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

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

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.

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

[johnbarile]

Ive got the earlier 2015 model.

Ludwig slingerland pearl rogers

[davidfrueauff]

Man the floor Tom's a kick sound fantastic!

[federicotibaldi]

Perfect for Portnoy new Dream theater Era tour

[drummerdan]

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

[Tqpotts]

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

[drzoidbergmd]

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

[jettsom]

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

[DaveBateman]

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

[svenbohlin]

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! 👍🙏

[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!

[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.

[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

[stevetingley]

Beautiful set. Curious if they can be ordered indifferent sizes

[thatdudekyle]

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

[kvmalley]

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

[HiredGunz]

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