Hello...
I actually have a stagestar myself, and i was wondering which bass drum head is the best for this kit. I bought a Coated Emperor and it is awful, no rebound and no sound. 
Which one do you guys think i should get?

WorldRhythm wrote:<strong>Yeah! Bring back the limited edition Stagestar!</strong> I found a guy selling the Limited Edition in white marine pearl. He's asking $450.00. I thought about getting it for my younger students to learn on. It's hard for a 6 or 7 year old to reach the drums on a full size kit. I'm just a little skeptical about the riser for the bass pedal. It looks like it pulls the beater back too far away from the bass drum to get a solid punch.<edited><editID>drumm</editID><editDate>2008-2-4 22:1:10</editDate></edited>

The guy ended up selling those limited edition drums to someone else even though he and I has an agreement. I found another stagestar kit with ZBT cymbals with it for $300.00. I have G2's on the toms, Evans Genera on the snare and an emad on the bass. The kit sounds amazing. I love it!

I just bought one of these kits used and in new condition complete 5pc set for 400.00. I have to say I think I got a great deal. I'm using it as a rental for a yearly event I do. I'm really a soundman not a drummer. My question here is should I cut a hole in the kick drum front head for micing? I have not seen one pic in this forum of a kick with a hole. Is there a reason I shouldn't do this? Will it affect the tone if I do this? I have to say I love the tone of this kick and would hate to lose it. Any advice? Thankks!

hey cwend...i think dat u shouldn't cut a hole in the front head. at the moment, i hav this kit...itz a great kit, but i'm gonna get a superstar soon. this kit's bass drum iz nice n punchy with very little boom. i'm thinkin' dat if u cut a hole...there would b almost no boom at all...n it would sound very 'flat'. if u r gonna use this kit only for micing situations...then go ahead with the hole cutting. i hope this helps.
Playing the drums is a passion.

Cwend, if you put a mic. hole in the front head, keep it small; just big enough to get the mic. in. If you have a bass mic. that you can spare, get a May system and mount it inside the bass, that way you don't have to cut a hole.<IMG style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick="AddSmileyIcon'smileys/smiley2.gif'" alt=Wink src="http://www.tama.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0">

<P>Hello I am new to the forum and I am a Drummers Dad. The first kit I bought Cody was a Tama Stagestar. He is very small for his age and was playing a First Act Kit I bought in Toys R Us. Cody loved the drums so 6 months later he got The Stagestar Kit. </P> <P>I had been shopping around and kept going back to this music store Music Central and one day Bob said if you want that kit its yours for $300.00. It was like the hand of God granting me my wish to upgrade Cody because he had already started taking lessons. Cody was 8 years old at that time.</P> <P>This kit, once I learned over the first year how to tune it and get the best sounds out of it, is excellent. He is almost 12 now and his teacher uses it to jam with him at the end of his weekly lesson. He loves The Stagestar Kit. He said he would gig with it. </P> <P>I already knew it was a great Kit because Cody had been playing on it for 3 years before Doug started teaching him. I learned to be my sons Drum Tech. It took time but I learned to tune That Stagestar Kit for my son. We love the Evans Heads G1</P> <P>Check it out. Please. I dont know how to post it on this site but type in the search engine on Youtube "10 year old drummer Cody rocks tama drums"</P> <P>Great Forum....... Codys Dad, Rob</P>
Did you practice your lesson today?
