Tama superstar - but how old is it?

Posts: 513 Threads: 102

Hi - This is my newly-acquired Tama Superstar. Got it for ?200, with snare, and extra concert toms and pedals too, so not a bad find! There's quite a few nicks to the finish, but I think it'll play fine! (If anyone could direct me to a post/guide about touching up finishes on here, I'd appreciate it!) The guy I bought it off has had it almost 20 years, and someone had it before him, so I'm not sure how old it is - can anyone help? Know its not a snare, sorry! I'll list the snare in another post. Anyway the numbers are: Bass drums; 128641 and 100536

Floor - 96440 14" 100697, 13" 96333, . I know these are not an entirely accurate way of identifying, but better than nothing. All drums have the 'T' badge.

For an exact year it may not be a bad idea to directly contact Tama about it.The Superstars were made from 1976 until about 83-84.
