Hey fellow drummers, like most drummers a have a common problem, I need more drums. To be specific, I need the following:

Tama Superstar EFX in Mirror Chrome finish:
-22" x 18" Bass Drum
-14" x 14" Floor Tom

Two questions,

1) Does anyone have these drums that they are willing to get rid of?

2) Will Tama still send these drums (since both the model and the finish are discontinued)?

Thanks for lookin', Matt \m/_(-_-)_\m/

P.S. There's a pic of both the finish and what I'm trying to do with my kit attached.

Hi Matt!

Two answers:

1) Not me.

2) Since the Superstar EFX series w/Mirror Chrome finish still is listed in the 2010 catalogue, ordering two individual drums should be no problem. Sure they are listed as Hyperdrives only, but that does not effect the bass drum sizes. Unfortunately the floor tom size you want is not listed, but I could imagine it would be able to get as special order. Even if the finish is not official available anymore in 2012, it still can be ordered about 3 yrs. after it was discontinued.
This is the article numbers you should state when ordering:

Superstar EFX Bass Drum 22"x18" in Mirror Chrome - SXB22EZBN-MRC
Superstar EFX Floor Tom 14"x12" in Mirror Chrome - SXF14ABN-MRC (catalogued)
Superstar EFX Floor Tom 14"x14" in Mirror Chrome - SXF14***-MRC (not catalogued, possibly available via special order)

Hope this helps.

Cheers, cloth


PS: Pic attached? Hm?

Matt, I'm doing the same thing. Adding onto a brushed metallic black superstar hyper drive. Went to Guitar Center today since I couldn't find any on the net...they are going to call the Tama warehouse in PA Monday. Fingers crossed they have some toms stashed away somewhere on a shelf. If not, the dreaded custom order with a few months wait time.
Superstar Hyper-Drive, Brushed Metallic Black
Metalworks snare
Zildjian Cymbals
DW 5000 double pedal
Yamaha Hex Rack
Evans Black Hydraulic heads (primary)
Remo Black Suede heads (alternate)
Vic Firth sticks
