Hey everybody....
This is my first "Official" posting. I have replyed a few times but this is the First Posting I have started.
I am very much into Vintage Tama drums, but also Slingerland, Ludwig, Zildjian, you name it.
I Own and Enjoy a 23 and a half yr old Vintage Tama "SuperStar" kit in the Neil Peart configuration! I even ordered the shells to be "ArtStar" shells, but made to LOOK like Spuerstars, with a nice Bright Candy Apple Red finish!
For those whom would Like to see pics of this Kit in all her glory, please go to the link at the bottom of this Posting. They are old pics and I have done some Updating on the kit since those pics were taken.
I added "secondary" Legs to the Out Board sides of the bass drums, a stronger more "Correct" cymbal stacker post between the 18" Med. Crash and the 22" Ping Ride, rebuilt the "Sidny" trigger between the 12"& 13" toms, but otherwise the kit remains the same!
For those whom might wonder...."What is it like to acctually PLAY a kit like that?" I can some it up in one word.....AWSOME!!!!
I am Lucky EVERY DAY of my Life BECAUSE I have a drum kit like that!
I am not trying to brag, just acknowledgeing that I AM Very Luckt to have it! When ever I might feel like I am being shorted in life, all I need do is just LOOK at pics of my wonderfull kit and realize that I have to be one of THE Luckiest Drummers on the Planet!
I might not have Neil Peart's ACCTUAL "Weapon" Kit, but I have the next best thing! And I am proude of her!
