    Re: Trying not to succumb to GAS but...

    Well just to update I went to see the set and bought it and all the hardware and cymbals for $1300 (not the sled). The kit has some scratches and dings but overall looks good. Here it is in pieces...

  7. Re: Returning to the Kit and Needing an Overhaul --

    Being kind of a Tama guy I'd say the Starclassic Performer would be a great upgrade after Rockstars. Can do all the Metal or other styles really well.

  11. Re: Considering redo on mounted tom height - rack or stand or not?

    Nice setup i-player. I'm as they say comfortable, but no sacks of money, plus I like my Tama Star Classic as is. I'm a few inches shy of 6' too so... maybe a hybrid rack or a tom tom holder. This...
  12. Re: Considering redo on mounted tom height - rack or stand or not?

    Re: Bullitt Mustang

    I love muscle cars, they were new when I was young. I loved Bullitt and Steve McQueen was so cool because he really drove race cars too. Hmmm I'll start my car fund now and buy less sticks. LOL
