Tama Mastercraft

Loading...

Picked this up yesterday to go along with my 80's Imperialstar kit. It looks like the bottom rim is from a Ludwig Super Sensitive? Top hoop looks right but magnet does not stick so I was guessing brass???...Is that typical of the old Tama Die Cast rims from this time? Also the muffler is missing some pieces if anyone could point me in the right direction there. Any additional info on these drums would be great.

Thanks,

Derek

The top rim is the correct diecast type and made from a metal alloy, not brass. The Mastercraft line includes some great drums! I currently have two and have had a few more.

Here's a link full of info:

Thanks for the input orangmi! Bottom hoop hard to come by? ...as well as muffler parts?...or pretty easy to score?

Just keep watching eBAY, they show up occasionally. You might end up having to buy a "donor" drum to get both...Help2
