I'm the previous owner of this kit. David did this kit total justice!!! The carbon fiber wrap was my attempt to do SOMETHING to this kit as the wrap was in rough shape. I gave up on it and glad David was able to give this kit its proper due.
@@jackhwthorne It can however, I was toying with the idea of rewrapping this kit and tried the carbon fiber as an experiment. Not a huge fan then I had some other things come up that I put the rewrap idea aside. It all worked out as David did justice to this kit....more than I could have!
Dave: *applies white lithium grease to literally everything, meticulously cleans all hardware components prior to assembly, and can remove JB Weld with only a razor blade* Also Dave: I didn’t bother gluing the wrap to the shell
The reveal on this kit made my mouth drop. I’m extremely impressed with how good that yellow looks and what you did with the hoops. This is why I watch rdavidr. 👌
I worked at the Home Depot for 13 years, I’d gone for orange. I’ve been sponsored for my rehab, I chose drums! Every Thursday I have a drum lesson. I’m disabled for life, so financially for me to purchase my own kit, well my chance are nil. Back to your video. Looks great, nice job.
Sounds great! Think I’ve convinced my uncle to give my his late 70’s fibrestar, it’s 24” 13” 14” and 18” the rack toms are concert toms unfortunately but my get a bearing edge cut on the 14” and just have the one rack, I enjoy your videos, thanks from the uk
We just give a like here but definitely there is so much work behind this content David, we really appreciate your work...keep doing this, you are the man!
He made it look easy. And I know damn good and well there is NOTHING easy about rewrapping. They look great and sound fabulous! Congrats! Wonderful job
I repair quite a few vintage shells, and the one thing I would offer is how I cut the holes through the wrap. I use a small cordless drill and a block of wood. I determine the correct drill bit size for the hole. Hold a block tightly against the wrap side and drill through the hole into the block. Takes less than five minutes to get all the holes done and they're cut clean and exact.
I gave one of your drum stickers to the guitar player in our worship band at church. He filled in for me at a Thursday practice that I could not make. He thought it was the coolest thing.
Late 70s kit. I have an Imperialstar kit from the same era. Is the royal pewter color with the same hardware. The wraps from those years were not great. Nice job!
I always loved the sound of fiberglass drums... didn't love hauling them around though! I've got an old pearl fiberglass kit and I think I'm gonna give them the rewrap treatment!
Man, nice job! Looking forward to those Fibes kits! I've redone a few Fibes fiberglass toms before and they sounded great. I currently have a 24, 13, 18 Fibes (Martin era) acrylic kit with a matching snare, but no fiberglass stuff anymore. Keep up the good work, man! Love your videos!
I wasn’t sure about the yellow at first, but if looks fantastic I love the bass drum hoops too they really tied it all together, and they sound really good
This might be the driest sounding kit I've ever heard. I've never even seen or heard a fiberglass kit in person, at least that I know of. Glad I watched this.
Reminds me of John Coghlan’s Yellow Premier kit. Part of it can be seen on “John Coghlans Life Laundry” here on RUclips. As an ex tribute band drummer from London, really love watching your videos.
Fiberglass drums tend to go one of two ways. Drummers either love them or hate them. I own two Pearl fiberglass series. One has standard toms. The other has concert toms. I've seen very expensive fiberglass drums and I've seen them go very cheap. It just depends on the buyer. You did a great job as usual!
Everybody was playing Fibes at one point because they were louder and could project more. Their snare drums were legendary. Tama's first fiberglass kit was delivered to Simon Phillips while he was touring Japan back in the 70's. He's had called Tama up and asked if they could make him one. Took about a week.
What color would you rewrap your kit?
rdavidr black😎
Safety Orange
Turquoise/blue/ green like ocean kinda stuff
Glittery silver all the way. Them look hot
Solid white

If it makes you feel any better, I think carbon wraps look sick in the right context

It’s true I was the kit
I prefer the faux carbon to the lars yellow, but respect for realising you didn’t have the time and passing it on to someone who did.
Dave: *applies white lithium grease to literally everything, meticulously cleans all hardware components prior to assembly, and can remove JB Weld with only a razor blade*
Also Dave: I didn’t bother gluing the wrap to the shell
what do you mean? it's self-adhesive. like mactac.
@@sebp400 he didn't glue it all the way around, he just pulled it taught and stuck the overlap. the lugs keep it in place just fine.
I had to rewind that, I was like "what??"
Dude. You are a WIZARD. This is such a cool wrap.
🧙♂️
He's a drumzard
Or bearded drum wizard
indeed
I always think of Tony Williams when I see a yellow kit.
I was going to post the same thing! Tony Williams yellow.. nice color choice David!
I think of John Stainer, specially if it's a Tama
I think of Dennis Chambers
Bill Bruford 1990's with King Crimson... yellow kit and a matching yellow suit
Looks good and sounds killer! The vinyl logo you put on the front is brilliant! Well done dude.
This has to be one of my favorite RUclips videos of all time.
The reveal on this kit made my mouth drop. I’m extremely impressed with how good that yellow looks and what you did with the hoops. This is why I watch rdavidr. 👌
Nice Job David. It's fun to watch you geek out over your never ending supply of drum toys to tweak and play with.
Sound was absolutly AWESOME !!!!!
THE SNARE , my dream, not high, not low, still sounds. Love it!

pls dont butcher the concert toms, just buy a 14"
Excellent. Thanks for sharing! You’re a true craftsman, teacher AND a good drummer.

Congrats! Wonderful job

Seriously like the nicest looking set I’ve ever seen
Love the yellow! Excellent video. Also, ur playing is awesome. 😎
Prolly your best one yet! Great job.
One of the most talented people on this planet.
That's a really beauty Tama. Congratz!
Aww I love the kit!!! I might make mine a dark red or a white, but I love the green too.
Kit looks great and sounds even better!! Nice groove.
I love how it looks and sounds.
The floor tom sounds just amazing🤤🤤
Man this kit turned out super clean. I love that custom sticker you did
This was a Really Great Video! I had never heard of Tama Fibre Stars before. Nice Job and the Kick Hoops Made it stand out.
Man... your my hero!!! Supercool all the things you do! Thanks!
Dude that kit looks amazing!!!!
My goal in life is to have a drum workshop like yours. Great kit right there and i'm not a yellow type of guy either but it works somehow lol.
LOVE the yellow, and I never knew about Fibrestars. Great work man!
Love the yellow! Nice work my dude
The kit is great but can we talking about how good David just sounded
Those turned out great yellow actually looks pretty good
Your my favorite RUclips drummer man! You rock!!
You are a real more as drum tech but an artist not only as a drummer but and for sure as a technician!
Looks and sounds great, I especially the sound of the floor tom.
That yellow is so epic!!!

Dude that came out beautiful man!
this kit looks and sounds SO badass
Omg, complete package! Sound great, look great!
didn't know rdavid could rap...
straight bars son
Rap sucks
@@69zenos1 Not true.
Man, you can be proud! It looks beautiful! And it sounds too!

Sick color dude!!! It could not be better!!!
Really loving the thud from the kick and Toms, never been a Tama fan but loving this kit
It looks awesome. Well done.
You are an artist.... Too much talent...
You picked a color I’d never even consider but man oh man, that bad boy looks good.
That floor tom is low, and phat. Damn it sounds good. Nice color choice.
The best episode yet, great job!!!!
good job as always David 🤟🏼
Holy shit, instantly subscribed the moment you wrapped that first tom 👍
Beautiful!
I own an original run Pearl Wood-Fiberglass kit. It's amazing. I love the 12" tom, probably the best sounding 12" tom I've ever heard.
Might have to look into one of these!! Best sounding toms i've ever heard!!
Wow. Never heard of them! Looks great!
Great idea, Devoted effort, amazing result. Thank you for sharing.
Always a good day when a new rdavidr vid lands in my feed.
Not only do they look great but they sound great too!
I always loved the sound of fiberglass drums... didn't love hauling them around though! I've got an old pearl fiberglass kit and I think I'm gonna give them the rewrap treatment!
Beautiful kit! Tama forever!! Love my Silverstar kit!!
Man, nice job! Looking forward to those Fibes kits! I've redone a few Fibes fiberglass toms before and they sounded great. I currently have a 24, 13, 18 Fibes (Martin era) acrylic kit with a matching snare, but no fiberglass stuff anymore. Keep up the good work, man! Love your videos!
That tom just sounds awesome man!
Amazing job! I like the floor tom sound very much!
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Excellent work, that is a beautiful colour. I love it.
I wasn’t sure about the yellow at first, but if looks fantastic I love the bass drum hoops too they really tied it all together, and they sound really good
You're the most creative drummer i know what else couldn't you do
I never expected to like the look of a yellow set
Those sounds (and look) amazing. What a great setup
Color worked out very well.
Damn dude you did a great job. It's always a treat watching you do your projects,wish I could do what you do. Great sounding kit also.
Your drum work is awesome!
I love how controlled they sound except for the snare is a wee bit dry. Everything else sounds great and the goofy wrap choice worked. 👍🔥🐕
The yellow looks great
I, for one, think carbon fiber looks good on a lot of things. Drums included. At least you did something cool with these fiberglass shells!
This might be the driest sounding kit I've ever heard. I've never even seen or heard a fiberglass kit in person, at least that I know of. Glad I watched this.
Solid work man. Nice chops too!
Awesome episode rdavidr! I’m also in the fiberglass cult; “more birch than birch”. Love the channel!
These look sick!!! Nice job as always dude!
Set looks great and sounds great. Thanks for the video. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍
I'm in love with this kit.
Reminds me of John Coghlan’s Yellow Premier kit. Part of it can be seen on “John Coghlans Life Laundry” here on RUclips.
As an ex tribute band drummer from London, really love watching your videos.
Wow very nice work! The fibre looks similar to my Bello fiber glass kit. My drums have a painted finish like a fiber glass boat.
Whoooo weee those toms sound great.
Yo Dave, you should do a comparison of ALL of your Tama kits. I think it would be a cool thing to see for all us Tama enthusiasts!
Fiberglass drums tend to go one of two ways. Drummers either love them or hate them. I own two Pearl fiberglass series. One has standard toms. The other has concert toms.
I've seen very expensive fiberglass drums and I've seen them go very cheap. It just depends on the buyer.
You did a great job as usual!
Lofi Playlist on Spotify?
Hell nah I‘ll just watch David‘s videos for dem classy beats
that yellow looks great.
Kit looks badass man..NOOICE!
Love that yellow
I must be living under a rock, because I never realized Tama made fiberglass drums.
Only for a short period way back in the day
Everybody was playing Fibes at one point because they were louder and could project more.
Their snare drums were legendary.
Tama's first fiberglass kit was delivered to Simon Phillips while he was touring Japan back in the 70's.
He's had called Tama up and asked if they could make him one.
Took about a week.
Pearl did too. Early 70's
Well that’s just screaming out in yellow. 💛👍
Beatifull Drums man!!!! Congratulation for work. Saudações de Portugal.
What an awesome kit bro rock on 🔥🤟🏾
