    Yep. $299. The only thing wrong was the 12" Tom was missing a wing nut and a drum head. I couldn't believe it either!! Then they gave me a brand new pinstripe drumhead and a wing nut. I really like this kit.

    You stole them. Beautiful kit, very nice find for some very nice drums. I'm not biased to any brand so i'm saying this objectively - but that is one of the most desirable kits of all time in my opinion. Big deep sound, real good volume and sustain, aged shells so the tone will be very sweetened up by now. Enjoy those well, they are treasures.

    Russ said it perfect. What a sweet deal you ran into. Glad you was able to take advantage of it. Great find

    SWEET SCORE MAN!!!

    I just played my second gig with my new TAMA Artstar Customs, and I love 'em!! I think you will like the new kit quite a bit.

    I ran into a similar deal a few months ago. I got the power-tom sizes in 12,13,16, and 22" drums in British Racing Green. I picked up my kit for $500, so I think you have me beat deal wise, but I was happy to pay it to get this sweet kit. My kit is about 16 years old, but looks great, and more importantly, sounds killer!

    Heck, there was an Artstar II kit in my same sizes in Birdseye Maple at an estate sale for sale with cymbals and hardware for about $600. The deals are out there. Just be patient.

    Enjoy brother!!



    p.s. Side note... how do you guys post pics? All I see are link posting capabilities. What am I missing?

    I am not usually a fan of full length lugs, but those are very cool and a bit different than any others I have seen Tama use. Very nice score. The Yamaha head confused me for a second, too.

    I think I love to play the drums simply because you get to hit 'em!!!
