This vintage Tama Imperialstar is by far one of my favorite sounding kits. Its started as a 12, 16, 22, and MAN, I was about to get those 3 drums to sound insane! I love dry, punchy, drums, but these still have a bit of tone to them. This is the only kit ive been able to get to sound like this. Anyways, a friend fought a matching 18" floor tom so of course I bought that! Recently though, I was presented with the opportunity to buy a matching 10" tom, which are RARE. I never thought this kit would turn into a 6 piece, but it happened! The snare is a vintage 14x6.5 Tama Superstar

Almost as huge as this 18" floor tom!
The song is Root of all evil!
Yup, (Lars (unironically) nailed it) Root of All Evil by Dream Theater
This is probably the most satisfying drum refurbish you’ve done. That Tom was so nasty and cleaned up so well
Yeah! And I'd also enjoyed *this* one a lot: ruclips.net/video/4-Eh4bbz7t0/видео.html 😄
@@mightyV444 yeah that ones a classic
Root of All Evil - nice
One could argue that 18” floor Tom is literally the root of all evil drum parts
Lol, I was thinking... "Are my Dream Theater-trained ears deceiving me..?."
Octavarium is still my favourite DT album. The new one is really good though.
it transforms into bass on occasion too.
Time for a story.
Davids and his videos are actually my favorite I can find on youtube, and I usually stop what im doing to watch them. David has Inspired me to take up the restoration and modifications of drums as well, and its become my favorite hobby. I never wanted to fuck with drums and screw them over, but it turns out its a lot of fun. Youve opened opportunities for me to find.
The drum line that my schools marching band works with has experienced about 8 years of abusive neglect and everything short of the shells themselves are broken. But with the inspiration and knowledge that I get from these video im working on a $3.5k budget with my school to order brand new replacement parts and hold a community event to teach people about restoration.
So, thank you to both david and the community here. You guys are very much my favorite to be around, and have inspired change. Good work on the videos
Thats awesome to hear! Appreciate the kind words, Keep on killin it!
@@rdavidr hey man. Thank you
Your videos are the always so chill and amazing made! 👏🏻
KRIMH!!!
A wild krimh appears!
Thanks man! I would love to see you DESTROY on this kit haha
A few years ago i bought an 82’ imperialstar with an 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 24” kick and a swingstar snare. Plus a bunch of cymbals and hardware for $1000! All of this from a clueless guitarist selling drums on craigslist, the first drum kit i bought myself and my prized possession to this day, i had been watching your channel for a while and got super excited when i saw you got an imperialstar and you loved it too!
All of the shells have re-rings on them, and its a midnight blue, but ive been trying to find and 18” to go with it for 3 years now
it depends on where you sell it, craigslist for me was a rip off almost every time! On the other hand you can find whole kits more than just freaking parts for drums sets on there! One time I sold a 91 tama rockstar DX for about 220, the snare and stand alone was worth probably 150-200. The kid got a deal. oh and it came with double bass pedal and a few cymbals! looking back it was worth 300, because now those snare are rare!
You're going to have to make a video doing a cover on each Tama kit. PLEASE do The Root of All Evil with this kit, that floor tom sounds practically identical to Mike Portnoy's floor tom!!
I'm obviously too late to be the first to respond, but yes, that definitely sounds like the Root of All Evil intro! Fun fact: that intro was actually three floor toms layered together; which makes the sound of your single 18" tom even more impressive...
I've been playing a vintage Swingstar for a few months, and I don't think I'll ever buy anything but Tama after this. It's so easy to tune, I'm in love with the sound, and the Metallic White is a beautiful color
Had a Swingstar in Metallic White since 1983. Still Loving it!
Hey David! You should add all your sets together to make the worlds largest drum kit
Yes! That would be a cool video… Dave’s Franken kit!
@@samcook1545 haha yea bro
I barely have the room for them all stacked up, let alone with them all set up 😂
@@rdavidr 😂😂
@@rdavidr build it outside
The "never enough " intro in the end of the video was amazing dude Cheers!!
I’ll be honest, nothing beats those vintage 70s Imperialstar drums. I’ve got a kit myself (larger sizes though) and they’re the best kits I’ve ever had the pleasure of recording across genre and style. Never getting rid of mine
For real! Theres something special about these old imperialstars!
My drum teacher had a 4 or 6 in, Bird's Eye Maple tom. I just remember it was really tiny. The President hand delivered it because he wanted to meet the drummer who requested such a tiny drum 😅
it's always a good day when david uploads something
I second that.
I have that same kit. I traded a North drum set for my first Imperialstars in Metallic Blue 1978 and am back with 22/24/10/12/13/14/15/16 in Metallic White but use just the 22/10/12/16 as my main kit. I love them.
Very cool! I had an old Tama Imperialstar 9-piece single kick way back in the day :)
Great video, the build of those is incredible, superstars when they first came out were oiled outside and had rerings ,very scarce also.
Vintage TAMA drums sound Amazing.👊🏽
Congrats on the find and amazing resto job 👍🏻👍🏻 I found an orphan 10” as well in Platina wrap a few yrs ago, but mine doesn’t have re-rings while the 8” tom i found does have thin re-rings
That snare sounds so good
I like the way you auto clean drums.....its real nice..removing every detail of dirt...its exqusite!
That Imperialstar in that same color was my very first kit back around 1990. I've upgraded several times over, but plan on buying another one exactly like it sometime soon.
Man, that really did sound like Portnoy's gong drum lol, it's great
It's almost criminal how good that kit sounds
I love when you said “ maze of drums “ I can relate I’ve got 16 drum kits in my living room
oof, and I thought I was bad!
I've been collecting 1970s Imperialstar for the last seven or eight years. And it's just perfect sounding druma for studio recordings. I just had two 10" toms and one 8" tom after searching all those years. So I'm very happy that you found a 10" tom for your White Metallic kit.
I enjoyed the fragment of The root of all evil hahahahaha
Nice Mike Portnoy thing at the end! "The Root Of All Evil" intro.
I just bought a metallic white 8x12 Imperialstar. I just bought it for the lugs. My Imperialstars are hairline chrome. 13-14-15-16-18-24. First four were concert toms. I converted the 14 and 16 to double head. Going to use the lugs to convert the 13 as well. My goal was to clean up and flip, but I love it. My Super Maple Superstars and honey amber Starclassics are just sitting right now. I don’t have any Fiberstars… yet!
Man. That opening tom rhythm reminds me of This Pyramid is the Ascending Spiral by Zebulon Pike.
It's the snare that stole the show for me.
Great great sounds from that classic kit!
I think its the theme music , I don't know!
But keep restoring parts and pieces and playing them. Fine gig.
Pretty slick kit! And it sounds amazing as well. 🤘🏻
Great ! Impressed with the repair and demonstration. Never forget getting my tama swingstar drum set in 82 ish . I’m a Ludwig guy now though
Ah yes the root of all evil. My favorite drummer of all time. Great vids man keep it up. Been watching since the $20 drum set 🤙🤙
That kit sunds super badass. You're an excellent drummer too.
The two large floor toms remind me of Indians - Anthrax, one of my all time favorites. Also, for the first time I turned on my surround sound and cranked this video up - OMG sounds amazing! Love your videos!!
You should totally make one giant kit with all of your gear
Oh yeah! Definitely The Root of All Evil! Nice!
I like those little toms but nothing beats an 18" floor tom. Like having a loaded cannon at your side.
I would guess you were playing Dream Theather's song "This dying soul" by the great Mike Portnoy. Very Nice job mate! I learn a lot from you.
Mike Portnoy, but not This Dying Soul. Root of All Evil, from Octavarium.
@@deantalbotdrums nice one! I forgot this one! When David played I automatically thought that maybe he wasn't with it's double pedal😂😂 thank you for telling me🙌
Hey great video
I love the tone from the vintage imperial star❤️
I have a full collection in this colour including
12, 13, 14, 15 “ toms
16 & 18” floors
22x 14 kick
24x 14 kick
26x 14 kick (little boy)
Only one missing is the 10” really hard to get in the U.K..
You have done a great job with that kit, wow. I have a Tama Superstar (natural wood, no wrap) 5 piece kit from back in the day that sounds great and looks like a big piece of furniture. That set and me have been up and down the road and I will never part with it.
I have 10, 12, 13, and 14 rack toms in Metallic White too. My main kit.
Love these videos I missed them so much!
Loved this Video!!! Great job on the restoration!!! Great job on the playing.:)
Nice groove by the way 😊
Dream Theater. Root of all evil. Hell yeah
Awesome video Dave! And amazing drumming :)
It is rare. I restored a 1984 imperialstar (same finish). At the time (circa 2010). the only 10" toms that I found were concert toms. I considered drilling and adding the 2nd head myself.
Oh my goood that snare and that kit sound soooo goood
Those sound great man!
It just fits fits right in
-Little bits
very good job David!
BTW, I've got some of those lug casings if you need.
Look at those beautifully cut bearing edges! Dont see that on mass produced kits anymore. Go to Jeff Kirsch for the best edges around!
So, the second he started picking new washers, and went with black , I audibly said the phrase “atta boy”. Like… , it just involuntarily came out of my mouth.
Drum-smith-ship has that effect on you.
#drummerslife
The Root of all Evil 🤘🏻
Great Kit!!
sick snare!
I need a vintage 80/90's Imperialstar 12x 8 or 9 in Vintage Red!!!!
The Root Of All Evil! Portnoy era!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Yo David love the vids but do u use dish soap or another kind of soap for the soapy water treatment?
They sold you the old stash with it 😬🤯😂🤣
I'm restoring an old Yamaha kit and I'm wondering what kind of brush you use on that machine you use to scrape off the rust?:)
tasty lick at the end of that first progression, boy
can't wait to have my own house and be able to play again. dust off the old sticks again.
Super cool. Funny I just scored an orphan 10x8.for my pearls, new heads and a bastard cymbal stand later, more fun..yay!
is it wood or some kind of particle board?
Everyone already said Dream Theater. But I was gonna say the 18" floor tom sounded like Chaos AD by Sepultara.
"A little bit of lube never hurts."
Translated- "It never hurts with a little bit of lube."
I had no clue you had ever listened to Dream Theater, The Root of All Evil is an awesome track (10:38)
The 10 inch looks and sounds great! What tuning tip do you have for tuning the 10 inch tom? I have a 10 inch Tama Starclassic and for the life of me, I can’t get a good sound out of it. Thanks
David stop screwing around and show us the drum collection already!!!!!!!! Lol
How can you afford all this‽ Tools and workshop/ buying tons of drums.
Speaking of rare Tama drums. Do you or anyone in the community have a 16x18 (depth x diameter) late 90s/early 00s Rockstar floor tom?
Great kit! What's the tom mount used here for the 10 and 12 toms?
ones a gibraltar and the others a ludwig. just plain tom arm clamps
10:39 the root of all evil lml
good ol' drum cleaning video
Sounds like toms onjan hammer Miami vice tune
What is that wavy looking zildjian??
I have a 9pc Tama Swingstar kit I bought (Wrap looks like Eddie Van Halens white&red striped guitar) bought it a few years back because I had one when I was a teenager in the 80s. Put black pinstripes on it and it looks killer sounds pretty good to you want to buy it? Hahaha 😂
10:42 Is that Root of all evil by Dream Theater?
Would you do a snare drum giveaway?
Nice
Root of all evil
what coated heads are you using
Remo emperor coated 👌
@@rdavidr thanks
Can you ship any of your kits to Africa (Zambia) I wanna buy one of your kits,if you have any just for practice perpose!
Why not use 0000 steel wool on the rims and hardware. Its always worked well for me
ive noticed steel wool scratches certain chrome. Aluminum foils works just as well and costs nothing, so I tend to only use that.
Yeah, I also hate with I unintentionally load 6 different credit cards and then my wife discovers my 12 DW Limited Edition kits I keep in the Church's secret locker room for "buy and sell" purposes
SO annoying
Root of All Evil- Dream Theater
Snare!!!!!
The angle your sat at when reaching for those floor toms? That must be awkward!! Why don't you set your kits up ergonomicly?
The Root of All Evil
?
What an amazing kit but what is wrong with you....the remo logo, one up one down. Madness...🤣
Wish I had ultrasonic abilities 😔
OK MIKE PORTNOY
root of all evil by dream theater!
Dude that 10 inch with re-rings is *EXTREMELY* hard to find (ESPECIALLY one with re-rings)! I got an 80's Imperialstar in Midnight Blue wrap with 10x8, 12x8, 13x9 rack toms and 16x16, 18x16 floors though the 18 has re-rings. I got the Copeland kit with the Pearl B4514 snare to go with it!
Awesome! 😀👍 I once had a 70's Imperialstar kit in Metallic Blue just like Stewart's first Tama, as seen in the 'Rock Goes To College' gig video 🙂
Have the same in jet black finish but without 18x16
