece Drum Set delivers all of the power, flexibility, and visibility you need to pull off an unforgettable performance. Hyper-Drive's unique and perfect combination of modern and traditional drum sizes offers sonic power with clarity, unparalleled set-up flexibility, and complete performance visibility.
Birch and Basswood Shells
Tama's highest priority feature when developing the Superstar series was sound. Superstar shells use birch for the main inner ply for strong projection and aggressive open sound. To enhance Superstar's great looks, basswood, with its excellent consistency and regular grain patterns, is utilized for the inner ply on all Superstar shells as well as the outer ply on Superstar Custom SL. Precisely cut bearing edges bring out the great response and powerful resonance of these superbly crafted shells.
Hyper-Drive Toms
Hyper-Drive is the new standard depth size on tom toms. Its short depth creates enhanced attack, punchy sound, and quick response. And more it allows you to set up the rack toms in lower position. So, you can post the tom toms more freely.
Star-Cast Mounting System
All Superstar rack toms are fitted with a Star-Cast Mounting System similar to Starclassic drums. This unique system offers total tom isolation and unhindered shell resonance without the adverse effect on tuning or complicated head changes found in less advanced suspension designs.
Die-Cast Hoops
In a first for this price range, Superstar… read more is equipped with the same zinc die-cast hoops featured on Starclassic drums. Die-cast hoops not only make tuning easier and more consistent, they also provide crisp attack, clear and resonant highs, and much more powerful rim shots.
Sound Bridge High-Tension Lugs
The Sound Bridge high-tension, low-mass lug was specifically designed for Superstar. Sound Bridge's unique structure looks much like a traditional high-tension lug, but the body of the lug floats over the shell to minimize shell contact so the drum can resonate to its fullest. However, Sound Bridge still offers all the benefits of the traditional high-tension lug: it offsets the tension of the batter side and bottom side heads, reduces the stress on the shell, and provides greater protection to the drum shell during transport. read less

"Intermediate-to-Advanced Drummers, Here you go."
I'm probably gonna try and custom order an 18" Floor Tom to match... But still, Everything this kit comes with is great. If you're thinking about getting it, just do it.
Sound
Right out of the Box, they sound Warm and Punchy. Like a Drum Should.
Features
The Die-Cast Rims, the Star-Cast Mounting System, the Short toms, What else do you need? This kit gives you everything you need except Cymbals. Even the Bass Drum Claws are awesome; the Heads of the Tension Rods don't stick out for you punch your knee on.
Ease of Use
Pretty Straight-forward assembly. The Star-Cast mounting system is sweet. Not as sweet as Pearl's Opti-Mount system, but it's awesome nonetheless.
Quality
This might not make any sense, but the Toms are actually a little heavier than the Bass Drum. This is because of the Die-Cast rims, no doubt. This is also because of the number of Plies these drums are constructed with. The Bass drum is a bit light for my tastes; I'm deathly afraid of a crazy singer or guitar player standing on it... ...And, the Wood Hoops seem to "Give" too much. I'll be picking up some aluminum ones. People tend to grab the drum by the Hoops when moving it, and there's a high probability of the hoop breaking or the Drum going out of tune. That's the LAST thing you want happening as you're setting up for a gig. The Toms and the Snare are great, tho. I could go for some… read more more lugs on them, but I shouldn't complain.
Value
For the Money, this is a GREAT kit. Not for beginners. It looks great, it Sounds great, comes with everything you need. Buy it!
The Wow Factor
Looks Great. Blue is my color. Low-Profile makes it a Hot Rod of a kit. Yeah.
