Tama Drums Discussion

Pics of the new B/B Red Mahogany I got a few months back:







Being the first gig out with it, the sound guy brought to my attention an issue with the new Starclassic tom mounts- there's no good place to mount a mic! So I've been doing a little research and found Tama actually makes a little metal bracket that bolts to the mount, providing a nice little arm to mount the mic to giving optimal placement. Figured I'd share incase anyone else runs into this issue and didn't know of this option:



Part number is MHAM10 - I'm getting a quote as I type.

I don't care for their new mount system. If I ever buy a Star, it will be standard.

I like "pit crew" adding parts as the jam continues.

The stands are great & give my back a rest I'm not using the hi-hat stand as it is a pain with my DW MDD's as they have a wide base plate.
I will use it when I get around to just using a single. My only bugbear about the whole set to be honest is the fixed foot plate on it.

Yeah I agree, my only complaints with that hardware are the fixed foot plate as well and no way to attach a boom arm to any of the stands. I make it work though

What do you mean "fixed foot plate"? The tripod piece is only in one position?

On most Hi-Hat Stands you can "Swivel" the footplate to accommodate double pedals. On the Crosstown it is fixed in place :(

Maybe v2.0 will add some upgrades like a swivel pedal and included boom arms? Next thing you know there's goes the weight advantage. lol
