[@sarinsahil]

TAMA FTW! What brushes is Nick using, the black ones?

[@nathanielbrice8725]

Clicked video for the drums, stayed for Nick’s playing!

[@johnbarile7679]

Ive got the earlier 2015 model. Ive got 6 other kits Ludwig slingerland pearl rogers These are my favorite and the kick is the best best kick ive ever heard

[@davidfrueauff6933]

Man the floor Tom's a kick sound fantastic!

[@drummerdan95]

I have the original starclassic mirages, absolutely love them. Wish they were seamless like these though!

[@soundandrhythm]

I've been a drummer for 40 years and have owned over 15 kits. My clear acrylic Pearl set was my favorite sounding and looking kit.❤ I always covered the kit with a sheet when not playing to keep them clean and shiny, the dust makes clear drums look dirty fast.

[@thatdudekyle5690]

Nick’s chops are on point.. That man can make trash cans sound good!

[@arsonne]

I have the older version of this kit and it’s amazing. The kick drum is the best sounding kick I’ve ever heard and all the drums sound like canons

[@drzoidbergmd3200]

They look and sound fantastic, really punchy. Great playing as always

[@guiltyspark343able]

To be honest, I'm a little disappointed in this Limited Starclassic Mirage. I really expected more since it was TAMA's 50th anniversary. This kit is identical to the Silverstar Mirage launched in 2015, the only thing they changed was the suspension system and the Die-Cast Hoops. Even the drum sizes are the same. Personally, I see the Starclassic Mirage released in 2007 a better drum set, it has all the hardware features of a genuine Starclassic

[@user-vf1rj9dd4k]

Thanks. So true!!!

[@johnny5.56]

Yeah Tama is so far behind all the other manufacturers. In terms of marketing and what people want. And that's coming from a Tama diehard

[@larrymann1272]

I love my Tama SilverStar 5 pc limited edition edition acrylic drum set!

[@federicotibaldi6918]

Perfect for Portnoy new Dream theater Era tour

[@svenbohlin6017]

Wow, these drums just sound so amazing and Nick, you really are the king when it comes to demonstrating different drums in a good way - thanks a lot! 👍🙏

[@TheAnalogRebellion]

Beautiful drumming!

[@MultiSkyman1]

Another great demo by Nick!

[@jettsom]

I would not record with these but for live they are killers!

[@jaydixon32]

I wish I wouldn’t have sold my original Tama acrylic. I’m definitely getting these when I get some more money.

[@Tqpotts]

What black brushes were those he was playing with???

[@thiagomartins3940]

Tama was so Special, I love it

[@steve10471a]

Of course. I just bought a set last month and Tama releases this.

[@passion4drums]

Tama usually releases new kits, gear, and finishes around the start of the new year. I almost did the same, but decided to wait it out and now I've got these drums on the way! Just something to keep in mind if you are ever in the market for a new kit again.

[@kvmalley]

Those drums are awesome, and those freakin cymbals sound great too!!

[@stevetingley2508]

Beautiful set. Curious if they can be ordered indifferent sizes

[@markusthedrummer8143]

The best thing about these drums is the mounting system. This retro system proves that suspension mounts and all the over hyped and over priced mounting systems drums companies invent are simply marketing techniques. Yes I love my 2021 star cast tom mounts and quick-release memory locks but imo drum sounded better in the 80's with shallow bass drums, aged wood, metal on wood tom mounts, plain old triple flanged hoops, and drums heads with less plastic. I'm leaning towards picking up the acrylic version but might get the birch and acrylic. I appreciate Tama so much, I believe they make the all around best hardware and most affordable high quality drums.

[@DrummerAndyTaiwan]

Great drums but TAMA installed all these cheap Silverstar bass drum spurs on these Starclassic series, for a price tag like these higher end drums they should really bring back the thick Starclassic spurs!

[@artsal]

Best review, Nick you are the Best . thanks Sweetwater

[@yusufsupriyadi9406]

Good job Nick 👍

[@RikkiJoeDrums]

that snare is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Nico_Oconnor]

Nick, gracias en nombre de todos los bateristas

[@daltonidaho]

Wow, these sound insane!

[@DaveBateman1972]

Can’t believe no one is whining the kick only has eight lugs per head.

[@alvarolarino7335]

And the legs are the same as the performer... 2,9K EU in Europe... I don't understand

[@user-vf1rj9dd4k]

​@@alvarolarino7335well I guess somebody took the calculator, punched some numbers in and said this is how we are going to do it. Its mass industry still

[@HiredGunz98]

Which one is the best value? This Tama Acrylic or the DW Smoke glass/Sea Glass Acrylic?

[@LeakyJAZZ]

Why did he tune the 10” like that???

[@Chris-kj3bp]

I'm in love.

[@woody4269]

Nick's happily married mate.

[@jerrygamez5723]

Thanks for the video

[@user-zn8su4eb5p]

🇮🇳🇮🇳❤👌❤👌❤👌❤

[@andrewsun4385]

Awesome!!!🌟🌟💯💯

[@tonybeck8216]

Is he in an official office with Tama? I've been playing Tama since the 70s and other than great looks, not really different in sound than Imperial, rock star, but with less resonance.

[@Michaelbrian777]

More colors would have been nice. Acrylic Violet or Acrylic marina green would have been awesome. 2- 20x22s 8x10 10x12 16x16 16x18

[@chrislespron664]

Wooooooaaaaaaahhhhhh

[@sarinsahil]

TAMA FTW! What brushes is Nick using, the black ones?

[@andrewdaish-fv3of]

Can you order add on toms and if so what sizes are available? Octobans too maybe?? And what doesn’t it have limited edition badges? That’s a bit odd?

[@Monsterdrumma]

The kit link says no content so no price to let you know!

[@passion4drums]

All I need to know is price, my budget is starclassic performer but im assuming it'll be more than that 😭

[@drummerdan95]

@@passion4drums $1999.99 for the kit and $399.99 for the snare

[@TomDavids1]

Nicky d. Wow, choppe are bsck.

[@nitsudocsicnarf347]

Take my money.

[@adamplaysmeinl]

Wheres the tone on that kick? May as well have the pedal up agaisnt a wall

[@kyleboggs1966]

That 10 sounds weird

[@drummeralbertrivera9577]

I love these drums, but the new Starclassic badges are straight up cancer. 🤮

[@tonybeck8216]

Why do these guys want to show off chops rather than hitting each drum to really get the sound individually?

[@jameslamm6634]

He did that, you watching the right video?

[@erictorres4889]

No thanks I think I will stick with my Tama superstar classic 7 piece Maple set I love my 22 by 18 bass drum depth is everything the star classics are overrated

[@HaloAdmiral]

What a crackhead take

[@PrinceAsmodeus]

Acrylic drums 🤮

[@Aretumis]

I wish these came with an 8" tom, that would've sold me on these

[@izziweedman1117]

This drummer play soooooo tasty ❤❤❤❤❤

[@johnbarile7679]

Ive got the earlier 2015 model. Ive got 6 other kits Ludwig slingerland pearl rogers These are my favorite and the kick is the best best kick ive ever heard
