Just a little out of my Stage Custom budget.
Ho my god, that's the blue curly Maple I want....well, too expensive to buy from them, I already have a quote from Murat, I still have to wait for some assets sold in France...but, as you have to wait for 8 months once the deposit has been made, that gives you times to save for them...
Murat has a very good relationship with Hoshino USA because he sells a LOT of Tama Star kits . He will get you a killer deal .
Any time I called. They didn't take me seriously, they replied basically with easy advices without even listening to was what I was asking. They might have thought that a beginner, moreover a keys player, will never buy a Star Reserva Maple as his first snare, I made me feel that I was too little for them and they didn,'t want to loose time for me.... So, instead of helping with the snare I was almost sold. They told me the basic "takes black beauty, that's it. Plus the rate and taxes are not in my favor...but at that one so bought it at Sweetwater, super fast and I got to get the advices from Nick who was really helpful. In two days, I got it!!!.... But too expensive compared to buying in Canada but am was not aware of high end drums shop like Murat at time...ok I had a lot of question, first snare. 1200, only YouTube video...so, normal I was asking. Anyway. They are god for uSA but not for people living in Canada.
I think yes, I had no idea about what a Star Maple could cost here in Canada, it was more than what I had expected maybe because I had the prices in USA in mind but he proposed to me a fair deal...And at least, he replies to me without thinking that a keys player should or would never be spending that much on a drums kit which was more the impression I was left with after having talked to DCP.
That finish is beautiful! Sonoresque!
Thank you sir! There were a couple of finishes I liked but it was config/price that were the driving factors. All I know is Tama is asking nearly $1200 more for the same kit that I bought just before New Years what with their price increases here in 2022. From that perspective this finish looks absolutely fanatastic!
How would you compare these two kits?Thank you sir! There were a couple of finishes I liked but it was config/price that were the driving factors.

Now I can hunker down for the winter with my Tama Star Walnut and my Sonor Prolite. Life's good if a bit frigid here in the 'burgh!
Capt Obvious checks in!
I think JDA’s posts require some interpretation to see their true meaning. Gotta crack the code!
Here's an older review of the Prolite by Shane at DCP
What year is that drum?
How old is that drum
