2011 Starclassic Maple kit. 8x7, 10x8, 12x9, 14x12, 16x14, 22x18. I am the original owner of this instrument and have used it solely as a recording kit. It has never been gigged or out of a climate controlled environment. Upgraded to include contemporary vents and the newest Starclassic mount system. Over the years my dumb @ss scratched the finish in places as it was moved in and out of recording booths, during setup and teardown, etc. None of them are through the lacquer, only through the clear coat. I do not feel comfortable attempting to repair these as I lack the skills.
Shells are 100%. No cracks, bearing edges are as they were the day it left the factory. Only some surface scratches to which I have gone great lengths to photograph. These look much worse in the pictures, but would rather be overly honest as it is not a 'mint' finish but the shells are mint and would probably last another three lifetimes.
I love this kit so much that I special ordered another one through TAMA in January. The only reason due to the fact that I am getting older and ordered a smaller kit with shallow depths as they are lighter and easier to move. Getting old is not fun but I am going to hold onto playing as long as I can!
All drums except the 14 were manufactured in 2011. The 14x12 was an add on and it was manufactured July of 2023. So it is 'mint.' In 4 decades of playing I have never heard a better instrument. Big and booming, with a dynamic range and clarity of sound greater than any other kit by a considerable margin. These drums are legendary, and due to some scratches you can have it for a lot less than it is truly worth.
