Amazing kit!!!! Absolutely love this kit. All tunings sounded great but that low tuning sounds like heaven to me. In low tuning I still prefer the bb’s, much more beef and low end from the bubinga, medium tuning both the wb and bb’s sound perfect, and then high tuning I prefer the wb’s, just a little more tone and mids to balance it out. Can’t go wrong with either one!! Tama drums are simply the best
Medium and low sound fantastic, High is ok and I think would be much better with coated heads. I just ordered this kit in Blue ocean ripple. Not sure I will use the 10" tom but it was the only way I could get the color I wanted with the shortages going on nowadays. Thanks for the review.
Last weekend I replaced my Gretsch Renown with the Tama Starclassic and so far I am impressed. I am replacing both batter and reso heads in the next couple of days. The stock heads are garbage. Will update with the results.
Made the right move. The Tama starclassics imo are in a class of their own, outside of the Tama star line, the starclassics are just the best. I have the Tama starclassic bb hyperdrive and wouldn’t trade it for anything. The bb’s have more low end and beef but I will say the wb’s sound better at higher tunings compared to the bb’s. Luckily for me I like my kit tuned medium-low so no worries for me but the walnut birch is a great replacement.
..." stok heads are garbage " - !!!??? sinds when are Evans G2 ( batter ) garbage ? Tama Power craft heads ( resonant ) are better than Remo UT ( made in China ) !
I have a tama Silverstar Kit 100 % birch , and its sounds awesome , how far this Starclassic sound? There is much diference in comparison of Silverstar..?
@@ThomannsDrumBash Thank you! It sounds great. Any dampening on it? In your experience, would you say this or the Tama Starphonic aluminum is drier and or fatter?
A always put one little Skygel damper pad close to the Remo sign. I actually don‘t know the Tama Starphonic Aluminum Snare. But would be great to do a video about different aluminum Snares :)
One of the nicest presentations of this kit. Well done!
Thanks!! //Simon

When it's turned up higher it actually sounds fantastic
I am also a fan of the high tuning :) \\Simon
I enjoy how you do not show off, and simply make the drums sing!
Thanks Eric! :) //Simon
You are truly a natural play and the Way you talk❤
I am usually a very low tuning guy but I really liked the medium and high tunings!
You sound great, as always, Simon! Well done!
Thank you Steven! //Simon
I have this kit in piano Black and I love it
I forgot to hit sub. DONE!!! That kit really sounds great! It speaks to me.
Welcome to the team!!! //Simon
That attack is so good!
Great presentation all around! Cheers...
Thank you!
That is a very well tuned drum kit.
Thank you Matt! //Simon

Nice demo. Those drums sound amazing. And is that a German accent I hear?
Yes it is :) //Simon

Cool thanks. I‘m curious about what you are going to say about the new heads!

Thank you!
I agree with you that kit sounds best tuned to medium. Low a good second. High not so much, but that’s just me.
Not just you. Most of us think the same.
Does anyone know what that rise is he’s playing?
What rise do you mean exactly? //SImon
@@ThomannsDrumBash Maybe he means Ride (cymbal)

Good question. I never played a Silverstar! //Simon
what heads are you using top and bottom of the toms?
Hi! Both are stock heads from Tama.
What finish is this drum kit in? Satin Burgundy fade?
Hey Geauxvols! Yes it is Satin Burgundy Fade. //Simon
@Thomann's Drum Bash #THomann Excellent playing and demo. Thank you! Can you tell me what snare you're using please?
Hi! Thanks a lot. It’s a pearl sensitive 14x6,5 aluminum snare

@@ThomannsDrumBash Yes, please! I would love to see that!
Love the kit of course. But what is that snare?
Hi Nina. This is a Pearl 14x6,5 Sensitone Aluminum snare drum.
Too dry of a sound I think. There's no body in this shells.
