In this video Nick D'Virgilio is demonstrating the Tama Silverstar Mirage 5-piece Drum Kit. I have a soft spot in my heart for clear acrylic drums because they just look so cool on stage. You can get very dramatic with the look of your stage set up with a kit like this and that is definitely something to think about when looking for a new drum kit that you plan on performing with.
Not only does this Tama Silverstar Mirage drum kit look cool, it really does sound great. The drum shells all come with precision-cut bearing edges which really help to get a nice tone. The kits comes with 7" x 10" and 8" x 12" rack toms, a 14" x 16" floor tom, a 6" x 14" snare drum, and a 16" x 22" kick drum.
The hardware that comes with this kit is sturdy and well made. The rack toms come with Tama's Star-Mount suspension system to let the toms hang freely and resonate, and you get two Tama Fast Clamps to attach them to cymbal stands. There are low mass lugs on all of the drums that also help to not choke the drums and add tone. You may not put much thought into kick drum spurs but Tama has, and the spurs that come with the Mirage kit are great in my opinion because of how easily adjustable they are and all of the angle options you have. The hoops that come with the kit are wood but the claw hooks that hold the hoops onto the kick drum are all rubber lined, which is a fantastic feature to help keep the hoops looking good and scratch free.
If it is time for your next drum kit and you have never given acrylic drums a try then you should definitely check out this Tama Silverstar Mirage drum kit. Looks and sound come together for one very nice package.
with only one mic. what a kit
Some drum sets are just too beautiful for this world
So true!
hey.just got the 6piece version a few weeks ago. they are awesome..warm, punchy, and musicalsounding..perfect for MY room as my daily kit.
Tried this kit @ Guitar Center - was really surprised at how great it sounded. Very consistent - good tone. A really great sounding kit at a great price point if you are considering an Acrylic kit.
That 10 is cranked!
Yes. It is even higher than the snare. Why?
This to me is not only the best sounding kit out there, but one of the best sounding kits out there period.
I'm going to be perfectly honest. That doesn't make sense.
One of the primary reasons to get a clear set is to put lights in. Live playing is great visually to the audience.
Everything in this clip is clear: appearence, sound and playing :)
The choice is clear, “for sure”!
Really appriciate your demonstrations Nick! you explain allot very well. Thanks.
I guess you could say these drums have a very "clear" tone
I'm sorry
Big Moist Jr. xd
Shusty Rackleford Lol!
Shusty Rackleford Garstka made the same joke on his RUclips video for guitar center for the promo for this kit.
Get out!😂
I saw right through that comment.
I'm saving my money for this kit! the toms, omg what a sound!
I said the same thing! The toms are beautiful! They cut through so nice and have a very aggressive kind of tone...Need these drums!
he is realy good reviewer everytime
finely a drummer that sounds great on a review
Great review :) I got the 6 piece kit as my studio kit a few years ago and I love it. I use it to shoot drum cover videos for my RUclips channel. I get a lot of comments on how great the kit sounds. Thank you Tama!
If you watch it in 2x speed you get Dennis Chambers.
sounds better than the DW set...
No, it's not
Totally agree
Only tools buy acrylic sets
sneakerjoe23 This man’s showing up to a 5 year old video to call someone a tool for buying something they enjoy and that sounds good to them. LOL. Amazing. You’re the very definition of a tool, buddy.
These sound much better tuned a little lower than how they have it tuned here in this video mainly talking about the two rack toms, imo they are tuned too high but that’s just my preference but imo these are Much better than the pearl crystal beat acrylic kit and much better than the DW design series acrylic kit. No surprise tama did it better as they do with everything imo. The older tama starclassic acrylic kit that portnoy used to use sounded awesome but these silverstar mirage acrylics sound great as well and a good price point.
Just bought these and I'm painfully excited to go home and play 'em. Nick knows how to sell a kit.
will you share your experience? thnx
Nick's playing is sooo good!
This sounds great, I love your style of advertising and playing, also.
That 10” tom sounds amazing
What a great demo of these drums. They sound amazing. Great playing by nick. I wish I bought these drums, but I'll have to stick with the Ludwig maples I have.
Nothing wrong with maple anyways .
paiste cymbals the best
I like Zildjian much more.
FITE ME
@@Abandoned978 nah meinl are the best
My moms are better
I didn't know Tama made a clear kit. this is cool!
I’ve had this kit for a while and just case you want it.. it’s well worth the used prices it is going for. The bass drum is absolutely incredible. So thumpy. The toms sound amazing. The snare, though.. is ABSURDLY LOUD. Probably a typical acrylic thing. It sounds good but that’s just something to be aware of.
There is a guy near me that said he would take no less than $800 for a 4 pc of these. Good deal?
@@Dyerdrummer I'd say so. It's a killer set! I got mine with 3 toms, the snare and the bass for 800 and that was a year or two ago. It's going up to 1000-1200, so snag it at that price if it's in good shape. Check the bearing edges like you should with any drum, but especially with acrylics. Honestly though, my snare has a bit of a warped edge from where it was stored in heat and it still tunes up perfect and sounds gorgeous.
@@arsonne thanks!
What’s wrong with a loud snare ? You need a loud snare to cut through the guitars and the other instruments.
Great with lights inside ...
Quite a nice snare..
Top drummer and super video. Thanks Nick
What is the best skin model to get the best out of this bass drum? Mine used to sound great with the original Tama skins but then I went for an Evans skin and really lost the basic tone and depth of the drum.
How low do you have the toms tuned? I have one I want my kit to sounds just like that pitch. Can you give me all the info the way you had it tune?
I prefer the sound of these over the DW and Pearl clear kits.
Steve miller groove good drumming great kit,
I wonder how many takes Nick does for each video? Guy makes it look seamless and effortless!
They sound better than the DW acrylic.
What cymbals did you pair with them? I just got one of these kits, and none of the cymbals I have seem to sound just right with them ... the Sabians I have with my Hyperdrives work great with that kit, but don't sound right to me with the Mirage. My 70s vintage cymbals don't sound good either. I was thinking something more exotic - Bosphorus? Would love some suggestions before dropping some real cash on cymbals to go with! Thanks for the video, really helpful. :)
Sounds killer.
that snare drum is fab ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
would you be able to compare and analyse or give the pro n con for Tama Silverstar Mirage acrylic and
Pearl Crystal Beat acrylic ? thank you
This guy is a legend. Worked with Kevin Gilbert and Roland Orzabal!!
.... and Genesis...
That kick sound S T O O P I D tho. Hopefully my 24" vistalite sounds that good once I get it restored and some decent heads on it.
The irony of you calling it "stoopid"....
sounds better than the DW that sounded dull and muddy.
im gunna go with the dw acrylic kit this one sounds awesome tho
or even the one from pearl man. it's pretty clean man 👍
They're all the same anyway. It all boils down to the hardware, which is better and so forth. The shells are all made by the same company and then DW, Tama, Ludwig and others just add their hardware. So who makes the best hardware?
DAM! these sound killer! I had a 2006 blue Ludwig Vistalite kit fresh from the factory but sold it @2 years later bcuz i just could not get the attack and volume I wanted no matter what skins I put on them.
I personally love wood drums especially maple wood .
So why can't these electronic drums use good samples like this and make us spend a fortune on trying to make them sound good?
I want one, cheers Nick, from Jase in New Zealand.
I am not a silverstar fan but this one is nice and very good sounding.
Great drum kit!!
Great playing and nice drums....my opinion spend an extra $400 and get the Starclassic Performer BB
E ovo je tončina a nije čak ni ozvučen auuuuu brate mili
thunder and lightning 100
Always enjoy Nick's playing, GREAT CHOPS!!! These sound nice though the snare is weak in my opinion.
The reason why the snare is weak is because it’s the type of snare head he’s using it muffles the sound .
Clean nice thank you.
does it worth it in a studio?or maybe I have to look for another drum set?thanks a lot
what stands are you using ?
Just bought my Tama Silverstar Mirage 10, 12, 14, 16. And with the 14 snare. Now Im trying to get some info on how to tune these "bastards". Im looking fot pitch, but have some trouble finding it! =O
Hi! If it helps you, I tune mine using the method from Rob Brown (youtube drummer, you can type "Rob Brown tuning"). He has different videos for the snare, toms and bass, but all are simple, fast and totally usefull. Its the method I used with wood drums and now with the Mirage. From all the tutorials and explanations I've seen for tuning those are the best for me so far. I also bought it a couple of days ago and as a starting point it works really fine for me.
Found something i really like. 16'' is D# 134Hz, 14'' is G 169 HZ and 12'' is B 212 Hz.
I'm thinking of getting one of these, how do they sound with good heads on it?
I have this kit with all the original hardware. What's it worth today?
I am trying to find a 14” floor Tom for this kit.
Should I get this or a Pearl Export?
Not a bad sound with no on-drum mics
Sands Great!!! JHBdrums.
What cymbals are those?
what are the cymbals?
0:34 Hoo Hoo 🤟🏼
What kind of wood sound similar to the acrylic drums?
+Bedoya M Juan P (moflecito) I'd guess something with a focus on the high frequencies, birch for example.
+Bedoya M Juan P (moflecito) i have 2 maple kits and 2 birch kits...none sound like my acrylic kit. the one nice thing, is that they don't variate in pitch if i'm doing outdoor shows, and the weather is humid.
scarabaeus Nope. Acrylic kits have muted highs and less attack. Theres a softness or a give in the hit. My old drum teacher has a 70's Camco acrylic kit and the sound here is very similar.
damn those cymbals sound nice, what brand are those?
Jacob Halfman They're Paiste, I believe from the Traditional's line. Amazing cymbals.
Jacob Halfman Indeed, they're Paiste Cymbals!
Jacob Halfman Looks like Paiste Dark Energy to me.
Jacob Halfman the whole cymbal set is Paiste Dark Energy for sure. The Ride is a Dark Energy Mark II.
Jacob Halfman Paiste Signature Dark Energy
does it come with floor tom legs?
Hangar 63 good lord , you would think so
dude I want one
watch it in 2 speed
Would have been better if you had let that 10” tom sing instead of tuning it that high. Still the kit sounds pretty cool
"Greatest drummers of rock n roll history played them, like John Bonham and um... you know, they sound great" lol
Paweł Morrison I think he added that bit in because a lot of people are still skeptical of acrylics so he was trying to add validity.
Paweł Morrison I'll add Bob Rondinelli to the list. Still not a long list though. :D
+TheAtb85 Chad Smith
he said 'one of' , not some of
Paweł Morrison what else could he say?
THIS OR THE PEARL CRYSTAL BEAT
It comes with a snare? RADACOOL
why do all of these paistes look like sabian b8s they soujnd good but look pretty damn cheap
Love the sound of this kit, but why only 8 lugs on the bass? C'mon Tama - you're more professional than that.
This or the ordeal crystal beat
I was more impressed with those high hats .Dang
Mike Portnoy uses that exact kit...would have been a much better example than Bonham xD Not meant offensively, just incase you're reccomending this to anyone, he'd be a very well par drummer. But the toms are too high sounding for my taste, honestly.
Portnoy used the starclassic mirage which is now discontinued
Are you a professional drummer?
Crystal “ ICE.”....would probably appeal to certain people..🥺
Put in some led lights inside

Why do these exist if exotic "tone-wood" is so important to the sound of your drums? Besides hardware, whats the difference between the discontinued Starclassic Mirage and these? Maybe thats why they discontinued them? Ultimately you're charging a ton of money for an inferior (soundwise) drum. Although Portnoy used them and his drums always seem to sound the same (which I love) no matter if they are maple, acrylic, or the latest bubinga.
Acrylics are hardly "inferior sounding" drums. If you were blindfolded you probably couldnt tell the differencd between wood & acrylic. Most people couldnt.
+ELiTE_OpTiic yes, the point I was trying to make is that Acrylic is Acrylic. It's not like there's different species like there is wood. So how can you charge so much for it in a starclassic and then a few years later make a budget kit out of the same stuff? Better hardware? Don't get me wrong I like the acrylic.
+Stephen Daniel Addeo (Lostboy) I think the Starclassic had the better hardware.
ELiTE_OpTiic
btw, I completely agree. I used the "inferior sounding" term to be a wise ass. People always talk about how inferior certain materials are but blindfolded no one could tell the difference.
+ELiTE_OpTiic Theres a huge difference. Especially with Bubinga wood.
Tim drums don't sound very good to me it sound like either out of tune or cracked or something
2x Speed sounds like Ben Shapiro for drums.
It's funny how you used John Bonham because he was a Ludwig artist
+aarwonable cheez NO not funny at all. He was referring to his use of Acrylic shells not brand!
Rob Chismar Yea. I know. Thanks for telling me a year later. I understand it was because Bonham used acrylics, but Bonham did play Ludwig. The reason it is funny is because Ludwig Vistalites are better than Tama Mirage.
Now that I don't know. I do know that I sold my new Ludwig Vistalites after @ 2 years bcuz I became frustrated with the lack of response and attack of the toms. I kept the snare drum and luv it.
Rob Chismar Well, that's what you get from acrylics.
Not according to this Tama kit in this video demo. They sound killer.
I don't like it. id rather have maple or birch
toms sound way out of tune
They're just tuned really high.
Tama drums sound aweful
sound like plastic like cheap booze from a plastic bottle vs wood aged refined liquor
I'm a TAMA fan, but I don't really care for this set.
