This isn’t your run-of-the-mill cheaper drum set you would find at a department store. It’s actually a fairly nice kit for the beginner drummer. It doesn’t include the stands and cymbals, but cheap cymbal and hardware can be found at Musician’s Friend where this drum set can be purchased. Just search around for their Pulse Hardware. The black hardware is pretty cool looking. This should get the beginner drummer off to the right start.

Solid feeling hi-hat stand with two legs to accommodate double bass drum pedals. The price isn’t bad on this stand either. DW makes high quality hardware and drum gear. I personally own a DW hi-hat stand and it’s taken all the abuse I can dish out on it and it still feels sturdy, is quiet and smooth in action. You can’t go wrong this stand…

Tama Starclassic Maple 4-Piece Shell Pack with Black Nickel Hardware Supernova Sparkle

Tama ignited a thin-shell revolution with their Starclassic drums. This basic 4-piece Starclassic drum shell configuration provides a perfect foundation for creating everything from hard-driving rock to serpentine funk grooves. This Starclassic Maple kit includes a 22" x 18" bass drum, 10" x 8" and 12" x 9" mounted toms, a 16" x 14" floor tom, and black nickel-plated hardware.Shells For the optimum transfer of vibrations from head to shell, a thinner shell is better. However, less thickness often equals less strength. Instead of simply making thinner drum shells by using fewer plies, Tama slims down each ply and then cross-laminates them into a 6-ply 5mm-thick shell (7-ply 7mm bass drum). This combination results in a thinner shell that's actually stronger than others of greater thickness. Starclassic shells utilize maple, the most popular shell material today because of its warm clear sound.Minimum Shell Contact From the Star-Cast Mounting System to the single small lugs, every aspect of Starclassic was designed to accord with Tama's ideal of the bare-minimum of shell contact. Instead of metal badges riveted to the shell, Starclassic utilizes a maple airhole cap and a logo that is imprinted onto the shell before the final finish is applied. These features also contribute to Starclassic's rich, timeless appearance.Star-Cast Mounting System The Star-Cast Mounting System has always provided maximum resonance and stability for TAMA's pro-drums. Now TAMA has improved it. A new streamlined designed makes it easier to position toms closer together for greater ease and comfort than ever before. In addition, a switch to aluminum provides lighter weight and even truer tonal vibration. Last, but not least, Star-Cast is now plated to match your drum's shell hardware!Die-Cast Hoops Hoops not only affect drum tuning they also affect drum sound. That's why the choice of hoops was so important to the designers of Tama's professional drum lines. For Tama's Starclassic Maple, Tama chose zinc die-cast hoops, which are manufactured by injecting molten metal into molds. Die-cast hoops have more density and are more consistent in shape than triple-flanged hoops, which are manufactured by bending metal plates. Die-cast hoops make tuning more consistent and easier to achieve because the tension bolts always contact the hoop properly. Drums fitted with die-cast hoops also offer crisper attack, clear and resonant highs, and much more powerful rim shots.Claw Hooks Starclassic's claw hooks feature rubber spacers that help protect wood hoops from damage. The hooks and hoops work as one unit and won't separate or rattle, even on loose tunings.Bass Drum Spur Bracket Tama's MSB30 die-cast bracket holds the spur bracket securely, thanks to the same powerful hinge mechanism used on the MTB30 mounting bracket.Unique memory markers found on the folding spur bracket help simplify set up.

I don’t have experience with this kit or very many Tama kits, but wanted to place it here anyway. It’s a great find. High Quality Kit with great looking black hardware. Sparkle finish looks beautiful. Comes with Evans G2 heads. Minimal shell contact, which is always a good thing…
