Today, a set of Tama mini-tymps (MT68St) arrived which I had purchased from ebay. Although second-hand, they were in mint condition. I was very pleased. I thought they might provide a bit of variety to my vintage Stars which I use on a regular basis. The seller also enclosed the original tag with the bar code. On the bill, the words "Made in China" sttod out immediately. I play with vintage drums and know very little about modern Tamas. Does Tama outsourse to China for many of their products? Are some of the complete drum sets also made in China? Hardware? I know that the world has become a smaller place but, since when has this been happening?
Thank you.
