You'd be surprised at how many professional drummers buy stagestars just to throw around and practice on. They make great little jazz kits.

jazz kits. <br> <br> Many years ago, I would have scoffed at such an idea. But then Tama introduced the 'new' era of Rockstars, and it blew away my concept that a cheap drum set could not sound good. The bottom line is that drum set manufacturing has come such a long way over the years, that the cheapest drum set made today, has the *capability* (please no one misunderstand what I'm saying here) to sound more resonant and warm than older Gretsch and Slingerland kits that people lauded back in the 50's to 70's. I mean, the shell construction is better, thinnger, stronger, and bearing edges sharper and of course drum heads are made much better these days. I'd put up a Stage Star against a good older kit (if we're talking about jazz here). I mean, it's not on the level of a Rick Marotta Yamaha or Hip Gig because of the materials used in construction, but hey, if you need a good, cheap jazz kit for touring with, yup, I'd do the whole Stage Star 4pc thing any day<br>

Are Stagestars just small Swingstars or are they a different quality?

I like the Stagestars. Cool little kits.
<br />
<br />I was going to get one as a second to keep at my band's practice space, but I
<br />got a good deal on a new kit with cymbals and hardware on ebay, so I went
<br />with that.

<P>Yeah, stagestars are sweet practice kits. I have one that I use as a four-piece practice kit, and the bass drum is a BANGER! Very punchy. It sounds sweet mostly in acoustic or low-volume situations.<IMG src="http://www.tama.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0"></P>

I have a Midnight Blue Stagestar. I got it because it was affordable and, was a Tama. In the past few years I've tricked it OUT!!!! I've added an Iron Cobra flexi glide, a new hand hammered piccolo snare, new heads except on the bass, and new cymbals. My plan is get a lot of new hardware and cymbals, so when I get my new set, I wont pat an arm and a leg for accessories. I love the way it sounds! For the price, Stagestar can't be beat!!
Well, those aren't for New Year's. Those are my everyday balloons.
