Tama Swingstar - 5 PIECE DRUM SET - vintage 80's, made in Japan

$190.00

For Sale: Classic kit. Bass drum and three toms are vintage 9 ply Philippine mahogany with "Zola" inner coating. All made in Japan probably mid 1980's. The metallic type wrap color think is called Pewter. Snare drum is metal chrome type and is not marked- don't think it was made by Tama.


Bass pedal is an older Pearl model and is in good shape, works well. Snare stand is inexpensive generic model. Only other hardware included is the Tama Omni-Sphere dual tom holder.

Top heads on the toms are Evans CAD/CAM hydraulic oil filled and they look to be in good usable condition. Head on the bass drum is Remo Weather King looks to be in good shape, front head has circle cut out of it as shown in photos, has faded Tama logo on it. Snare drum looks to be complete and mechanically in good shape, no problems with the hardware/snare mechanism. Heads look good, sounds good.

These show some cosmetic wear but don't see any missing parts, damage, or issues. Can use a good cleaning and detailing- I did not attempt to clean these up at all and think they had been in storage for a while. Some of the chrome rims have minor surface oxidation on them the worst of which is on front part of bass drum at bottom, not bad though- look at the last listing photo and you will see this.

Bass drum 22" x 16", two stabilizing legs
Floor tom 16" x 16", three legs
mid size tom 13" x 12"
smallest tom 12" x 11"
snare drum 14" x 6", 8 lug

I don't play drums and can't say how these sound but have been told these older Tama drumsets can be excellent budget intermediate or beginner sets. They will definitely need tuning at least on some of the toms, heads are a bit loose and need tightening up/tuning.
