Lars Ulrich 40th Anniversary Signature Drum Kit -Limited Edition-

[@MikePlayDrums]

This guy put sticks in more kids hands than arguably anyone ever. Glad to see people finally giving Lars the respect he deserves 🤘

[@glengamble526]

Ringo would argue with this…but yeah, huge influence on many young drummers.

Nope. Peart.

[@richoamezquita353]

Maybe not the best or most technical drummer but certainly one of the most influential ones, he is the reason why many of us got into drums and that is a fact.

[@iliana_b]

sometimes you don't have to be super technical... you just have to find the right tempo/notes to fit with the songs with the band. Lars is the salt and pepper of Metallica!

[@leoadrian2486]

For me, Mike Portnoy did..

[@paradiddle5150]

Lars is the man. No Lars, no Metallica. He's not only the drummer, but is the major composer, lyricist and businessman. He's the entire package.

[@joesmiley5726]

The teenage version of myself would have watched this 1000x. That said this is my 4th time viewing this today.

[@SouthShine01]

Respect for 40 years filling stadiums around the world!!

[@craigtoots3391]

Dude is an absolute legend. Haters are jerks. 40 years!! Cheers to Tama and Lars! 🍻

[@nikoshatzimichael984]

Definitely! Numbers talk...

[@harrisonmackenzie]

WOW!!!!!! First the modern drummer video now this!! So nice to hear Lars talk about his kits, the history, and the context. Thanks!

[@ben1ben]

real

[@Jose-qh8rh]

Yo también pensé que la Tama blanca era una Artstar, pero tengo entendido que es una Granstar, todo un clásico de la marca...es un casco grueso, un híbrido birch/Mahogany...

[@VintageSixPiece]

I'm a Tama customer but not a good one. I bought my 1981 Imperialstar second hand in 1989, and I still happily use it because the 9ply Mahogony shells with the platina finish sound unbelievable. I've done maintenance on the set but it's 98% original and still holds a tune on every single drum top head and bottom. I just added a 14 x 6 Tama Starphonic nickel over brass snare drum to the set. It's absolutely on fire. Thanks for the great times Tama.

[@davidcurtis4478]

This is insane! I'd be in heaven in that room. Keep Rockin' hard Lars! Love ya man! Legend! Lars' drumming is incredible! 100% respect! So innovative and for the song. Thank you Lars for all the years of Metal and inspiration 🤘🤘

[@aaroneslinger7968]

I've played exclusively Tama for 3 decades just because of Lars. Huge impact on me as a child. My dream would be a re-re of that White and Black kit.

[@brianphillips9152]

Tama throughout the 80s and early 90s was just on another level.

[@shanegriffin2215]

Saw them on the Monsters Of Rock tour in 1988. The grey and black kit. Was blown away. Lars is incredible, no matter what anyone says.

[@DeaganZ3488]

I’m proud to say he got me into playing back in 1992 with that badass white and black kit. Metallica is life!

[@SALTYDATTO]

When I was 15, my Master and justice cassette taught me drums. Thanks, Lars!

[@Drewsguitarvids]

You inspired me to play drums and I can point my drum addiction to you thank you

[@StealthMode90]

As a Tama drummer this was just awesome to watch , im so glad Lars went into this much detail with each of the kits. All the drummers that inspired me growing up my favorite drummers all played TAMA. Lars Ulrich Metallica. David Silveria KoRn and now Eloy Casagrande Slipknot and Mario Duplantier Gojira! just to name a few and look what they accomplished with Tama drums! Tama is eternal!

[@hugorezende199]

you forgot dave lombardo ans chris adler!

[@StealthMode90]

@hugorezende199 I thought Chris Adler was a long time Mapex drummer? 🤔

[@Ronniejamesleo]

@StealthMode90 correct

[@boigaming5861]

my fav drummer is stewart copeland

[@flavy1000]

Awesome! My first loved drume drummer...That white kit, made me fall in love with Tama...!!! "Imagine if all these drums could talk , and the stories that they would tell you.." Hell Yeahhh!

[@nojnoj3069]

Thank you Tama, thank you Lars.

[@jonathanstancil8544]

I started playing in 89 because of me, not Lars. My good friend was a Tama guy because of Lars and my first round on his white 9 piece Rockstar DX made me a Tama guy too. For 30 years whenever I hear a sound in my head I can find it in a Tama drum. Truly my favorite.

[@markmullen1852]

I want the grey Justice kit so damn bad!!!!!

[@brianphillips9152]

dude they should put that one out again for the anniversary.

[@derekohlarik1198]

Justice Kit FTW!!!

[@tamaking2374]

He could have hopped all over the place in the last 40yrs , going from brand to brand and getting paid for endorsement of each new kit. Its hard to believe he wouldn't have had offers from , DW , Pearl , Mapex. Sonor. Ludwig etc.... Instead he stayed with TAMA...thats very cool , you have to respect the loyalty.

[@x8jason8x]

That I can give him. He's got good taste in drums. 🤣

[@davidfuller581]

All the Metallica guys have been remarkably consistent with their brand use. James and Kirk have been with ESP for very near to 40 years as well.

[@Lycanthony1]

Big love to you Lars and Tama for this moment of History !

[@GaryRaub74]

How cool was that to see all that history in one room? Hell yeah! Keep killing it, Lars!

[@mannygrossman]

I dont think Tama realizes how many Gen X would buy a reissue of the white Artstar kit. Total missed opportunity.

[@EddieJorgeDrummer]

My thoughts exactly

[@jybtqm]

I've been waiting on tama to release that for roughly 20 years, Lars and that kit was the reason my first Tama was white. I love the other colors but that white kit for me was inspirational along with Lars. I always love percussion but what made me want to actually play drums was the influence of Lars Ulrich, Mike Portnoy, Neil Peart, & The Rev

[@freerideforever888]

💯

[@PrinceAsmodeus]

The grey and black kit is the best one. 80s tama drums are awesome. I have a steel Mastercraft snare from 82. Sleeper snare

Hands down the most influential drummer of all time!

[@tamadreaming]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha thats a good joke

[@PetterHegevall_]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@tamadreaming Name one drummer more influential than Lars? Even myself is not a big fan, it still doesn’t change the fact that how influential he is starting from early 80s.

[@Ronniejamesleo]

Nope that was Tommy Aldridge

[@tamadreaming]

dave lombardo

[@xa0d3kt1s]

With all of these kits being iconic by now, Lars should make a combination drumset to represent all the different eras on stage 🤘

[@DavidOakesMusic]

If they ever do a farewell tour - he should definitely play every kit on stage

[@The_Other_Ghost]

6:34 shows how Chris Russio hits his snare.

[@ChrisrZ28]

Your not wrong 😅

[@MrSpiritdrummer]

This is part of the History of Rock 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@ryanbolt9654]

That green kit is a thing of beauty

[@district51_rc]

Complete respect. Very cool to see all the kits on one place.

[@ryancarona4199]

Say what you want about Lars currently but his drumming during the master of puppets and justice for all tours where untouchable he was a beast during that era

[@kevinc9292]

Amazing music was made with those legendary kits. Lars is one of my heroes 🙌

[@BrandonMelvinDrums]

This was amazing! Tama was my first kit I bought myself and 2 more after. I'll always love Tama.

[@HubLocationSound]

I vividly remember drawing that white/black Tama drum set on my textbooks in 1991.

[@Bensworth_Drummington]

Never forget that amazing black album sound was recorded on gretsch usa customs!

[@x8jason8x]

Gretsch and Yamaha kits are used in the studio a lot, that's not really a secret. I've got a beautiful 96 Starclassic maple that just sings live, but my 00 Starclassic Performer birch set records infinitely better.

[@wmxx2000]

The black hardware kits do look really good.

[@Sataini667-1]

Always loved his drumming, don't care what anyone thinks. I know it's almost a fancy trend to sh*t in his deteriorating skills but first and foremost we should always rate musical artists, especially the physical ones, by their peak years which to me is from Ride the Lightning to the Black Album (inclusive). Always wanted to have that white Tama kit. Absolutely the best!

[@senilodemenzi5739]

Tbh, I was just mildly interested while watching this. Then he walked to to the silver sparkle kit and my palms started to sweat and my heartbeat went up. The holy grail of snare drums is a rare sight!

[@danawallace3129]

been a fan since 1983 wow great video I am 53 now and a Drummer since I was 11

[@swindle2240]

one of the drummers of all time!

[@Deathsteppstar]

I love this, I want all of them

[@TheMeandrummer]

Lars is the reason I have two Tama kits. There is something about Tama that makes drumming fun and exciting. My parents bought me a Slingerland kit brand new and it was great but not rock. I always got good comments on both of my Tama kits Congratulations Tama and Lars . 🥁🪖🤘

[@MisteRGillouX]

My idol and my favorite drum brand : THANK YOU !!! 🤩🙌🏻🥁🔝🤘🏻❤‍🔥

[@gersonalves6041]

WOWWWWWWWWWWWW THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU TAMA!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!

[@jcdrums2798]

Awesome TAMA collection , Drummer dream life

[@tonialacran8688]

The m72 yellow and black kit is my all time fav❤🥁

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Mine too. Never been a giant drumkit fan as i think they look stupid. Lars current set up with two kicks two up, two down is about perfect.

[@Erich_U]

My first kit was a cheap white Pearl in 1994. I think it was called Pearl Forum. I put Tama stickers over the Pearl logos and painted the hardware black. Great memories.

[@markmedka1342]

Haha me too on my shitty Pearl Export kit 😂😂

[@KRIMHDrummer]

Awesome video! So much history in those Tama sets

[@elizabethhock4414]

That's C👀L, Thank you TAMA!

[@andrewrubenstein8880]

Had no idea Neil Peart made this connection. That's an amazing story.

[@eh3253]

Lars was and is the master of drum sound. His snare sound was always very upfront. The muted punchy bass drums. Heavy cymbals. The cymbals cut, and just die off. How he tuned his snare on the Saint anger album was very different. I still did enjoy the really high sound. The tight tight tuning. He never really had a really dry snare drum. It always popped hard.

[@Hellwyck]

Tuned it? He turned it off.

[@stevolene]

Feel the same way with Pearl as most kids do with Tama, great drums

[@CarnivorousSwarm]

Thank you Lars ! You are the raddest! \M/

[@drunken-skunk]

Best 🥁 DRUMS IN THE WORLD!! FOREVER \TAMA/!!😎☝️🤟💪🦾

[@castillo_max]

The mirror kit, the artstar 91', the green starclassic and magnetic orange my favorites ❤

[@cfusilier2]

That was really cool. I’ve had mixed opinions about Lars throughout my life, but it was awesome to see him geek out a little and become a drum nerd for a little while. 🤘

[@jasonphillips5817]

Thanks, Tama and Lars... Rock on, Viking...

[@huarachudo47]

This is f*ing awesome!

[@perryman987]

He might not be the best drummer among the rest, but he was the reason I started playing and my inspiration alongside Dave Lombardo.

[@erikdebower4307]

I first saw him play on the Master of Puppets when I was 14. As an aspiring drummer, it was quite monumental. I really don't understand the knock on Lars. I saw them this summer in Seattle, and they were all incredible!

[@jd0879]

Wow such an iconic interview full of Metallica history. Thanks Tama!

[@alviachdiyat8628]

Him and mike portnoy,the real keys that locked my ears just for tama drum since '10 🙏

[@Beholder505]

I love how they played Fade to Black when Lars talked about their gear getting stolen. James wrote the song because he was gutted over losing their gear but also because the Marshall head that was customized by the guy who did Eddie Van Halen’s amps was stolen. James mother bought this for him right before she died and it broke his heart. Fade to Black was born from it.

[@danlc95]

It was great to see him do this. I miss seeing PinStripe heads on them too! Huge influence growing up. I wanted to be a combo of him and Vinnie Colaiuta. 🤷‍♂️

[@SleepyMusician-s7o]

NGL, that intro was sick af 🤘

[@kenkamman7536]

such a cool video! what a great way to showcase Tama drums throughout the history of Lars and Metallica 🤘🤘 would be awesome to see more videos like this.

[@drgoodtimes]

my all time favorite kit is the grey set up.

Nice to see him seated at the black album tour kit! 🤩

[@Boblivion81]

That’s awesome. Celebrity art collector

[@adie_h_333_painting]

It would have been nice of Lars to sign the snare for the guy who leant it to you to complete the amazing Black album white Roam tour kit! Come on Tama help make it happen! (Or some kind of a thanks!) He did you a solid and even risked loosing it in the mail!

[@davidnixon5792]

That Black Album kit is where it's at!

[@krusher74]

The Gretsch bass drums and floor toms he used when back to the rental company. (that's how much he loves Tama)

[@TimStatic]

That was fucking RAD! 🙏🤘🤘

[@telsonalves8060]

Lars Ulrich e Tama Drums são Sensacionais .

[@TommyAustinDrums]

Hearing that Lars and Neil have spoken together… definitely a foreign sense of coming to America… and all of that! The Justice Grey drums.. before proper lighting and everything I always thought it was like a dark dark blue mixed with grey! Either way! Childhood favorite drumset for sure! 4 racks! 2 kicks!

[@levimageedrumsnz]

Epic video! So cool to see kits from each era 💪

[@AlinityA]

Tama your the legend.

[@zodiacmanan]

Neil Peart - Lars Ulrich - Tama! Legends.
